I was in the same boat, mainly using a compact for landscapes and travel photos. I picked up a second hand Canon DSLR (and received the nifty fifty - 50mm lens - for Christmas) and spent about a...

Hi Phantom,You should ask in the Samsung forum for opinions on the nx20 (lots of users there). You should also consider the lenses available for both systems; most of the samsung lenses are very...

Really nice pictures, makes me want to visit. Medieval and Tutor building in England were also often build leaning over in order to gleam a bit more floor space above, so that sounds like a good...

Are these firmware updates useful if you're using the 30mm on an older body? (I'm using NX100).

The 30mm‘s price seems to have increased, it could be had for less than £100 before Christmas!

I don't see an issue with that, it's just for framing. Can it display a histogram? That's a more important question I feel.

Isn't that price similar to the x20? If Samsung were smart they would start plugging their impressive lens lineup (probably as good as Fuji's optically although not in build quality) and how...

Ah! Unfortunately my eyes refuse to do that, could never do those magic eye pics either (and my eyes 'adjust' to 3D movies after a few minutes and they stop being 3D and just look crap).  I do...

On behalf of the UK I would just like to apologise for Piers Morgan (but we're really happy he's not here anymore so it's a bit of a half-hearted apology).

I believe such a law exists in the UK as well, but we still see footage from undercover journalists. Possible to get an exclusion for journalism? Although I hardly think this video counts as...

I'm very interested to hear (and see) how these work out. I wonder what happened to the Korean chap on here who had reverse engineered some extension tubes himself and was looking into putting them...

You can use Picasa to view exif, just choose properties. See here for a guide https://sites.google.com/site/dharmitsphotography/tutorials/picasa-tutorials/view-exif-with-picasa

How can I see the pictures in 3D? I know nothing about 3D photography.

You're right! I'd totally forgotten about iFn because I also never use it (I remember thinking it sounded great before I bought an NX100 but then I found you have to press the iFn button first then...

2 sites is too much for you yet you list 3 websites for photosharing that you use. Many on 500px and 1x are pros and these sites provide ways for them to increase exposure to an audience that is...

Looks interesting. But seeing that photo of the back of it, no four-way controller, few buttons, clearly using the touchscreen for many things - no, I don't like that at all. One of my favourite...

I particularly like the ship and the shot under the bridge. The HDR is subtle and well done in my opinion.  Looks like some weird pixellation in some of the skies, is that a result of the HDR process?

Of course I know Connect is part of Dpreview. But why not have the entire story on Dpreview and put the headline with link on Connect? My original point was that 500px is far more tailored to...

Not sure why this news is on Connect and not the main site. 500px has mobile apps, sure, but they seem to be actively discouraging the uploading of photos from them. This is in keeping with their...

abortabort, you are aware that the NX200 (which compares very well to the NEX7) will still function in 2 years time? Cameras don't simply stop functioning when new models come out. Every DSLR and...
