Actually Tom, since you seem to be in the middle - give or take - between Sydney and Brisbane, maybe you could give us a hint as to where we should stop over, given a 2-3 day stint between the two ...

Upping the service level is a true paradigm shift. My experience about it comes from 25 years with a major Canadian cable company which went in a few years from TV distribution (best-effort kind ...

True; just not so sure Panasonic can. In all the years they have been into µ4/3, they never thought decent repair service could be needed and they still show more interest in vacuum cleaners than ...

Err, actually, the GX85 sensor is indeed 16 Mp while the GX9 is 20 . Better check your data before acting smug...

Maybe you should mention what version of the 100-300 you have tried? The MkII is a huge update on the original and should perform almost as well as the $$$ 50-200, optical quality aside. Also, ...

Still, pretty close. Maybe the prairies are not as barren as most of the Oz Outback but boy can it be dull after a few hours... Also, just as in Oz, most of the population is concentrated in a few ...

I can appreciate that. The plague out here is mostly squirrels - much less impressive than roos in my mind - but you should see the European tourist gawking and taking pictures of the bloody ...

The west, humph! Try out fall in Québec (early Octobre) when all the maple leaves are turning red and gold, when the canada geese are starting their migration down south and when the air is so ...

To all who responded to my original post; I must say I posted this "vacation question" hoping for about a dozen responses at best. Your generosity is very appreciated and I will be sure to take all ...

Yeah well, flies and mosquitoes is another thing that Canadians and Australians have in common... :-(

I'll make sure to review my Men at Work songs and Aussie slang before getting to "dop bear prone areas"...

:-D

Yeah, I heard about that; contagious cancer. Poor devils... I'm looking forward to a good pic of a drop bear; I hear they are somewhat rare. :-D

Next trip...

I sure hope there are not too many of those "No Kodak moments"; the whole idea being to take as many pictures of the thing my memory card would allow...

7 tonnes? The guy must have thought the whole things is a hollow prop...

Possibly, but my idea of a tasmanian devil makes the real critter rather disappointing...

The funny thing is, Montréal is in much the same situation: Trams have gone in the 50's (but not all the tracks since you can still feel the presence of some beneath the pavement) and not a day ...

Hi folks and especially  G'day mate to all Aussies out there! My wife and I are planning a one month trip down under from mid Octobre to mid Novembre. The general idea is : (1) 5 nights in Sydney

Do you actually take pictures or just buy stuff?
