"Personally right now with the pandemic, my smart phone use has dropped to the point where I won't consider upgrading."

There we agree - I'm keeping my 4 year old SE till next year at least! But...

Depends how you value your time. $1000 works out less than $1 a day over 3 years. The 12 can do 15 hours video playback on one charge, which seems a pretty intensive use case to me at under 7c /...

I can't sleep for worrying about how fast my phone is charging ;-) Seriously, I can't imagine ever using up hours of battery life in one day.

To be fair, there is not a big market for Lumia batteries so there are unlikely to be cheap knock-offs around. If Apple batteries were user replaceable, their reputation would soon go down the...

It's too small a market. The R&D cost that goes into a new iPhone must be getting near a $billion by now.

Simple, it doesn't, unless you are draining it several times a day. 20% in 4 years would be more normal.

Bad news for UFO spotters as there will be no excuse for distant fuzzy blob pics.

My Apple stuff varies from 4 to 6 years old, all still working great and they even squeezed iOS 14 into my minimum spec original iPhone SE. So unless you suddenly need the latest and greatest model...

Agreed, and the large screen is more attractive as one gets more long-sighted with age and are resigned to carrying a shoulder bag! I have ageing iPad mini, old iPhone and a Kindle. I could see it...

Can I get an adapter for my ancient Tamron 500mm mirror lens? The 35mm equivalent would be awesome :-)

It was stated in the presentation. Though if I'm not mistaken, 87% is less than 1 stop.

Reminds me of my Prinz Mastermatic V which I had as a kid. Built-in meter gave a number and you dialed shutter speed and aperture so the same number appeared in a window. Dixons recommended it to...

As others have pointed out, the digital camera market wasn't big enough for Kodak anyway. They probably did the right thing to pull out, as did Minolta, HP and now Olympus. If Kodak had IP on the...

In fairness to CEOs, if you are appointed to turn around a big company that has seen better days, you are expected to show results within 2 years or you're out. As an ex-R&D engineer I know that...

Happy memories of my youth, posting my Kodachrome to Hemel Hempstead in those yellow envelopes, then watching for the postman carrying a yellow box in return!

I went on to work for a couple of, at...

@Petka I can't - if your digital camera can do 14 stops stick with it!

I only use cheap cameras and the dynamic range definitely gets in the way sometimes but I'd rather work around that than go...

High IQ photos are 10 a penny these days but IQ doesn't make or break a good photo. Brush size doesn't define the quality of a painting. If the film look suits the photographer, I can see how it...

Film can be great. I dug out my old colour slides and Kodak Carousel projector a couple of years ago. The lamp looked OK so I crossed my fingers and switched it on. My first reaction was OMG that...

Lovely, natural photos. A bit of fun, a bit of retro provenance, and artistic results. I have no doubt many terabytes of high-res images have been taken in Machu Pichu since then and manipulated in...

Olympus are pulling out of the digital camera market altogether. I suppose it is possible that Tough could become a brand in its own right but even I as a TG-fan have to admit the design has...
