I remember a gorgeous Indian curry buffet in the old town centre of Stockholm - just paradise.

Quantity does not always equal quality. I rather have fewer high quality shots than having to sift through thousands of mediocre ones, A problem with digital anyway nowadays and exacerbates the...

Excellent pics! Not sure whether you could have achieved them with a lesser camera than a full frame. On the other hand, you might have saved a lot of money if you have sticked with one of them...

Thanks for the advice. I do shoot RAW+JPEG in major holidays now, and you advice helped to specifiy when RAW is useful. I maintain that it is only useful if the shot (compostion or memorywise) is...

I think you misunderstood something. Exactly this I was pointing out.

If I would ever choose one, I would get the OM-D.... However, do not not see the point in switching, as I am happy and have invested a lot of money in my Canon system. If I would want to add a...

True. Beer was not invented in 1862.

This does hold true even within the DSLR fold! In particular if you are (stuck) with Canon. The Rebels are nice and lightweight - but do have crummy finders. The EOS 60D is a compromise with a...

Very nice pics - are these flower shotas from your garden?

The comparison is a bit unfair, as the PEN lacks a viewfinder, in my view an essential bit for serious photography. Let us therefore compare set-ups with similar functionality, see here: EOS T4i...

As a lazy jpg shooter, I appreciate that my DSLR allows me to manually adjust the shot as I want it with ease when I take it (just as in film days). Indeed one could argue that RAW is even more...

They also offered those of us who came from film finally a digital camera we could use in the ways we were used to and experienced in.... Many mirrorless cams like the stylish and nice OM-D are...

Not top mention the "Contras" in Nicaragua, funded by the now so much revered Reagan....

They really miss out on the nice British ales and bitters....

Products from American companies are not always made on America - as all products from Western companies are not necessarily made in  the country the headquarter resides in. Only the last assembly...

..because their calls were heeded and effective counter-measures taken, just as with forest decline (sulphur removal from power station exhaust gasses) and anticipated cooling (aerosol sprays)
