  • Commented on Sony NEX-F3 Hands-on Preview preview

    As the owner of two csc systems, dare I say those people asking for small firm-factor + aps-c sensor + articulating screen + built-in evf + built-in flash + reasonable lens line up....should look...

  • Wrote a user review Star buy w long legs (4.5 / 5)
    Bought this only a couple of months ago, ex-demo model that was being cleared so got it for a steal. For a model nearly two years old there was little expectation of being wowed, just thought it'd...
  • Replied in The snake bites.
    Met a Samsung rep whilst browsing in-store yesterday, she was demonstrating the new wi-fi enabled compact - Looked fun, though why you'd want to "take a photo downstairs whilst you're upstairs" is...
  • Replied in My week in 30mm
    Enjoyable viewing - Interesting compositions, and that 30mm is indeed a treat! -- Gordy
  • Commented on Apple launches third-generation iPad with hi-res screen, and iPhoto for iOS news story

    Everybody pretty much looks terrible on video chat, esp if you think most people hold the unit lower than the face, so the camera's pointing up at your chin(s), and your face is tilted down...So...

  • Replied in 100HS comments or reviews?
    I've started to flip through the manual recently, which threw up some surprises - Such as, it's got Auto Exposure Lock (AEL), Auto Focus Lock (AFL) and even Flash Exposure Lock (FEL). Frankly...
  • Wrote a user review Tiny compact with a big heart (5.0 / 5)
    My first Canon, extremely pleased w picture quality overall from this tiny compact. Canon have made a compact that can appeal to your basic p&s user w their Auto option, whilst sliding a switch...
  • Replied in What would you choose a new WX10 or demo NEX-5 16mm?
    My 2c - The two of you working in tandem might make the best photo-taking team w a CSC + compact! If you're going on vacation together you could use your 5N for the "quality" shots and she...
  • Replied in NX10 Shutter Speed
    Never tried it so could be very, very wrong, but won't one of the curtain modes (2nd curtain?) help you with this? -- Gordy
  • Commented on Just Posted: Canon PowerShot G1 X samples gallery news story

    What great shots! And pretty ok with the whole non-interchangeable zoom lens things too. Not a fanatic about these things just loving my CSC with a pancake lens, Love the idea of the CONVENIENCE...

  • Commented on IMG_0476 photo in {Text:UserName}'s photo gallery

    I guess pricing on the J1 and some discounting will keep it safe, but yeah the V1 w the kit lens is only a whisper behind this (or the same once you buy the flash), and more expensive w the twin kit.

  • Commented on IMG_0470 photo in {Text:UserName}'s photo gallery

    Very impressive! I'm really liking what Canon are doing with this model.

  • Commented on IMG_0427 photo in {Text:UserName}'s photo gallery

    At iso3200? Impressed!

  • Replied in Sony's HHT is such a winner
    Thank you all - It's the high-functionality of modes like HHT, i-Panorama, and i-Contrast that makes me a happy Sony fan! -- Gordy
  • Replied in First outing w 30mm
    Thanks @SimonTramper and @thethirdcoast Starting to understand what the fuss is about with this lens, and about time too! Am getting a few of these and some portraits printed (a rarity for me)...
  • Created thread Sony's HHT is such a winner
    It's resulted in so many shots in just over a year (since I got this Sony) that would've otherwise been improbable/impossible to capture in the past. For me, it's real game-changing technology -...
  • Replied in HX100v, Snow shots, against the light
    Beautiful shots - just amazing captures! -- Gordy
  • Created thread First outing w 30mm
    First major outing w the 30mm, really enjoying using the camera w the pancake in situ, and getting used to the tighter perspective afforded by the...
  • Commented on Panasonic announces DMC-SZ7 and DMC-SZ1 mid-level compact superzooms news story

    What's with Panasonic deciding what models get Mega OIS and which ones get Power OIS? Surely at least the SZ7 has a high-end enough specification to give it Power OIS?

  • Commented on Samsung reveals WB850F, WB150F and ST200F Wi-Fi-connected cameras news story

    The 850F looks like a Sony HX9, probably intentional to help consumers make instore side-by-side comparisons, in which case the Samsung on paper trumps the Sony on just about every score. ...
