Welcome to the forum. The Q-S1 and its siblings are pretty handy travel companions in this day and age where airline weight limits have to be considered on trips abroad.

Does this help?

Useful to know thanks.

The Costco prices and diversity of services look quite good, but while it seems one can place an order online, it appears the prints have to be collected from one of their branches. Seems they're City Centric, so OK if they're close to you but for me the nearest would be a 140 mile round trip! Hope it works better for others if they require the service (unless they would post them out.)

We've got a Max Spielman locally but their prices are at least double those of Costco and they don't offer such a broad range of services. Boots also provide a service with prices closer to Costco. I can't vouch for the quality of any of them as I just use my Pixma.

I was about to buy a Ricoh Aficio printer as it uses gel inks or dye sub inks only to discover they've recently discontinued it so can't 'do' brand loyalty. While I could probably find one in stock somewhere I feel it might shortly become a white elephant when the ink supply literally dries up. In any event, they're not really photo printers so results may be inconsistent. Notwithstanding, if it wasn't discontinued I would no doubt have bit the bullet and got one.

I just did, so presumably I can say it!
I've always preferred the cameras being as compact at possible and have laughed at some of those monster Canikons often seen on news bulletins. That's what made me an ME fan, I could carrry two of those quite easily. Unfortunately one got stolen along with my K 20mm and a Tamron 70-150 and a few other bits. I'd accidentally dinged the camera top plate and had a replacement on order to be fitted after that holiday so that never happened. I don't really miss that ME, just the K 20mm. It's out there somewhere and its stolen property!

I've never used grips and can't say I've missed not having one.

Surely that's to be expected. Use a slower rate instead. If its for water shots it won't really make much difference.

Wasn't £180 for a £600 lens being a bit hopeful? Reckon it might have got to £300ish if you'd bidded more. You were certainly snipped there at the last moment. Generally its best not to show your hand too soon to avoid a bidding war, hence why people snipe them.

It saves each exposure onto the memory card and uses them all to create the composite. It doesn't hold them in onboard memory.
The multi exposures will give the effect of a longer exposure.

There's a reset in the menus: spanner mode page 4, Reset.
There's also a reset custom functions: C mode page 4.
