    Serious 1" sensor cameras

    I have been forced to dispose of my interchangeable lens cameras of all sensor sizes following serious spinal surgery. I just am no longer able to carry the weight of even a 4/3rds sensor camera. However I have joined the ranks of so called bridge camera users and I am currently waiting for...

    Sony RX10iv

    The Mk 4 version of this phenomenal 1", 24-600mm Zeiss lens camera has a really excellent specification. See this hands on review here: Sony RX10 Mark IV review-so-far - | Cameralabs

    Sony RX10iii raw images

    All my other cameras raw images allow me to 'develop' them in PS6. Unfortunately PS6 no longer updates the raw images to the latest cameras, unless I subscribe to the program when I can download it when I need. I have no intention of doing this as I paid for my PS6 long ago! What raw converter...

    Panasonic fz1000 replacement?

    A replacement for the FZ 1000 is strongly rumoured. The timing is delayed apparently due to recent earthquakes in Japan which has also affected other new camera releases from Nikon etc. Will it be the Fz2000? It will be very timely to compete with the new Sony Rx10mk3 at 24-600 and Nikon...

    Sony RX10Mk3

    Anyone taken a look at this bridge camera yet? It gets a good review in the current recent Amateur Photographer magazine. With the 1" sensor and Zeiss high quality 24-600 equivalent zoom lens they reckon it is a very viable equivalent to a DSLR. At £1249 launch price it should be!

    Fun with the mZuiko 2.8/7-14 Pro lens

    I shot this scene as a test shot within hours of getting the lens. It is as it came from camera, no cropping and is just a mundane test shot of three of my ten grandchildren watching TV at home. The light was appalling as it was late evening and the room lights came on automatically when light...

    mZuiko 14-150 mkll lens

    I wonder if anyone else here has tried the new 14-150 Mk ll lens yet. Whilst it is not quite in the same league as the Pro lenses at a starting aperture of just F4, it is weatherproof and like the Pro lenses it ships with a lens hood! :thumbup: I used the older 14-150 for many years and found...

    New Leica DLux type 109

    A (better?) clone of the recent Panasonic compact using m4/3 sensor and PanaLeica 24-75 equiv fast lens at £825 in the UK. Could this be the long awaited replacement for the much loved but well obsolete Leica D2, itself a better clone of the Panasonic LC1 with 2/3 thirds sensor of over 10 years...

    Converters for m4/3 sytems

    Does anyone know of any good converters (1.4 or 2.0) for the Olympus or Panasonic m4/3 systems? Do they exist? Can they even work with mirrorless systems? :lecture:

    More on the X-T1

    Pre-orders now being taken in the UK and this first dealer appraisal:Fuji X-T1: New X-series CSC plus hands-on review | Wex Photographic This looks like it is aimed at gaining from the success of Olympus and Panasonic's mFT camera systems, or at least for easier use of larger telephoto lenses.

    Olympus OM-DM-E1 ??

    Is this the shape of the OMD E-M5 replacement? There is a lot of internet traffic on this and the other new Oly cameras due for launch in September. Olympus UK have announced the week starting 15th September for Olympus days in many venues through the UK. Is this Olympus OM-D E-M1? - Blog for...

    VF-4 on the E-M5

    Today, I purchased the latest VF-4 electronic viewfinder for use with my OM-D's E-M5 and the 60mm macro. I want to place the camera very low or on the ground to get shots of bugs etc and swivel the viewfinder so that I can focus and compose by looking down. I can't easily lay on my stomach any...

    OMD and action photography

    Some great windsurfing shots here from an equally great OMD photographer. He certainly put's a lie to the OMD being incapable of taking action shots! Brian Wadie's Images from Nature The secret apparently is: * Good light * Ibis set 1 * CFC autofocus set to 4fps Most of all, knowledge of...

    Olympus OMD-v-Leica MM

    Another new OMD owner

    If you can'y beat 'em, join 'em! I recognise a few names and avatars here. So yes I got my new all black OMD with 12-50 lens yesterday following a phone call from my local LCE who were also able to sell me a spare battery! I soon had the batteries charged, menus all sorted and the cam set up...
