Three at least.

We can't really guess what is wrong, but a good start is to try new batteries. Sometimes if batteries are weak cameras will lock up.

Failing that, it's back to Asahi Photo, Harrow Technical or Newton Ellis and the like for a quote. JPS only do the digital cameras.

Don't forget studio flash as well. Often f/8 is not a small enough aperture.

Too many temptations are being offered!

Regardless of what you think about the aesthetics of the K-01 I don't find anything inelegant about its design. Bear in mind I'm talking about function - cameras are for taking images, not looking at!

I've removed the "645D" in this quote, after which we could substitute any other make of FF camera. The argument would be the same, surely?

We stray from the subject, but "better" and "incontrovertible truth" can be unravelled because of all sorts of other factors. There are circumstances where a Q is better than any FF camera.....

No need for a fireproof suit, but isn't the whole point that the results are exactly what you could get from a decent DSLR? The fact that for the first time you can really achieve that from a compact camera is the remarkable and unique benefit.

What are you talking about Horst? As far as I know, nobody has said any such things?
