    you're invited.....but bring your camera....

    Shoot every photo out of focus. You'll not be asked again and they will have learned a very important life lesson.

    Recommendations for first-time SLR?

    Spend as much you can on the lens(es). Do lots of reading as to the type of lens that best suits your needs. Primes will almost always have the edge over zooms in image quality. Price them up then see what you have left over for a body and other accessories. Nothing wrong with second hand - if...

    I like to have a camera "about be" . . .

    Not a fan of dSLRs anymore, myself. Too big and bulky and I miss so many good photos because I can't lug them around with me all the time. If the Fuji's are not for you, the Sony RX100 (or RX1 if you can afford it) might do the trick. No swivel screen admittedly, but very small and light which...

    Downsizing... And opinions on the X-E1 vs the X-Pro 1

    OVF is likely much better for low light, and (obviously) no lag - never used the Fuji EVF so there may be no lag with them anyway, but with some cameras there is.

    Colour or B&W

    If you were restricted to only one for the rest of your life, which would it be? For me it'd be B&W. Can't really say why, I take more colour photos, probably because it's what others want to see, but when I look at "great" photos, or even my photos, I almost always prefer B&W versions.

    Please can you spare 2 clicks of your mouse? (Need a very quick favour)

    Both pretty much instantaneous for me (Virgin 120mb - though I don't often get that speed)

    Which antivirus

    I currently use Avast and have used AVG in the past. Both free. Never had a virus.

    Skiing Landscapes from Whistler, BC

    I rarely see an HDR picture I like as so often they're overdone, but I quite like these, probably because of the restraint you've shown. I like the B&Ws most - but then I almost always do.

    Old black and white movies

    Fritz Lang's "M" is always, rightly imo, judged a classic.

    Can't sell images

    As someone who's never tried to sell images, but would perhaps like to, this does ring true to me. Were I to do so I think images of "stuff" might do better on Alamy and the like, whereas images as "art" might be better sold on your own website or sites that specialise in art/paintings etc, or...

    Sensor development - What's all this?

    I thought it was generally accepted to be 20-something Mp but in reality was quite difficult to compare.
