Also £44 is not a great deal, I got the Charcoal version for £36 around 3 weeks ago from Amazon.

Well there’s a turn up for the books, ended up picking up a “well used” RX1R up from MPB (it transpires that wine really seems to help decision making) at a good price and an electronic viewfinder from Amazon. Let’s see whether it will satisfy my itch or exacerbate it further...

The camera size comparison site is what I use and it seems like it's really only the EVF hump thats the major difference (and depth of lens by a small margin on the 35/2.8). There's also the IBIS in the A7Rii to consider as a plus. Honestly it's stupid, I just keep turning myself round in...

Morning All, I hate to ask since it looks like i;m indecisive but further to my earlier ruminations I’ve largely decided on an RX1Rii primarily done to size and function being my main criteria. However, looking on Camera size comparison the size difference between the RX1Rii and an A7Rii with...

That’s what I was thinking too in some respects but the reviews of that lens are mixed to say the least. But i take the point about future options etc (see now why I’m tying myself in knots :o)))

Afternoon All, I'd like to tap into the collective wisdom of this thread if I may? My Canon gear (nothing too exciting) went off to WEX this morning and at some point I'll have some credit appearing there with which to purchase something to replace the Canon gear. And this is where I need some...

I’m tempted but not sure I can justify the anticipated cost. But lets see :o)

Any thoughts on the Sony announcement tomorrow? Compact/action cameras? Maybe a RX1R iii? (and since I’ve pretty much decided on a RX1R ii I’m waiting with baited breath).

An A7 had popped into my thoughts, as had an A6500 (like the idea of IBIS) but it’s really the form I want and like my current RX100. Having tried the RX100V in Jessops I see the tech has moved on massively and I like a viewfinder too. I like the idea of full frame in that package and honestly...

Anyone on here with a RX1Rii? I’ve done a search and there’s not much around on this camera and since it shares the sensor with the A7 I thought I’d ask. I’ve currently got an RX100 mark one and a Canon 50D with a couple of lenses and am looking at something small and pocketable to replace both...

My BIL is a (board) games designer and put his latest game into his hold baggage for an expo out there. Lo and behold when he arrived his case had been searched (non-TSA lock so it was just cut) and the game not quite ruined but not in any fit stat to showcase his talents. As a (far too...

Thanks, I'll have a look at these. Tim

Has anyone got any good experiences of these? The ones that allow you to thread an after market "standard" filter on? Do they make the camera less pocketable, obviously yes as they add bulk but does it tip it over the edge of being "compact" or does it make them a little more "fragile" for...

I've put a Lowe Alpine padded insert into a Belstaff 554 Shoulder bag. It works a treat and when I need the bag for non-camera activities (you know, make up, hairbrush etc :lol:) then I just lift the insert out and Robert is your father's brother. It's also a lot less obvious than the lowe...

I've posted this before but the Duracell Canon replacement batteries are very good. Reasonably priced but with a large battery manufacturer's name on them...
