Was he in Baywatch?

Was he really in Baywatch, I thought that the famous heir to the camera manufacturing dynasty was singularly responsible for dismantling the Berlin wall with his exquisitely veneered gnashers... But now you tell me he was also in Baywatch, So much talent in one so 'young'

Scarily expensive! She brought one home from uni to use on a location shoot and I nearly passed out when she told me the price, I was surprised they let it out of the studio though I suppose it was insured.

As one who has reading glasses I would find most of the 'bridge' cameras in the above review difficult because without a viewfinder (with adjustable diopter) and just a screen, this makes the reading distance of the screen and the distance of the subject a difficult combination. With an adjustable view finder this problem goes away.

Just a thought from one whose arms, for the purpose of reading, seem to be getting shorter and shorter as the years go by!!!

Horses for courses I guess, I can not get used to using a camera without a viewfinder, however given the reaction of most folk when I hand them my camera to take a picture I would seem to be in the minority

Yes, daughter says it really is only worth it for studio work and then went all technical on me as to why - she lost me, I'm a point and click girl!


Haha, missed this one before

They are a little bit more immersive to use and certainly not point and click, medium and large format also take wonderful landscape shots too but not exactly the dinkiest of kits to be taking out into a field

My main complaint with the digital cameras I've used is they are so slow. When I was in Scotland a couple of weeks ago there was a really tame robin who would come within a few inches of me but I never got a photo because he (or she) was not willing to stand in one spot for several seconds.

A good digital camera will be quicker faster and sharper than anything the analogue world could ever dream of.... But a bad one will be genuinely awful, but even a bad one just needs to be used appropriately and for what it was made for and it will be fine.

I've ordered a Fuji FinePix HS50EXR. It's a bridge camera. Reviews on Amazon indicates it a good one.
PS - I got it off e-bay (UK) .... supposedly brand new ..... awaiting delivery. The price was reasonable .... nowhere near the price of a Hasselblad at £32,000
We currently have a Fuji Finepix F47fd. Got this one off e-bay too .... it was sold by a company specialising in unrecovered lost airport luggage! I like it but have reached the point whereby I need something more advanced because my close-up photos have never come out as they should.

I've been pretty impressed with my new camera. One unexpected surprise was discovering I could take B&W pics with a filter to retain anything which was red, green, yellow or orange.

Oh I am jealous. I still have no new camera But it is only a matter of time...

llareggub

You are all very bad people, all this talk made me buy a new camera too, hang your heads in shame the lot of you

Only been out for a spin with it once but a short trip to Budapest next week should see it get a bit of action.

Are you going to share with us details of your new equipment? :-)

It is a sparkly new Canon 70D, my old DSLR did not do video other than through a hack and have picked up a couple of video jobs for next year so an upgrade was required
