  • large sensor is not the be all and end all for everybody - if you want exhibition pics then fine - my Lumix with a 6.08 by 4.56mm 1/2.33" sensor delivers fine pictures for the 'net and A4 prints ...

  • having used the canon G1x there are downsides to a larger sensor - to give the 35mm equivalent lens range the wide angle 28mm on a G1x compared is a longer lens and the depth of field reduces as...

  • picked up another on ebay again a business seller - a little more detailed in the problem: Item number: 271206044587  This Sony camera produces great images however, the steady shot mechanism has a...
  • Many thanks for the input - and delighted this is an isolated situation. The auction is current - UK item number 300903603868 I will look elsewhere
  • Created discussions Viewfinder shift ?
    The comment below has been made on eBay by a dealer selling a A290, I was considering buying a Sony SLR - but this comment - should it put me off? is it correct? This Sony DSLR suffers from what is...
  • ok get of the soapbox. I simply asked if others had the same experience as me and its because I want to use the camera and I expect it to withstand reasonable use without looking like it has been...
  • thanks for the response - a trend developing here.
  • dump it. Buy a G10 or 11 or 12 or 15. the 'longer' lens range (because of the larger sensor) on the G1x means when you get closer up the depth of field is limited in any case. I achieved great...
  • thanks for the response - don't get me wrong overall I appreciate the camera, the weight, size and controls, it is simply the finish Canon have applied to the body panels, my G10 has a robust feel...
  • I have used and loved most of the G series cameras including the G15 but I sold it on very quickly when  I became concerned about the quality of what I assume was the painted finish of the body - a...
  • I agreed with you comments - but I seemed to have missed your point, it was?

    I guess like most products there is an optimum value for money point then the as functions, robustness & build...

  • I agree and both had low ISO settings (D700 at 100 - its an old habit from the film days) no RAW option on the Lumix and the Nikon lens the 24 - 85 f2.8. Sure the image from the D700 would have...

  • I printed up pictures taken with my old second hand Lumix FX-35 (cost £30) and my Nikon D700 to A0 size and in comparison and judged by a dozen people the picture taken with the FX-35 was favoured...

  • I have several of these - why? they deliver outstanding results the wide angle 25mm lens being part of this fine package. Battery life is fine, the flash doing all that you would expect. A print of...
  • Commented on {Text:Title} preview

    looks great - a comment on sensor size, clearly we are tempted to and do believe that the larger the better, there is more. I have produced A0 size (46.8 x 33.1 in) prints from my Nikon D700 sensor...

  • it is impossible to select a 'best' camera because best for one photographer may well be complete nonsense to another. The best camera will always be the one you have with you & not the one left at...

  • Amazon UK - the worst set of reviews by users, my purchase is on hold until Nikon get a fix.
  • Commented on The DSLR Field Camera article

    HDR techniques - please respect the fact that some people (ok it may just be me) see these images as a manipulation to far, compressing the natural lighting range to show detail. Did I just say the...

  • Created user reviews G15 review - update
    I have dumped mine sold given all at a low price - the new finish to the body of the camera feels fragile and toy like, shame shame shame mine damaged in moments - a marketing ploy to 'create' used...
  • I have worked with most of the G range of Canons - and I declare my passion for the G10. The image quality and the robust rear screen head the list of likes - normally the rear screen with a hard...
