I tend to agree with the hot cakes.

One example, my eldest (1 has been brought up in an SLR/DSLR environment. At one point, he was using a Dimage Z1. He was keen on photography so I gave him my istD, 18-55 and an 80-320. He used it twice. He said it was too much to carry about.

He bought a Sony T series point and shoot for convenience.

I think that serious photographers are the only people who give thought to equipment and results from that equipment. We are very few and far between in the lager picture and do not really contribute to the manufacturers profits as we tend to hang on to kit and change is infrequent to us.

There must be many more times the number of customers for this type of camera than for DSLR's. It's a halfway house for those that don't want a bulky SLR but can brag about being able to change lenses on a compact.

It's these sorts of products that normally sell well as Olympus have already proven.

Only a point of view and just think that it's always worth a look to see what the other camps are offering.

New & interesting models by Sony.

If they get IQ sorted (Sony not up there with Pentax), I think these will sell.

No. 2 for me Kris. Rhino of a shot.

Believe it or not, all our daffs are done......in. I had to pull off the dead petals from this one.

Not soggy, but your right, it looks soggy.

After seeing some wonderful images here with dew and water spray I grabbed a spray bottle and caught this dewlip???




Nothing special, but different for me as all my flower shots have been dry.

Only had the 16-50 on the K7.

This framework was right alongside a barbed wire fence (attached) and I did not want to go into the field.







It's worth a trip back as it's close to home, when the weather breaks!

I took several shots of this old barn frame, it was just one of those stark, contrasting, structures.

Does it work, is it cluttered?




C&C please

Getting to a shoot to find that you have not formatted the card, which is nearly full and being clueless as to whether or not you backed it up?

Happened to me regularly in my early days of digital when I only had a single card for the camera.

Only if its a Maxum 7.
