It would be very confusing if everybody started to do this especially with well know landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, Houses of Parliament etc. It would quickly give photography a bad name.

How would you feel if you thought you'd bought a house on the sunny side of the street

I remember in the 70's that there was a lot of advice floating around not to holiday in the North of Tenerife, because it was usually clouded, so travel companies started turning the brochure maps upside down so people thought they were booking a holiday in the South

A tripod is a lot more than just three legs

The general rule of thumb about heads is the more expensive the camera the less you spend on a ball head Think about the future and buy a £10 one now that should be future-proof for any camera up to £2,000

My camera didn't cost much (K5) so I tend to go for something that comes out well in tests...... I like the look of the Tiltall BH-07

Considering all the negative posts they get on Pentax friendly forums, I am surprised that Ricoh haven't already thrown in the towel

They need to attract some Apple fanbuoy types!

There is a PS pluggin or standalone program Better JPEG that corrects some Jpg artifacts on import and just saves the blocks that have been edited on re-save. Costs $30 each.

Didn't the Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band do a song called 'Death Knell for Pentax'

Or......... Am I getting mixed up with 'Death Cab for Cutie'

I bet that camera is in 'MINT' Condition. It's the poor Ipod Mini photo that's making it look like something the cat dragged in

Nice model to own

My favourite lens tester has done a test of this lens on a Canon 6D
I don't know why other people can't manage similar tests and be so straight to the point.

Actual test results are from about 3 min 20 sec...
