I'll be very surprised if they release one at this IFA exhibition though!

But who knows.

Hmmm you'd think they's play some cartoons or something while we were waiting....

The main thing that gives me pause is the price - for that cost you're well on the way to the cost of a used FF camera, which should give similar results with a cheaper f2.8 zoom like the Tamron 28-75mm.

I get the impression that you were underwhelmed and disinterested in the GR, John. The blog just seems a bit of a lacklustre effort in all regards! I can't help but wonder how things would have been different if someone like PaulyRichard - for whom the GR is a better fit with his shooting style - had been selected as an ambassador.

What is very disturbing is the way everything but the car is blurred. That's very unnatural - there should be a plane of sharp focus where the car is sharp, gradually falling off in front and behind.
Agreed! It looks unnatural.

This is how I would selectively blur the image. The red areas are the sharp in-focus areas. The magenta areas would be slightly blurred. The rest would have the full blur effect.

No. You can upload to Youtube, Vimeo, Flickr etc and share the link. But even then there is no way of 'embedding' video in posts on this website!

Lovely light Nigel, well captured! No. 4 is the absolute standout shot IMHO. I think it's fantastic! The others are slightly lacking of a point of interest for my taste but are nicely taken and I like the 'natural' looking processing.

But I do like MrB's mod!

My experience is same as Gwyn's.

I'm not very technical with computers, so I just see it as the computer reminding me to back-up the files on the hard drive once in a while!

Higher ISO! Also would like lower noise and better DR, but I suspect these things are very inter-related?
