Do I detect a sense of pride in how little we use our mobile phones?

Think it's an age thing Tim...

... So information on the right hand side of your vision as you see it (hitting the left side of the eye) is processed by the right side of your brain and vice versa?

I remember reading recently about a young girl who had both sides of her brain severed to control really severe epilepsy. Presumably this will have some effect on visual perception?

If it's because the buffer is full and it's writing to the card, the last thing you want to do is remove the battery - you may lose your shots. If its something else you'll need to contact your dealer. I have seen similar issues on the other forum.

£20/month. Mainly use it for texting and internet, and a few calls per week. Haven't had a landline for about 6 years, most of that time I was living on a boat. I don't see the point of a landline now, my pc internet is also mobile.

Nice use of that wall to confuse the sense of scale in these images Paul! The second shot made me smile because the Abbey looks like it might be about 10 feet high! But I like the first shot better.

OTOH a subte purple hue is quite nice (and easily removable if you don't like it). I got some Kood ones, seem fine, mind you I rarely use them! Thank God I didn't buy really expensive ones.... ;P

1-3 are very nice. 4 & 5 add another dimension with the layering effect of the reflections. Hats off!

This is probably fair if you are expecting Kubrick-quality from your video shooting! However I doubt the f4 lens Roy is talking about is of such shallow DOF that you could tell whether both eyes are in focus let alone the front and back of someone's eye... The subject's face being acceptably in focus is probably going to be enough!

no, it won't, because the resolution of the rear screen becomes the limiting factor and it's only 920k dots. So that's 300k pix - meaning we're talking about 200x150 real life res. Which is pathetic.

Alternative? arm and 10" TFT in native 1024x576 res (set the HDMI output in the menus to 576p).

Maybe that's a bit over the top Brett, and the OP talked about the problem of light on the screen, not the screen's resolution being enough. I think the screen is *just* good enough to focus by, particularly with a long lens. It wouldn't be acceptable for stills, but HD video is lower resolution so focus isn't quite as critical IMO.

I think once it has kicked in the SR works very well, it's just that half second when it starts up I think. Using SR in video mode or live view (where it is always 'on') you can really see how movement is dampened, and it has never caused an issue in Live View.
