The major difference between the size of a DSLR and a roughly comparable film SLR is the thickness of the body.  If you were to compare, say, an EOS 650 with a modern Rebel they share many features...

Unfortunately I have neither, sorry.

Yes but unfortunately Olympus can not currently command Leica prices.

I'm sure they are but their distance from the camera may vary quite a bit, so their size in the viewfinder may vary and therefore the effect on the metering.

Using +1 or +2 compensation on AV is only going to work reliably if the horses remain a constant size in the frame, or if you use spot metering which is tricky with moving subjects. Anyway I'd...

Minor correction - it was (is) still a reflex viewfinder even though the mirror doesn't move.

Don't know if this is useful but .............. 2012 Total Global Production of Interchangeable lens cameras (CIPA): DSLRs                             16,860,535 units      Non...

Having a well regarded camera like the OMD doesn't necessarily translate into good profits. While this camera has been reasonably successful in a small niche, it is expensive for the mass market...

Now that is a very sensible question! Sony have had a go but it doesn't appear to be selling that well and GoPro really have the market to themselves. Canon, Nikon, etc., should probably get...

I admire your confidence but .............

How many do you regard as lots? Unfortunately the numbers of young people attending development workshops is a drop in the ocean compared with the numbers required to keep companies like Olympus...

OK, a quick summary of each since nobody else has provided one: Evaluative - splits the scene into segments.  Each segment is metered separately and any small areas that contains subjects of...

Yes 3x3" should be plenty large enough - although I was pretty horrified to see that one sheet costs $64.95 plus postage!

Well usually the default option that comes with the lens (if my memory serves me correctly) is the Canon 52mm Drop-in Screw Filter Holder supplied with a 52mm screw in clear protection filter (in...

The EF85/1.8 (and the EF100/2.0 which have similarities in their optical design) are specifically designed to provide a smooth blurring of out of focus areas which makes them especially suited to...

Canon make three Drop in filter holders.  One that has a circular Polariser with an external control wheel allowing it to be rotated.  Another that accepts 52mm screw in filters (any make with the...

Having used both and in real use, as opposed to photographing test charts, they are virtually indistinguishable in terms of results. The IS can be useful depending on what you are shooting, as can...

I've got a feeling that Canon New Zealand forwards this kind of repair to Canon Australia ..........
