Mine has just arrived

It was indeed the DA*16-50

Unfortunately I am no longer so young, I am the one behind the camera lol

Or just lie, I find that works

I do wonder how many people actually use the in camera photo editing, I cannot envisage ever using it myself. I actually have no idea what face recognition does (fact), I have always managed to recognise them by myself perhaps someone could enlighten me.

I suppose a lot of these features though are what the marketing department feel they need to include to compete in the market place.
However in the higher end cameras I can't see much need for 'point and shoot' type technology.

However it is perhaps justified at the entry level dslr's to sway the floating buyer away from their compact / bridge camera.

Thanks for the comments, the next trip we are going to attempt to photograph a massive stoped out working, lighting that will be a challenge.

Incidentally, and going off on a bit of a tangent, below are 2 short videos of some other mine exploration we are doing. Nothing great but it may interest the odd person.

Cheers
Steve

I would simply like a built in stopwatch for the Bulb setting

£745 I can live with

Thank you
It is quite difficult to compose the shot, because of course you can see nothing through the viewfinder, fortunately with DSLR's the preview screen allows you take a shot and view it, recompose and alter the lighting. It took rather a lot of attempts to get it right.

There will be more

Just seen the 60-250 listed at £1088 for 20 jan delivery.

I am assuming (hoping) they will be cheaper elsewhere.

How do you check which version of firmware you already have?
