Yes Sugasmune, smartphones are a bit rubbish really.  I've decided that the only proper way to take photographs is like Ansel Adams did - some of the best images of all time.  All I need is a full ...

I don't think the RX100 is really a 'point and shoot'.  I have the M2.  If you leave it to its own devices on auto it slows the shutter to 1/30 before it adjusts the iso.  That isn't good in all ...

As above, there are loads about.  Mine is decent quality, no swivel, branded Ulanzi as is the little tripod it normally sits on. If you are not too bothered about quality for an old phone you can ...

I had a Palm 111X , must have been 1998 ish.  I also had the very small palmpix camera that clipped on the bottom and used the same connectors as the cradle.  Made by Kodak, took high def 640x480 ...

I haven't carried my DSLR on a trip like that for years:  there is a great joy in having an RX100 in your pocket and no other burden.  I sometimes think the RX100 is unnecessary and just take my ...

Good to know, not clear from your original post so no need to be dismissive of a helpful reply. The algorithm will make sure that even the least competent user will get  a useable image.    It's ...

My default position is yes, it is all marketing and deception :)   I rarely buy any new stuff unless the old is broken or becomes unreliable beyond repair.

It's a good question, but the real question is does any of this matter?  Aside from a few specialist needs like medical photography, we appreciate and judge images subjectively.  I've gone past ...

One substantial reason to buy the RX100 series is the size - as a trade off you compromise handling and control size.   That being so, why clutter it up with anything,   It fits in a pocket, ...

Of course none of this matters.  What matters is the quality of the image, not how it is achieved.  I only posted my first reply because I don't like 'bad science' - drawing general conclusions ...

You can't draw that conclusion from a single simple test with a subjective comparsion of 2 images. Its a bit like saying "I didn't get hit by a truck today so that means people don't get hit by ...

Unless anyone wants to make an offer for my Weston Master Mk2, 1950-something :) (not really, not used it for years but keeping it 'just in case')

Yes there are worse things. But why add to the pile of non reusable plastic? Suppose you get arrested for stealing: "but that other guy stole more" isn't a persuasive defence. It might not be a...

When most of the industrialised world is looking to reduce waste and particularly plastic waste - along comes Kodak with this.

"Some time to explore" is s good way to put it.  You can be up and running very quickly, Android has so many ways to customise and to make it do exactly what you want can take a while.  Several ...

I think Huawei did drive camera standards up in the mid-price phones, from the P10 onwards really.   I suspect there was a commercial reason to ban access to google and some chips - they were ...

Yes easily. You can get normally get google calendar, contacts, gallery to talk to the apple equivalents, and you can download a launcher (a sort of GUI) which gives the android phone close to the ...

Ages (years) since I tried but I think I used VLC media player (freeware), camera plugged in as a mass storage device (windows) then found the AVCHD files by navigating to them and converted to ...

Repair pricing from official manufacturers services are designed to make you buy a new camera. Certainly at the consumer level, if a repair is £200 and a camera £300 most people will go for the ...

I've never worried about camera compatibility with any computer operating system nor have I installed any specific camera manufacturers software.  The camera stores the pictures on an SD card - so ...
