Mike's post including the photo of the Konica C35 reminded of another option you might consider as a great, very discreet "street camera", if you can find a good example - the Olympus Trip 35: http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Olympus_Trip_35

See if you can find an Olympus OM2SP while you're doing your research. Fantastic camera back in the day - bullet-proof build quality, IMO and coupled with the Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 is a killer combination. Very-much a competitor to the Canon A1, but slightly smaller body IIRC.

I'm curious about what you consider "moderate sized". My first digital camera was a 6mp Canon 10D - I regularly printed to A3+ off that and an normal viewing distances is was absolutely fine. Admittedly, any serious cropping could be an issue, but a "full-sized" file printed was fine.

I haven't. But then, other than few "proofs" I've knocked out on my Canon iX6850, I haven't actually printed anything much for ages. Off-OP-topic - I lost my photography "mojo" the last few years, so not really taken "proper" photos (lots of holiday snaps on my iPhone and have done a couple of...

They've been in business a long time. Back in the days when I shot and developed my own B&W film/prints, I used them a few times for one-off larger prints and for colour printing - quality & attention to details was excellent. So I would expect that ethos to be carried into their digital work.

Depending on what you're looking or and budget, takes look at the Ona bags (https://www.onabags.com). I have the Brixton and use it as my everyday to-and-from work bag to carry laptop, documents, accessories, etc. Then chuck all that out, put the dividers in when I want to use it as a camera...

Just checking, Rich. Mine seems really sharp (I'm a glasses-wearer, but not sure if that's a factor).

Am I the only one who's a tad grossed-out by the "hairy wheel"? ;) Love the composition on the trolley-wheels - great spot. Weirdly, it reminds me of the Riverdance folk lining up to dance..... (don't worry, I'm off now )

Forgive me stating the obvious, but I assume you've adjusted the Dioptre wheel?

I work in IT Network Design and although I don't profess to know everything, I may be able to help - ask away....

I've been to a few places where the ask is to not take photos in certain places - Hong Kong's Big Buddha and Uluru & Kata Tjuta being three examples - and witnessed people absolutely ignoring the request from guides and in written notices. In each of these cases they were Americans (not sure...

I gave up my PS CC subscription. I've recently bought Serif's Affinity Photo. I really like it and haven't yet found anything I need it to do that it can't do. It's very reasonably priced

Alan, I'm also not sure I'm understanding the issue. In Manual mode, you set the aperture, shutter speed and ISO to whatever you want. Lets say you've metered and chosen to shoot at f/5.6, 1/250s @ ISO400. If you want to make the scene lighter or darker you can adjust any one of these to...

Very interesting use of a camera as opposed to doing this with a scanner. Out of curiosity, are you using any "special" setup - lighting, etc? And have you put anything over the photos to hold them flat (sheet of anti-glare glass, for example?

I've been out of the photography game for a while, but I've been lured back - also by a GX80/12-32 (£399 from John Lewis - ridiculous price).. Took it to Dublin over the weekend just gone and my initial impressions are really good. I found the handling easy to get to grips with. I haven't had a...
