Its total rubbish now for posting, there's a new niggling problem every day. The forums are finished as far as I can see, for the first time in a long time I created a new thread on the Open Forum...

I would be very interested to see that comparison, it is still early days for camera phones, but the way they are selling there should be plenty of R&D money. Brian

And that's how it should be. Brian

Thanks Hossam, I missed this post so reply is a bit late. Brian

So why do we need the first three SLR models, they are already duplicated by mirrorless and redundant, I have struck them out. Brian

Thanks for reminding me, I had forgotten about that matter.

Thanks for clarifying how I feel about this, I obviously got my own views wrong on this matter, I will consult you in future when I want to know what I think. Brian

Why are you all worrying about it then?

I agree.

Some climb Mt Everest while others stroll in the park and smell the roses.   I understand your feeling of loss, anyone who is over 50 is probably feeling similair, its not only photography that...

The images can be used up to ISO1600, and contain a fine noise but none of that blotchy colored noise common on CCD sensors.  The lens has a little bit of blue fringing on edges at full zoom, yet...

Photographer, I have very little interest in the gear which is why I find this website frustrating at times.  Same with music as well for me, but with both of these things you still need an...

Thanks, the small camera has really surprised me. (in a good way). Brian

I follow what you are saying, I also own a fuji F100fd which I use at DR200%, and its very effective, but as you say, the cost is lightly more noise.  I accept that for the prevention of blown...
