Were there strange lights outside your house just before this appeared? If yes, then its fallen out of an alien spaceship. If not then you've splayed open one of your clothes pegs when you brought ...

@Boss of Sony - well, it might have taken half a lifetime for the right moment to come along to be able to make that joke - but its worth it!

In the last reply in Part 1, Phil A Martin wrote: It would be nice if one of our more wealthy patrons gave him a hand and donated some of their surplus kit. Believe it or not, this HAS happened ...

Wow - so much vitriol/childish arguments/churlish behaviour in the comments section.
Just waiting now for lots of replies stating something along the lines of: "so you didn't like the comments,...

Yep - that's always going to be a problem unfortunately. About 10 years a go we had some of our family VHS home made videos from the 1980's transferred to DVD. But even that's old hat now. Hadn't ...

Yes, I have a couple of cameras - the Olympus E-M1 Mark1 and an EPL-6. Plus a selection of lenses - so reasonably well kitted out for general stills photography. Good way of putting it! I've got ...

Thank you - I will try other settings and compressions. I think I need to familiarise myself with the basics first just to get the feel of things and accept the fact that video clips really do ...

...May they all succeed so in 10 years we still have stuff to talk about here on DPreview.

...And to continue taking photos too, don't forget! 😊

@aris14: I'll remind you of your quote 10 years from now, when you're using the technique yourself - and liking it!

Technique still in infancy. Will improve over time.

😲 I am genuinely shocked to hear about this third party battery issue!! In fact, this is the first time I've learnt of it! I've been using Olympus equipment since 2004 - and as their own branded...

If I understand correctly, this machine processes your film and gives you the negatives? But then you have to scan the negatives yourself to generate a digital file for further processing/printing?

erm...OK...a watch is basically a thingy you look at to ascertain the time instantly without having to take out your "smart"phone first, then unlocking the screen and typing in the PIN or...

For someone who has plenty of time on his hands (I'm talking about me), and enjoys reading anything off the beaten track - even I have to admit the inclusion of this article in Dpreview as being...

hmm...are you sure? Because it was our shared love of watches, cameras and science fiction that brought me and my girlfriend (now wife) together...so you'll need to re-evaluate your data, or...

Creativity is inversely proportional to subject matter.

As the others have said, this is very enjoyable article that provides a bit of context of the period with regards to other technological/engineering developments happening at the time. And for once...
