I have  colleague who has just been diagnosed with gout and he's tee total !! It looks like tomatoes set his off so you may be safe to drink beer after all .

Pretty much all lenses will be improved by a higher MP count. The better the lens the greater the improvement. It won't make any of them worse.

I think the issue with Olympus is not how the menus are organised but how the manual is organised. Trying to find out what an unfamiliar menu item actually does is usually an exercise in frustration. ...

Two to three years is NOT a long time to wait for most camera buyers. Especially considering Olympus  recently released new versions of the EM-1 and EM-5. It may be a long time to wait for many of ...

There are 10 types of people. Those that understand binary and those that don't. Beware of Geeks bearing Gifs

Olympus plan to market a range of hair shirts to their users. They've been reading  DPReview  and think they'll recover their losses.

Equivalence is only relevant if you're comparing different formats. If you have one format with you when about to take a photograph why would you care about equivalence ? What you care about is ...

The way to preserve li-ion batteries is to keep them charged from around 40% to 80% capacity. Keeping them fully charged and keeping little charge in them causes them to deteriorate more rapidly. O ...

Firstly, have you seen the exchange rate. The dollar is worth fluctuating around a range 75 pence to 85  pence. And yes, it is not just VAT. It is also higher minimum wages   employer National ...
