Sorry Pentax - Switching to Nikon
It's deja vu all over again.....:( Unless you're shooting action I don't see any point in changing systems. I had to laugh when I told an old pro I met in Melbourne recently that the AF on my K5 wasn't working (thanks to Johnsons for fixing the lens release and returning a manual focus camera). H...

Sorry Pentax - Switching to Nikon
As for focus points nearly all the top studio photographers use centre point and decompose! Oo-er mister ! Thank God I'm not into studio portraiture ! And I won't be using centre-point any more either just in case !

Sorry Pentax - Switching to Nikon
If pentax doesn't do what you want then change systems. It really is that easy. The trouble is, it really isn't. I can't afford two systems, I love nearly everything about Pentax, except the AF for aviation shots, which is my favourite type of photography. So my choices are to wait for improved ...

Advice / comments
I have been asked to photograh a large running event this weekend and am currently in discussions over the exact requirements. This will be a paid job. The initial brief I've been given is... 'the focus would be more on capturing the essence of the event rather than just the runners..... for...

An Optimistic Seller
It's already been through ebay several times :shock: Possibly people have bought it and found that on delivery it's not as good as it looks in the picture, so they put it back on ebay :shock: It's what's known as an "Auction Case"..... spends all it's life passing through auctions just like...

An Optimistic Seller
We used to have an old TLR camera at ADAPS that people kept bringing back on Auction Night. It disappeared from public view when someone actually kept it to use.

I'd just like to move this thread back up for those who were not able to see it today due to work commitments.

Crisis of confidence
Well, nearly, anyway. Now, before I start, I'm not posting this to have my ego polished :wink: . A friend of mine who likes taking family snaps, decided to buy himself a DSLR after seeing mine. Although, he went with Nikon. A few months on he has decided to sign himself up for a BTEC photograph...

Crisis of confidence
I did a night school photography class a couple of years back, it had no paper qualification at the end so it was just for fun. There are many things I would not have tried if it was not for being on the course, but because it was part of the course I had a go. For instance getting up on a cold we...

Crisis of confidence
I also had that crisis of confidence some while back, but decided it's not the techical aspects of photography that's a problem for me, it's the creative, artistic, side. My (partial) solution was to sign up for photography days run by professional garden togs at RHS Wisley and Kew, both of which...

Goint to Porthmadog (Wales)
How long did you say you are staying there ? There is so much to see (and photograph) you could spend months there and still be wanting to stay longer ! It is so easy to get off the main roads onto the small 'mountain roads' where the views are spectacular. If you promise me that you have a stati...

Software
gimp is free, but if you want elements, go look at a graphics tablet and pen... wacom often bundles elements with thier tablets for little more than the cost of buying elements by itself... and once you edit with a pen, you'll never go back to a mouse.

What do you value more . . . your camera or your mobile phone?
Ahoy! Well, I've yet to get a definitive answer to the title, but what does your mobile phone have in it's menu that you very expensive camera does not? Answer . . a security key code. Now call me old fashioned and I'm not techno-minded, but it puzzles me why a security entry function isn't...

What do you value more . . . your camera or your mobile phone?
Having reconsidered the question - in theory, it is a sound idea. It's just that I see it as unworkable. If I were to design such a feature into a camera, two security methods I'd consider (which would be major inconveniences) are: (1) as described above, an alpha-numeric security code, entered v...

What do you value more . . . your camera or your mobile phone?
The only mobile I've ever had a use for the PIN code on was because it's VERY poorly designed on switch. To be honest removing the battery was probably a better option anyway. I've also has a car with a PIN code. That whent in for a service & came back with the code rest to the factory default. ...

This reminds me of having an Arriflex 16BL [link=http://www.filmprojectors.eu/Showpic.asp?card=images/Arriflex 16bl.jpg]link[/link]stolen from the car in Edinburgh (yes, there are bad people in Edinburgh) and we got it back in under an hour. The thief tried to sell it in Dixons on Princes St and whe...

Pentax x-5 ??
I've been asked for some camera advice by a friend who's just about to go live in Australia for 6 months. She wants to buy a decent P&S camera to record her adventures and send images back to her parents etc. She has a budget of around £200. I was wondering about recommending the new Pentax x-...

R2400 just died!
Just printed off something for the Boy, nothing special a few low res images on a sheet of A4. There were lines in the print, not a problem. But as it was booted up I ran the cleaning cycle, it needed to be ran twice which isn't unusual. It couldn't complete the 2nd cycle as it said there wasn't eno...

I might be tempted back up to the Lakes at some point.... Have to make sure Nicky doesn't mind though as I've been in the bad books for ignoring her and spending too much time on photography! Cheers David:D
