Cheers Mr P. I hadn't really considered the cropability. That is a good point. On the HR mode, I've used it on Olympus cameras so I'm aware of the more general limitation but how is the implementation on Fuji? Raw straight out of camera? Easy to engage hi-res mode in the field or is it...

I admit this is a question entirely born of GAS and nothing to do with necessity.... I'm toying with the idea of upgrading my X-T4 to an X-T5. Generally speaking with most gadgets and cameras especially, I'm happy to skip a generation or two rather than always having the latest and greatest...

That's exactly what I love about them. I don't have one at present but a few have come and gone over the years. Really the only reason I don't have one now is that my X100F is my small grab' camera and so there is no particular need for me to have a pancake lens for my X-T4. The 18mm has...

I think the cost of the rest of the trip is what's stopping me!

Thanks Kerry. Starting to sound like the 100-400 might be my best option. I do like that it will give me something substantially different to the 50-140.

I'll be in my Exige so boot space not abundant for me either but it does at least have one! 100-400 does seem like a strong option. I've been looking at motorsport samples and people seem to get great results from it. It's not a lens I'm desperately keen on generally as I find them a bit...

Cheers. Can't really argue with those results!

Hi all. I've been a bit quiet on here lately. I hope you've all managed to struggle on by in my absence :) Long, waffly post incoming.... I'm going to the Le Mans 24 hour race in June. I've been a few times before but not since 2013 and my kit and photography aspirations have moved on a...

Cheers all. Some good options there. The Olympus Tough ones are definitely on the options list and I'll add the Nikon ones too. On the GoPro front, I'm finding it really hard to pick through the historic model line up but are there none that are waterproof without a case that can be grabbed...

I posted this on Pistonheads but it seems very quiet on the photography section there these days so handing this over to the TP experts. I currently have an old (2010 ish maybe) waterproof Pentax compact camera. It's totally out of date now in terms of image quality and video etc but has been...

Cheers. I think the trouble for me is that birds/wildlife is only ever likely to be a small part of my photography. So even though a large dedicated lens for those trips would be okay, I probably need something that does more than just that otherwise it will likely gather dust.

I've been a little quiet on the photography front lately but last week I did something that I've been meaning to do for ages and picked up a 100-400mm lens. Main reason was for local wildlife which is a fairly new genre for me but I've taken more interest since moving to sticks a couple of...

Welcom Jill from another County Durham resident. Great that you and your son have found a shared interest. Look forward to seeing the results :)

Cheers. Looks like google drive is fine. It changes the date created but capture dates are maintained.

I always go third party but when I bought a spare battery for my X-T4 recently, I found that the significantly cheaper than OEM options all had iffy reviews (mainly around battery life) and the better third party options all seemed to cost nearly as much as OEM. So for the first time in memory...
