  • Replied in People worry too much about lens sharpness
    Thanks Derek for taking the time to go through the lenses, much appreciated. My husband has a really bad back from years of carrying too many cameras for too long and too far, and is now looking...
  • Replied in Nex newbie questions
    I earn my living from my pictures and during the 40+ years I have been doing that I have been landed with some truly dreadful pieces of kit that slipped through QC, so I am very cautious! When I...
  • Replied in Nex newbie questions
    Can I piggy back on these questions. I have seen reports that the Sony NEX lenses are disappointing for sharpness. Is this why there is all the fascination with legacy lenses? I used those lenses...
  • Replied in Fix your website DP Review
    Thanks everyone. My husband moved his favourites to Firefox, but the folders didn't come too! Chaos. I am still on XP because of compatibility with other software. I will just visit DPReview a lot...
  • Replied in Fix your website DP Review
    Thanks everyone, This is the only website I have problems with so I assumed it was with the site, everything else works just fine. I will upgrade my IE, I have too many important favourites saved...
  • Created thread Fix your website DP Review
    It is nearly six months now since the DPReview website refuses to load and hold the news pages with Internet Explorer, it loads and then moves to a new, black , blank page. I don't use Firefox, I...
  • Replied in CANON G2X Wish list
    Keep the viewfinder, good for bright days. If it is too big and heavy for you, buy a smaller alternative. If you want the IQ you need room for the sensor. I will sacrifice pocketable for...
  • Replied in G1x is a fail and here's why...
    I have eagerly awaited this camera but was gutted that it only zooms to 112mm?? To have it zoom to the 200mm I want it would have to be too big, so the interchangable lens option would be good. For...
  • Replied in using camera in extremly cold weather?
    Take care not to breathe on the viewfinder, or any other important part of the camera, because your breath will freeze onto the cold camera! Try to find gloves that you can work with when you need...
  • Replied in Broken Epsom P7000. Help please!

  • Created thread Canon 5D mk II files on broken Epsom P7000

  • Replied in P7000 lens cover doesn't fully open
    The P7000 is a flawed product, someone should have tested it before they marketed it. The lens cover on mine has just started sticking too. -- Cherry Alexander. www.arcticphoto.com
  • Commented on Leica invites entries for its Oskar Barnack Award 2012 news story

    Are you saying this will be more "Black & White Misery" ? I hope not!

  • Commented on Leica invites entries for its Oskar Barnack Award 2012 news story

    So what's wrong with white on white?

  • Replied in P7000 - Problems & Problems.
    1.The focus fails even in good lightening condition but ultimately it will focus after few try. 2.The Camera sometimes powers ON when any button is pressed in OFF mode. 3.The Camera resets to...
  • Replied in New Canon G##
    I really hope there is a G13 or 14, I want to get rid of my awful Nikon P7000 and hope for a little more zoom on a new G, more like my wonderful G9. Fingers crossed! -- Cherry...
  • Replied in How does the G9 stack up
    I read the reviews and knew that the focus was iffy but even after the firmware update, I still find it repeatedly won't focus, and I keep the bleep on so I know, that if I don't get a bleep, the...
  • Replied in How does the G9 stack up
    I loved my G9 but the front element was scratched by dust under the retracting lens cover and it had to go, but because I mostly used the tele end of its range I was not tempted by the G10-12 and a...
