Samsung GX-20 Body £400 New from a Reputable Dealer
I went into Preston, Lancs. today to get one of the Pentax grips from Jessops. Had I called in Wilkinson's first I would have bought a GX-20 body instead for £400 (they also have GX-10's in stock). Not really worth me bothering now it would cost £130 for the Samsung grip which brings the price back ...

Samsung GX-20 Body £400 New from a Reputable Dealer
Hi shim, just had a look at the site, those are great prices for the Gx20, wouldn't mind one myself but need a good macro lens first. Had a look on Bestcameras site, I see the price of the 55-300 has gone up £40(now £239.99) Tried to get a price for the Sigma 105 macro from them but they haven't bot...

Samsung GX-20 Body £400 New from a Reputable Dealer
[quote:3496ace15f="GX10Cliff"] Bestcamera's are local but nothing like they were years ago when Ken and Keith were there. The 55-300mm is OK but hasn't got an aperture ring which rules out using it with simpler converters. Manual focus is difficult on it as well, it's quite sharp though. Would...

Samsung GX-20 Body £400 New from a Reputable Dealer
Known Harry for years from when he used to be a manager for Hargreaves. I think he left when they went computerised because he didn't like them. Bought quite a bit from Keith and Paul. Keith used to use Pentax, when he worked with Ken and must have sent back about ten 50mm f/1.4's at one point befo...

Samsung GX-20 Body £400 New from a Reputable Dealer
Just for everyone's information, I've just come off the phone to Wilkinsons who are out of stock of the GX20, and won't be getting any more in as it's discontinued! Makes me wonder about (a) what its replacement will be, and (b) the future of the K20D? According to a Samsung spokesman in AP a fe...

Matt, I first used an Apple in college back in the late 80's, and have purchased a few since then. I'm running a G5, that, although a year or two old, still suits my needs, although I do fancy one of the new 24" models :-) I have been using PC's for work since my college days, mostly in eng...

Matt, I can not praise my Mac enough. I work on windows machines all day and get fed up of the blue screens and all the other driver, bug fix issues. I have had my macbook for nearly 3 years now, never had a virus, never had to reinstall, never crashes even with iTunes and CS3 running. It starts ...

Mac and image editing
The only thing which is holding me back for a Mac is still the pricetag. If I take a Mac with comparable hardware the price would be about 4x of that what I payed. I know that you can't compare it directly, but because it is coming out of my wallet I can compare it. I build a PC myself (easily d...

a mac user for 2 years now and like many mac users i would never go back to windows full time. I do however run a virtual XP from within the mac using VMWare, so i get the best of both. I recommend you make sure your desktop mac gets at least 4 gigs of ram, but don't upgrade the ram via apple as th...

I did find whilst browsing today, will download the demo when I get home and let you know. Please do. I may give that a go as well. Thanks for the link. If I can dump Windows and Microsoft products altogether, I'd be quite pleased. I effectively did so 2 years ago (still have a Windoze dual boot...

getting rid of cage lines
Best bet is not to get them in the first place and that takes a bit of technical expertise and a bit of practice, get as close to the fence with the lens as you can and keep the aperture as wide as possible bearing in mind the lens in use and the amount of DoF you want to achieve. The longer the ...

getting rid of cage lines
Just add someting to Alan (impotentspider) comment. It also depends on were the subject is, the closer it is to the fence the closer it is to the focus point. When the tiger is walking at the rear of the cage you might as well use f/8 but if it's only a meter from the fence f/2.8 might even not...

Organising tips
Hi chaps - I just wanted to ask this community what their approaches are to organising their pictures. For me, physical storage is'nt a problem, I just think I need a far better way to arrange everything. At the moment I pile my pictures together, still keeping them in their relevant date stamped...

Bargain of the millenium so far?
Kris, You've made me worry I've overpaid now! I was hoping to pick it up for about £500 and then sell the body to get a little bit back but I decided with it being for a charity I would go a bit higher. I think I'll be selling on a couple of other things to pay for it though. Richard (d00d0c)

a philosophical question?
There are times when the two complement each other. I went to New Zealand a few years back, and wanted a small, lightweight, 'all-in-one' camera for the trip, so I bought a C**** S3 IS. It was absolutely ideal for the purpose I bought it for.

K7 sensor shift
I actually thought that was one of the more useful (potential) features. Getting the camera in exactly the right spot on a tripod for 1:1 macros is a right pain and to be able to tweak it a little in camera would be helpful. I might just buy a focus rail instead though, it would be a little cheape...
