Delighted to have been involved in this, which was shot in a pretty pitch black building, lit with LED work lights Shot using 5D2 with 24-70 f/2.8L, 100mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.8 Comments and feedback appreciated

Looked at them, but they want you to have the camera around your neck and it adds massively to the bulk of it, so I got an Op/Tech strap and LowePro case, as mentioned above. Love the strap, leave the camera out of the case when I'm out and about with it, got a bright one so I'm less likely to...

Couldn't let a thread like this die! Love the camera and it is a properly built and capable little thing. I really like the convenience of it, but with lots of manual control, if you want it.

So, will it do motion blur? Lens only shuts down to F8 - we give that a go: IMG_1500 by Thomas Cowley, on Flickr Not really lairy enough for my tastes at 1/100th of a second. How to get around that? Drop in the ND filter and we're down around 1/20th and a lot closer to where I want to be...

Do you not also now find that looking through the viewfinder on the 7D is like looking out of a small window? I was using a mate's 7D the other day back to back with my 5D2 and couldn't put it down fast enough!

Really enjoying using the G16 on holiday. It lacks sharpness from time to time, but is fun to use. The thing that has really delighted me is the 'digest movie' setting. This is an auto mode, which captures a short 720p movie while you frame a shot and compiles them through your day. I used...

Not much love for the G15 or G16 on here. :cautious: I went with the G16 for a camera to take on holiday instead of the SLR (5D2) and I've been giving it a bit of a road test over the past few days. First thing, how does it roll in low light? post-sunset on Ryde seafront, let's shoot the...

I think not, but the X100 lust is definitely still there for due course ;)

I crumpled and went for the G16, not only because of the price difference (£379 from John Lewis online vs £869 for the X100S or +£550 secondhand) but also because I was concerned about how wide the X100S's lens was for holiday shooting. Not sure I'm quite ready for a challenge that big. By...

Am I missing something there - X100S isn't on that page of offers? I swapped the two cameras on the end around to facilitate the comparison picture. ;)

To John Lewis at lunchtime it was then! (and IKEA, but the less said about that, the better). So, handily this was easy to create: Look at the girth on that G1X II! That is DEFINITELY out of the window - way too big. G16 - I do like this, but the viewfinder is utterly pointless and that...

In the G16 review on the same site they say that the G1X MKII is quite laggy and the user experience wasn't very good. I agree the larger sensor should be better and make it more of an X100S competitor. I'm also put off by the tilt-and-break-off rear screen. G1X is a more interesting...

TBH space will be a premium and it's also about doing something different, as well as not having a big camera!

Not feeling any love for the TZ60 - I'm not in this for a long zoom, but I am in it for stunning image quality....... but then a smaller camera for video would also be useful in due course - useful to cage-mount, if you know what I mean, Robin ;). The X100S does shoot video, but it's relatively...

This is what I'm concerned about. How much 'better' is the image quality of the Fuji vs the G16? At the moment I quite fancy these limitations - the whole thing of shooting what you see, but I'm nervous about getting there and being like the penguins in Madagascar, when they get to the...
