I doubt it'll stay at £26 for long Ted. It's essentially the same 6mp non-SR camera as the DL2, when all's said and done.

Or they could just make BETTER compacts! The last few seemed a bit better but don't really look like a coordinated range. Three completely different looking cameras, but with very similar spec (apart from waterproofing).

Talking of waterproofing, I think the idea of a waterproof interchangeable lens evil camera with hd video is great! Especially if there's a k-mount adapter for it

Are you our first UK member with a 645d Michael? Look forward to seeing some shots that show off that medium format 'look'. I was browsing some mf shots on flickr the other day. The three-dimensionality of some of the shots was amazing, made things appear miniature somehow!

There is no definition of what a photo should look like. Photography is a means not an end. We can all have our own tastes and preferences but you might as well say a painting should look like a painting. And photography is even more diverse than that artform.

That Miksang group is interesting, and I love that style of photography. But they are making very conscious choices about how they represent 'the world out there' through the way they frame their shots, what they focus on, the sorts of subjects they choose. So the 'reality' they represent is also highly mediated, just in a different way. A more thoughtful way IMHO.

Interesting... for me, the camera (and post processing) are just tools allowing me to communicate what I saw. The camera is just a light collecting box, it takes a mind to "see" an image that resonates.

However I do agree that the over zealous tidying up, cloning and enhancement of images as pushed by the magazines are a bit crass... but i don't think there's a problem with any of those techniques, just the lack of subtlety in which they are applied!

After you do a search, it's one of the options which come up on the left hand side of the page. Just click on the box that says 'show completed listings'.

Well it's a bit of fun because it knocks AA off his pedestal a bit while making people think twice about what they summarily dismiss (or give the nod to) on PP.

Of course he was the master craftsman of photography, from thinking out the image, taking it, and realising its potential in the darkroom. I'm sure the wags over on the other forum wouldn't dispute that.
