I can understand excluding real trouble spots, but why assume that virtually any nation other than the USA and Canada present difficulties?  Why not avoid all the stress - 1) await full payment...

Hi Peter, I occasionally lament the passing (virtually) of film and more so a few specific film cameras that have never been replaced in digital (eg the Mamiya 7 and other 120 RFs).   I've been...

Hi, Nice shot, great lighting - very atmospheric.  Rod

It sounds to me as if the rumored new camera is to the S110 as the G1X was to the G12.......more or less.  Anyway, let's wait and see what it looks like if and when it hits the market. Cheers, Rod

Hi, For those not going to the CR site - they're rumoring an 18mpx APSC camera styled like the s110 with no OVF or EVF.  Digic 6 processor.  Due late summer.  (Northern Hemisphere I presume)....

Hi gooseta, No not crazy.  Over the years I've met a number of people who've jumped ship from other brands to Canon primarily to get the suite of TS lenses for architecture, landscape and still...

The G1X's relatively slow (but very accurate) AF and very slow between shot times are consistent with others' conclusions.  I'm not sure why the OP has written down its low light performance to...

A query please.....  As I understand it these MILC stats are Japanese manufacturing stats only.  So it excludes Samsung and Leica.  (If I'm wrong would somebody kindly set the record straight.) ...

Hi Peter, I don't have an XP1, but I actually agree with you.  I love ingenuity too.  I was just agreeing with Keit II that I think the implementation of the OVF in the XP1 will have its logical...

Hi, Thanks.  Looks good at wide apertures.  Some tasteful and evocative shots. Unfortunately to my way of thinking, the reviewer has opted for wide apertures to give subject isolation and separate...

Agreed on EVFs.  Zooming hot shoe OVFs have been made before today (eg by Linhof for 4X5) and front of window accessory lenses have been made before (usually for macro).  Neither are exemplary...

Hi, I read the original blog article - and agree with some of his thoughts, perhaps not all.  But it's not an either/or matter and I don't think he's saying that.  My gauge is that the future...

I agree with you but not for the reasons you stated.  Ie I agree that 35mm SLRs weren't king.  15-20 years ago I was doing pretty much exactly the same thing - landscape, architecture, and some...

Hi Simon, Wow.  Not for me - not this week anyway, I've already spent my pocket money.  :-) I occurs to me that you'd need quite a tripod and bracket to turn that on its side to face upward for a...

Indeed.  As customers, we pay them to worry about their futures, so why do it ourselves?  Answer - We might get some tech advice and trade thoughts here about photography, but we really write here...

Hi, Does anyone know where fixed lens larger sensor cameras get reported?  Eg X100, RX1, RX100, G1X, Coolpix A, Ricoh GR etc? They're high end fixed lens small cameras that aren't DSLRs, MILCs or...

Hi there Carl, I'm kind of with Marco.....  The G1X is here and fills some of your requirements.  Why would Canon offer a third intermediate sensor camera? If you want me to play, as we've done...

Hi, I have a G12 and a G1X.  I bought two spares for the G12 from different independents.  One was fine (marketed by Battery World, an Australian battery retail chain) and one sourced elsewhere was...

Yes.  There's no substitute for buying a camera you simply like to make you get out and use it and enjoy it.  Someone else above said that any brand will take good photographs.  I agree, but brand...

Hi Gary, Agreed - shifting a lens with a 36mm FOV on APSC isn't as useful.  The degree of correction is relatively small. That's why Pentax's 28mm PC lens isn't as popular as it once was  - it has...
