Well I tried it. Basically I have to approve the app on my account, but it then happily added many of my "friends" images to a gallery ... but not all, so I presume there is a way of stopping it...

I can tell you that gear I purchased in Canada and the US has been serviced with no problems at all (and no price difference) here in the UK.Equipment under warranty may be a different matter, but...

But then if you did buy a camera this year, probably you've made a vote with hard earned cash for what you think is the best. It would be silly to vote for anything else.

Hmm - image quality (up tp 1600 ISO) on my OM-D is significantly better than on my Canon 7D

Tricky one as I bought both the 5DIII and OM-D this year (so obviously think both are great cameras). But in the end the OM-D gets my vote. The 5DIII is wonderful, but evolutionary - arguably the...

I really doubt any reputable manufacturer has been producing large lenses just for the sake of it!Indeed Canon for one has been for years looking at ways to reduce the lens size with their DO...

This has happened with nearly every Canon I've bought. Usually they become available in the spring, and price drops occur in the fall.But for me the summer is the busy season. In the case of the...

Absolutely - I was particularly impressed by how this translates into B&W. Images look more film like than any other DSLR I've used, including my Canon 5D3.Cheers,Colin

Well I'm a Canon user and have just started using the EM-5 as a 'backup' to my 5D instead of a 7D. I think my feelings are a bit mixed at present. The Oly is a great little camera in its own right,...

Sorry, reading that again I was a bit unclear. Yes, the door has a seal, but the area around the hinge seems suspect. While the actual compartment might be secure, there appears to be nothing at...

Yes - while the top of the camera appears to be reasonably weather resistant, the battery door - particularly the hinge - doesn't seem to be sealed at all.

Not the DSLR as such - but possibly the APS-C DSLR. If we can assume equivalent lens quality, then cropped DSLR sensor size is not big enough to offer a real advantage. FF however definitely is -...

I must admit I'm a bit disappointed by the battery life - without exageration, I'm getting around 1/10th of the life I get with my Canon DSLRs. However I guess with the combination of more...

I'm as cynical as the next man, but I think that's a bit extreme. Canon could have NOT introduced EF-S lenses, and forced everyone to buy more expensive "full size" lenses for their crop cameras -...

I just replaced my 7D with the OM-D, and have been seriously thinking about replacing the rest of my Canon kit (including a 5D3 and 500mm f4) and what it would take to make that attractive. Rather...

I've just acquired an OM-D as a replacement for my Canon 7D which got trashed due to a salt water soaking. Loving it. Better in all respects to the 7D except continous focus/tracking.Anyway, to the...

Not if you mean the same image quality as the 7D. 46mp of sub-standard is still substandard.It would need to be at least 5D3 standard to make it worth while. In fact a 5D3 with a 46mp sensor would...

In the specific case of Canon, and in particular with respect to the 5D3 and 7D, the 5D3 provides better image quality.But, this is not an inherent property of FF. It's a combination of pixel...

Seems a reasonable explanation but I think the linewe felt that this type of camera in this particular user group, auto focus performance is not 100% criticalis a little concerning. So is this...

Depends what you shoot - tracking a moving object in an off center composition is not really practical with centre point. It's manual focus or altermate point selection - think of trying to do...
