The issue being raised in the first post was the price of *acquiring* a camera and not actually a complaint about the loss when selling one.

I just carry some plastic bags, high absorbant material cloths, and microfibre cloths. I have lens hoods for all my lenses which helps a bit to keep rain off the front glass. If it gets too bad ...

I think there are several factors at work. Dropping sales volumes have meant that manufacturers look to higher margins so prices are held. Slower model release cycles has stabilised the market. ...

I waited to take a look at the E-M10-iii and decided to order a E-M10-ii. If 4K video was important I would have considered the G80/G85 or possibly the GX8. I don't see the E-M10-ii (or iii for ...

Canon are doing just enough - and no more because they don't want to hurt their DSLR market. APS-C mirrorless is just a sideline. You'll know when the tipping point for Canon has been reached when ...

I don't reckon I ever get less than 50 to 60 - and regularly get 80 to 85. I think usage patterns make the perception of this 'problem' vary a lot. I don't think the DPQs have that great a ...

If I'm going out to shoot landscapes or urban or specific subjects in daytime or with a tripod then my Sigmas are first choice and the majority of shots will be from them. Night or low light stuff ...

The eternal question ..... I agonised over this a few months ago and went for the 17mm F1.8. The wider FOV and the reputedly faster focusing were the deciding factors - offseting the lower local ...

16 to 20 is hardly a difference. And of those 16 or 20Mp sensor pixels each of your apparent image 'pixels' is a processed average of the adjacent raw pixels on a bayer sensor. I suspect that if ...

I've seen similar issues with my DP1M a few months ago. I initially thought it was a bad memory card. But after switching memory cards it appeared again. I suspected maybe a bad battery so I put ...

I think the GM family suffered from being seen as a secondary camera and it also went unnoticed by many who might have benefitted from it. It also wasn't cheap. I came to the GM late - just as they ...

Very pocketable. But the 9mm bodycap is a bit quirky. More distortion than a a regular 8mm but not as much as a real fisheye. There are just the three actual stop positions - the lever can be used ...

I have a Canon Pro-10S. Not cheap to run. It's a luxury. It takes up quite a bit of space. But I prefer printing at home. I love the output. I like being able to proof my own small prints before ...

I put my tripod into my checked-in baggage. Regardless of what the airline allow or don't allow the security at the airports in different countries make their own decision about what they allow to ...

If you are worried about carts for obsolete Pixma Pro models then look at the availability for older Canon models - as an example last time I looked the carts for the 9500 were available. Epson ...

The last time I looked the Pixma Pro was 100V to 240V. UK supply is nominally 230V. Many devices these days use switch mode power supplies that can handle the likes of 110V or 230V. I don't think ...

I think that's the kicker with the 12-32. It's only F3.5 wide open and the maximum aperture gets smaller as the lens zooms. Personally, I haven't really felt that the OIS is that effective I've ...

I think the 9mm is fine for what it is as long as you are aware of its limitations. I think of it as a distorted WA lens rather than a fisheye. Pros: (1) It's small and lightweight. Easy to travel ...

I had the chance to play with some A7RII raw shots in Lighroom a couple of months ago. They were very good. I'd say a bit better than a Merrill in terms of detail and much better in terms of ...

I think that's probably the primary motivation for Fstoppers as well - video. And at the end of the day the prices will be pushed to what Panasonic and Olympus think the market will bear - and with ...
