Swordjo, that pic is a fake. It shows the popup flash from the Panny GF1, the actual pic is on the first post and would appear to show a V/F P

Anyone who's ever used or owned Canon's G series high-end compact camera will not be surprised by its (now nearly yearly) update. From what I can gather (via Canon Rumours), the new camera won't really bring much new to the table as far as lens and possibly sensor, but will now include a HDR...

For what it's worth I think you have chosen very wisely indeed. I sold all my canon gear (a few L lenses and a 700D and 20D) which pretty much funded a Leica M7 with a 50mm f2 Summicron. The GF1 fits in with M lenses vey nicely thanks to the M mount adaptor. I now have 3 Leica lenses a...

Congratulations! What a great picture too!

I have this lens and am getting much better results however I was told not to bother with the x2 converter as the quality really suffers when its used. Apparently, the 1.4x converter isn't too bad (although you loose the f2.8 aperture) but the lens reviewers say that the 2x is a bit of a no-no...

How about Castlerigg :-) Large view here

Mine would have to be the ruined tin mines at Botallack. I only had a brief chance to visit it and vow to return!

Castlerigg is a must providing the weather isn't too bad. Latrigg is nearby (Keswick) and as its a tiny 'hill' you gan get up there for some nice panorama's and still have time left for something else. In fact, you can even park your car 2/3rds of the way up it too. You could then make your...

Yes flickr can be useful. I've been lucky enough to sell some of my pictures to people who have searched it for specific images.

Now that looks nice! Where do I sign?

Isn't it a shame that Canon are slapping more and more pixels onto such a tiny sensor! I wish they'd just put a bigger sensor in the thing and drop it back to 8mp... At least it would be both usable in low light and not overly competitive against its line of DSLR's.

...love your blog :-)

Apple have just announced details of their new mobile which will incorporate a phone, web browser and ipod in one device. Will you be getting one and which users swear by apple on here anyway?

if you shop around... you can get 50-50 which isn't too bad al all. Others wont offer anything like that so shop around...
