This is a Classified Advert - or supposed to be - please keep to the relevant subject here. There's plenty of space for discussion in the appropriate areas.

This isn't a Classified Ad, more of a speculation, so I'll be moving it into General Chat.

Just going back to the point of reducing margins to increase sales, by and large this does not work. Financially it can be a disaster. You are buying turnover, which is no good. You need profit.

I have seen two companies at least, from close experience, disintegrate through the low margin approach. No point selling things if you don't make a profit on them, you're just kidding yourself.

All this Hi-Fi talk might seem off-topic, but the subject was electronic noise and the same thing plagues transistor amplifiers whether they are audio or photographic.

Now valve amplifiers produce a richer sound, so just maybe our A/D converters should have valve amplifiers....now who said they wanted larger and heavier cameras?

Yet another curiously random coincidence....

It's just an effect and not one I particularly like.

Likewise.

It's a bit reminiscent of the Hi-Fi market, where the specifications don't always relate to how something sounds.

THis is why some English amplifiers don't look good on paper, but sound terrific. Quad would be a good example of this.

We shouldn't lose sight of what our cameras are for.

That's what the classifieds are for, so I guess that's the best place if anyone has anything to sell!

I couldn't possibly comment other than to suggest that a very large whisky might be in order.

I've had a look at that and to be honest I think I could argue that in favour of any of the cameras, depending on which colours, speeds and images I wanted to notice and which I wanted to ignore.

This might mean that the difference at normal ISO ratings is irrelevant and not a problem for any of the cameras.
