It obviously is unclear though as you quoted earlier that it only applies to surveillance aircraft but if the BMFA are correct (I'd tend to believe they probably are) then it doesn't just apply to surveillance but to all small unmanned aircraft.

If you have a look at pages 15 and 16 here which are the BMFA handbook, the top left hand part of page 16 specifically refers to what you're saying, I do agree though the wording of article 167 isn't clear as to exactly who / what it refers to...

That's not so, you're not meant to fly ANY RC Aircraft within 50 mtrs irrespective of whether it has a camera attached to it or not!!!!! I believe their reasoning for wanting people working commercially licensed is that someone going out as a hobbyist will go out once every so often whereas...

The biggest danger is not t coming down and hitting one person but it coming down and hitting a car windscreen causing the car to career across the road mounting a pavement taking out a mother walking her 2 children .... or car coming the other way, or a school bus on the way home. The CAA only...

I think if I stand back from it and taking everyone's comments into account they're probably both incredibly good cameras and I just need to decide if the fractionally better quality photo from the Ricoh outweighs the "use ability" of the Sony with a zoom and I guess either will give me some...

OK have now done this now and thank you redlion for the suggestion, what strikes me is the Ricoh generally seems to be used a lot more in closer up situations and the RX 100 seems to be more scenic / further afield am I correct in my comparison?? I've also looked at about 6 different web sites...

Sorry .. this is where my green ness shows that has gone whoosh over my head but it's obviously good :-) I've just googled and found some explanations so will have look through those later after work and see if I can get my head round what it means so thanks for that!!!

redlion .... it'll mainly be for landscape type photos, houses, hotels etc sphexx ... is there any reason you say go with the RX 100, the Ricoh is "meant" to have better picture quality??

Does anybody have any comments of the above 2 cameras and one vs the other. I'm relatively green in terms of camera specs and how they translate, if I google it snapsort things the image quality is better (link below) with the Ricoh and I will mainly be using it for stills...

I actually feel a little stupid for asking now .... having said that everyone's advice is probably what led me to diagnose what it was!! I didn't give all the detail as I didn't want to bore everyone but one computer (where I'd copied it across) was showing one picture as corrupt and if I went...

Hi, I took some photos yesterday and some were "damaged" and some of them were absolutely fine, I've put a link to some of the damaged ones below. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1ydjd2gqoc79mf7/AAAGUNsGpWgjg3oxbbFFHE6ba?dl=0 I have absolutely no idea what it could be and thought I'd post a few of...

I'm pretty new to photography altogether and am doing Aerial Photography using a Multi Rotor which due to the nature of the beast is susceptible to vibration from propellers / motors as well as being very exposed to / buffeted by the wind. I saw on another thread someone asked about settings...

Having spent ages with Lightroom and Corel paintshop over the weekend, it's funny how 1 picture can be automatically improved better in one than the other, Corel does tend to keep skies bluer than Lightroom, and sea scenes are a lot "warmer" as well, they alsmost look sunnier in Lightroom but...

That's the sad part every year I keep saying I'll go and I've never been and I've lived down here for 10 years now. I've been messing around with the clone tool for hours now and I still don't like it, it's great if you've got a large area you can clone from but when you haven't it's a complete...

Whereabouts are you based, Goodwood's literally just down the road from me or were you there for the festival of speed or something??
