    The Backpacking Photographer Series

    First Class stamp up 30%

    I don't post things too often, so am not so bothered by it. 60p is still good value. But I do see how this is going to add up for big companies.

    The myth of sharpness and the relative (un)importance of it.

    If my eyes can't distinguish sharpness on a large print (24 x 20 inches say) or on my monitor when it is scaled to fit, then its good enough for me. dpreview.com forums are disgusting for gear critique.

    Nice haul! I feel inspired to pop into my local charity shops the next time I pass now. £15 seems a bargain for all that glass.

    Comparison of Olympus E-M5 and Panasonic G3 RAW Files

    Don't think the OM-D is really aimed at G3 owners, that's still a great camera even today.

    Hello

    Hi everyone. I'm Rob, but as that name was taken, I doubled it :cool: From Hampshire. Had a Canon 500D for a few years but got rid of it recently and all associated bits as I got a Sony NEX-5n now. I work in a camera shop so interest has risen again recently. Gear acquisition syndrome...
