It doesn't matter what exposure compensation is set in manual mode, the only things which are going to change your exposure (make your pic lighter or darker) are changes to the shutter speed,...

I'm hardly surprised by this quote from you, Dheorl. At times your responses have been nothing short of offensive. - and that's not just my opinion. What's your problem? For the record, it's the...

Ha ha! :-)

Well, I didn't say "can't be used." I said "Limitations"...

You've prompted me to have a play with the camera and it IS possible to have the EVF on all the time (well, at least as long as the LCD used to stay on for before going to sleep - and that's easily...

I can (and did) do it with a 7D and I can't do it as well with a G5. It's not a fault with the camera but certainly a limitation. I've made a further post after some experimentation and it's the...

Got to disagree here. I think my 7D shots show I can take good enough sports shots. I have won the old Sports Council's North West Professional Photographer of the Year title and the sports...

A couple of posts have commented that, with an external EVF attached, these sort of cameras cease to be pocketable (or words to that effect). I had an E-PL5 with VF2 and still have a GX1 with LVF2...

Thank you, Brian. Some people can get a bit haughty on these forums and delight at condescending and uncalled for personal attacks. Mercifully, you and I (and most posters) don't have that...

I guess I just didn't have enough confidence in the equipment and my brief required a certain number of shots (to illustrate the story of the game on a website). The extra DOF was useful in giving...

Can't wait! :-)

Which was exactly what I did - until I decided I didn't want to do much sport any more (see previous post)...

Nice shots! :-)

I haven't done an EPL (FAPL) game for a couple of years, yslee1, and I think that shot of the Man U players celebrating was from my last game. The big agencies (like Getty, Reuters PA, etc), have...

You've just about summed up my feelings, Savas. I'd previously used an EOS-1n but when I added a 50D (handier for general work) I was disappointed with the poor percentage of keepers. I was still...

Thank you. Where's the 'Like' button? :-D As for Alumna Gorp's comment about what sports shooters did in the days before AF, that would take a hefty chapter in a book to answer - but I've been...

I've no doubt mirrorless is fine the sort of action you mention, Brian. I said I was getting good results from stage photography, which does involve speedy work in often low light. There's talk of...

I've been a professional photographer for 30 years this year. I got into the profession because I could handle action photography reasonably well and managed to win a couple of important sports...

Nice pix, Douglas...
