D7000 Firmware Update  Now Available.  Dave. (UK)

I have, for many years, followed battery technology with reference to electric vehicles.  I'm afaraid, and in spite of previous posters, Li is about as far as it goes at the moment.  Yes there are...

The OP, if that is who you are referring to was merely wondering why people did what they did - he wasn't criticising.

Kind words Bruce.  On the tv programme I always noticed that typewriter, lurking in his study - I think that it exemplified the man himself, old,proven, does what it says on the tin and no fancy...

Andy, I think he gave great pleasure to a lot of youngsters who then went on to more advanced things - you might say that he played a great part in shaping peoples lives - that is his true...

Well, there are I would suppose many to pick from and although many within the politically correct brigade would abhor his (possibly alleged) remarks, to me anyhow I think that I myself would have...

Well for a 'sexist' he had a funny way of showing it.  He helped many, many girls to follow their hobby and also to gain employment giving them his time and helping with equipment and his...

For all of the asto photographers and enthuisiasts Patrick Moore of The Sky at Night fame has passed away aged 89 years. Certainly in the UK he gave great help to and encouraged youngsters in the...

You write of a 'cracked' OMD as if it is some major damage when in reality this is not so - the effect on the camera either to the engineering or cosmetics is nil. I only became aware of it after...

Well spotted Jim - thanks. Dave. (UK)

Hi Marco - Yes, the jpeg engine on the OM-D is also very good indeed. I shot both raw and jpeg but except for any shots with extremely wide DR I now use jpeg most of the time.  I agree that in LR4...

Hi Paddy.  I think it's the chips on the cartridge that are the main thing - usually required for non standard inking systems, the larger cartridges can be supplied but the 'chips' are something...

Yes Mack, we were experiencing similar behaviour by the police in the UK a while ago - making it up as they went along - usually referencing anti terrorist legislation with a touch of made up stop...

Re Park Cameras. In my many visits over the years I find it surpising they do any business at all. On buying visits I have found myself wandering around the shop and failing to gain attention from...

Very well written - great clarity for those of us who struggle at times to fully understand some points of technical performance.  Thanks.  Dave. (UK)

I would suppose that at the end of the day, and irrespective of whatever smoke and mirrors the manufacturer has dreamed up, the important thing is our perceived quality of the result. After all if...

By 'pop up' I presume you refer to the separate flash module used on the OMD?Dave. (UK)

I eventually downloaded and applied the firmware 1.5 although partially through my own stupidity of not fully reading the instructions properly, it was a bit of a suck it and see exercise. Like a...

At the risk of prolonging my original posting.  I had indeed downloaded the aformentioned pdf. I then printed the files on my (double sided) printer and with judicious use of twine and Cascamite...
