Olymore

Actually the accounting scandal ensured that there was an Olympus still around in 2011. The paper losses that were covered up occurred around 1990 when Japan had a huge property bubble and would ...

Yes, a shambles sold on the arrogant view that Europe needs us more than we need it. We'll be seeing a repeat when we come to negotiate individual trade deals with the big countries.

You're not the only one with fingers and toes crossed.

I think it is highly unlikely Olympus will go FF. It is common for Japanese companies to have cross holdings in each other and it doesn't mean anything significant. Global manufacturing means ...

You set the shutter speed and aperture for the values you want for DOF and motion blur etc. You set the iso to auto so that you get the desired brightness in your image. But what if the the scene ...

M43 lenses tell the camera what focal length they're on. This would be a problem with legacy zoom lenses that have no electronic contact with the camera, used via an adapter.

It's ok for a couple of individuals to behave that way but it is ridiculous to think that a publicly listed company could or should behave that way. It is illegal behaviour as the primary ...

Matthew, yes I wouldn't use Billingham (or any other photo bag) for proper hillwalking or mountaineering. Most of the gear I'm carrying then is not photo gear.
However for travel and general...

So you see all these younger men toting around large camera systems ? What I see is older men (mainly) being the only people carrying cameras period. Anybody under thirty five wants to do ...

Most of Ffordes business was through mail order. They are based in an area with a very small population and even Inverness, the nearest city, has only 50 thousand people. The village they are in...

Ffordes are based in the north of Scotland in a small village in a rural area. Crime is pretty rare and you don't need to go much further north to find houses left unlocked and cars with the keys...

I agree, Billingham bags are the complete opposite of what many perceive them to be. They are not only incredibly tough but they are really well designed and have a lot of practical features plus...

When I hike I don't use any dedicated camera bag but a proper outdoor company rucksack mainly loaded with non camera gear. Any cameras and lenses I'm carrying go into pouches that are carried on...

Usually the SCP only appears in the P.A.S and M modes and live control defaults in some other modes, unless  SCP is specifically enabled in the cogs menu for those modes.

Buy a Billingham and not only will your bag last at least 20 years but the same model (with modest tweaks) will still be available when you come to replace it. They're expensive up front but the...

look at pick up truck and large suv sales elsewhere before projecting US behaviour on the rest of the world.

And what major breakthroughs have occurred in m43 in the last two years that justifies introducing a new camera ? The GX9 is a slightly improved GH5. There won't be many people who own the GH5 will ...

Nine out of ten cameras with interchangeable lenses sold are smaller formats than FF. This is a desperate attempt by the camera industry to increase margin but it simply isn't going to work.
For...

I leave two old cameras in the car all the time. I have a Panasonic G3 with Olympus 14-42mm  kit lens in the boot and that has proved reliable despite being knocked around a lot in the 5 years that ...

The issue here is that different people are happy with different aspects of the interface and want to customise the bits they are not happy with.
If everything is customisable then if you like the...
