Thank you so much for your replies, I guess I’ve been comparing my cameras battery life to my husbands camera, a Fuji XA-1. He’s not had to charge his all week but I take my one out in the day and it’s dead by afternoon after a full overnight charge. Have to admit though, still getting used to...

Hello I bought myself the Panasonic LUMIX GX85 which I am loving... apart from the battery life! It’s shocking?! Does anyone find this on theirs? Whilst I appreciate that I can just buy and charge a second battery, the fact that a £400 camera doesn’t hold its charge for long really takes the...

Thankyou so much everyone for taking the time to reply to my post :) Lots to look into and go play with in the shops!

This is definitely food for thought! A fine detail like that is what I wouldn’t realise! Really interesting as I’m really adverse to all the touchscreen in camera options and ‘stuff’ that I probably wouldn’t use. Age would definitely give me that ‘proper’ camera feel if turning dials, pressing...

If I’m honest I bypassed this purely based on the price as I was looking nearer the £500. I’ve just had a look at photos from and YouTube videos about it and it looks cracking! Do you know the difference between the GX80 and GX85 though please? Is it an upgrade on the 80 or simply a different...

Sorry I should have said! It’s mainly going to be for holidays, days out, things like that. I’ve never used the far end of the Canon I have because actually it’s not that great quality at 140mm! I’m off to Canada in September and don’t want to lug my DSLR gear around on hikes and climbing treks...

Hello! Needing some advice here please; I'm after a compact camera, sub £500. I've got a Canon Powershot G12 from years back but don't want to go for another Canon. I've got my eye on either the Olympus Pen 8 or the Panasonic Lumix DCM-LX100. The only thing about the Panasonic; am I right in...

Hello :) I got married a month ago! We have our pictures back from the professional tog and love them. We spent a lot of money on her (not bothered by this) but we can't afford the higher end photo books starting at £300-£400 plus. Has anyone ordered a lay-flat photobox book? I've seen a few...

Yes, sorry I should have said :)

Good afternoon! So it has been a while since I posted or even read anything here so I must apologise for what might already be an answered question. I absolutely adore my Canon 100mm L IS macro lens but I want to get in even closer!! If I were to invest in a set of stackers what would I go...

This is one of the main reasons I want to get lasered. The contacts they started trialling me on after the 'budget' or normal ranges/choices failed were going to be about £20 per month! And I easily spend £160 on glasses per year too!

Lovely thank you for all your replies. I was too looking at optical express after receiving another recommendation for them.

Damn, I didn't realize that would be the case [emoji20] Thank you for your reply though

Good morning I am hoping to get laser eye surgery to correct my vision as I have been through umpteen contact lens trails, suffer from dry eye and am fed up of wearing glasses! I am looking for recommendations for where to get it done please. I don't mind travelling as hubby will come with me...

Lovely, thank you. A very useful guide
