    Leica M-D - the $6k camera with no screen...

    I don't really get it, I don't see the point of actually getting rid of the screen unless theres some other benefits to it i.e. smaller/lighter, better battery, etc. I don't use the screen on cameras very often, usually to check settings or indeed change them. In fact, one of the main things I...

    Beginner Cameras with ability to produce uncorrected or unprocessed images

    I also would have thought shooting RAW would be the way to go in terms of uncorrected and unprocessed, then using the same method to convert to JPEG or other format to view if needed.

    Fuji x100/S/T/F Owners Thread

    I finally got my hands on an X100S and it feels nice and comfortable; I feel like my original X100 never left. Ever since owning an X100 I loved it, I was introduced by a friend when I was fairly new at photography and the photos were incredible - so much better than anything that came out of...

    Washing Your Car!

    I was in Halfords yesterday and remembered I ran out of ValetPro PH neutral snow foam so I was having a look to see what they had; nothing much! It was a choice between Demon Foam or Karcher's own brand stuff, I thought I'd go for Demon Foam. No one make the same mistake, its garbage as a snow...

    Washing Your Car!

    I spent a good 2-3 hours cleaning mine on a Sunday. I usually use Valet Pro PH neutral snow foam (although just run out actually so looking for suggestions on better ones!) and I use the Karcher foam attachment bottle, it doesn't cling as well as proper foam lances but does the job for me. I...

    Sizing down - Help with a camera

    I think any modern CSC will have image quality as good as the 7D, if not better. I know for a fact Fuji are right up there at the minute, with some of the best lenses around but I'm not a big fan of zooms so don't have much experience there. A different option might be one of Canons offerings...

    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    After a while out of the Fuji game, my X-T10 arrived this morning. Only had a chance to have a quick play but it really is small; I have the kit 16-50mm MkII lens and it feels very front heavy! What are the opinions on this lens? I've never been a fan of zooms and was half tempted to go body...

    Fuji X-E1/X-E2/X-E2S/X-E3 Owners Thread

    I had the X-E1, then X Pro 1 and 35mm f1.4 before and loved them both but wasn't getting enough use really. I always thought the autofocus was decent enough for my needs. The flip screen doesn't really bother me, I suppose its just a matter of choosing between the X-E2 and X-T10, there doesn't...

    Fuji X-E1/X-E2/X-E2S/X-E3 Owners Thread

    Thanks for posting that deal! I'm quite tempted myself. Bit unsure on what to go for though tbh, I was pretty much decided on the X100S but I'm missing the 35mm f1.4. Is there much difference between the X-E1, X-E2 and X-T10?

    My new camera has made my photography skills worse!

    I think there have been technological advancements which people aren't too familiar with, in terms of metering mode I only ever use spot but there are 2 other modes which i've tried and failed with - I don't really know how they work and have never bothered to learn. Whether they were...

    picture quality and longevity

    Nope, I wouldn't say the image quality is important. What makes an image iconic? Usually its the composition and the subject. If you look at some famous photographs (as some have been mentioned already) none are high quality, I don't know if they were considered so at the time but they're still...

    Travelling with a compact pt 3 - New Zealand (pic heavy!)

    I came here from the RX100 thread, incredible shots here! I knew the RX100 was very capable but haven't seen many landscapes from them but these really are top, just goes to show!

    Do I need a RX100? If so, which one?

    I was gonna go for an RX100 but decided on a Nikon A when I got it on a lightning deal. I still get tempted to swap it for one but I think I prefer a fixed lens strangely enough! I have an iPhone 6S and the camera is brilliant but let's face it, it's nowhere near as good as any modern camera.

    I also ordered one, couldn't resist at that price! Hope I won't regret it

    A couple from Snowdonia

    I really like the first one but theyre all good! Is there some sort of artefact on the first one though? Just above the village (or what looks like a village) not too sure what it is but I think it would be better if it wasnt there, it caught my attention straight away.
