I think what happens - and what I always suspected not just about about film photography but vinyl records, mechanical watches, vintage cars, etc etc - is that its the mystique, the adventure,...

Well your friend is the sort of person for whom the phone is a better choice. "Parenting, working, cooking, cleaning" no time to think. No time learn. No time or wish to edit or "do anything...

Very sad news, but we should have seen it coming. Ever since the launch of the OMD EM1X I wondered if "the lunatics have taken over the asylum". But before that, every stroke of genius at Olympus...

Well we are comparing design style here, obviously the technology inside moves with the times whatever shape of box its put into. The 'pistol grip' style of camera beats the phone style for...

You can tell the K-01 was not designed by a camera enthusiast but by an industrial designer who approached it with a totally fresh eye. But he was stuck with the fatal fallacy of the concept, a...

The Canon TX1 actually is a very good design format, its just that it did not catch on and too many people have this herd mentality that means one form factor dominates the market. The 'pistol...

Surprised no mention of checking the background from the camera's viewpoint - mirrors generally a no-no; TV or framed pictures with glass giving odd reflections; walls best white or pale neutral if...

Tempted many times to buy an old film SLR on eBay, for nostalgias sake, but I kinda know it would not get used. I wonder if Pentax would ever have gone 'small' if they had not been trounced in...

Love it, the way it invites you in. Could be from any time in the last 70 years (except for the Irish Coffee and Cappuccino maybe). Imagine Edith Piaf sitting at one of those tables smoking a...

"how about Pentax make an MFT camera"..... well how about Pentax revive the Q system first and foremost? I have three Q cameras, love them. I'm not expecting a huge range of lenses, though the...

Depends. Feel free to gift me some nice prints of Don McCullin's work. I won't be offended, really.

One of the best DPR advice pieces EVER. Just so true, and extends into so may other walks of life. I always wondered... do Canon get a royalty off these, or sponsor them as a marketing gimmick? I...

I remember in an early episode of Twin Peaks a suspect was identified by a reflection in the glasses (or was it eye?) of a person in a photograph. I thought it was daft when I originally watched...

It does seem silly, Pentax need all the sales they can get so why put obstacles in the way unless demand is outstripping supply?
