something for the holiday sir? (Read 149604 times)

180mm/f2 going to half lifesize with unequalled bokeh and sharpness? Could be tempting...

If they bring out some more tiny primes I'll be sold. A 10mm/f4, 14mm/f2.8 etc. Maybe a 45mm/f2 macro... good to see them back in their tradition of making stuff that's a bit different and small though.

they'd want to be packing a 24mm 1.8 too as a normal. mind you it's all academic unless the handling is up to scratch. one to keep an eye on.

Hold on homies...

Can you use existing OM lenses on it?

You can! Ha ha...

I'm quite glad I waited. Well, assuming it's not shit.

dave · June 30, 2009, 12:32:43 pm

apparently they've got some of these in harrisons now (according to website).

What are peoples recommendations for a really small compact. Slip in pocket job. Needs to be good quality images and also pretty good in not so good light.
Anyone got one of these? Panasonic LUMIX DMC-ZS1

Are you going undercover?

Just parties, and random moments when camera is needed. My d200 with the battery pack on it is a tad on the large side!

got a little casio thing, really good size wise but images are a bit pony, wouldn't recomend them

Adam Lincoln · July 27, 2009, 05:09:43 pm

My first digital camera was a P&S Casio Exilim S100 its only 3Mp but doesn't do too bad. Took it to N Wales this weekend and after adjusting the levels a bit in The GIMP I didn't think these were too bad...

(Click through to look at the originals).

Not a patch on a dSLR, but for clipping to your harness when multi-pitching its great (although I would have rather have taken my wife's newer 5Mp version, but she's had the audacity to take it on holiday with her!!!).

I've got a Ricoh GX100 and think its great. If the R10 is anything similar it should be decent. I thik you're on a hiding to nothing looking for high iso peformance. Just get one with a fast lens and image stabilisation, stick to 200 or below. With the short focal lengths and IS I can hand-hold mine down to 1/2 sec.

I was looking for a thumbs up from you. Cool.

canon announce 7d. another fucking crop sensor. it's just compromise after compromise... some good advances though (100% finder etc).

dave · September 02, 2009, 09:11:17 am

see they've also unleashed the G11 - first time anyone's brought out a camera with a lower resolution than the preceding model? better noise instead of meaninless pixels and massive filesizes. glad someone's thinking straight. could be a pretty influential step as far as the market is concerned i recon.

cofe · September 02, 2009, 09:12:50 am

I think they've made a statement about resolution with the G11. It's good to see.

I'd like to have seen a few more direct print buttons on the 7d, but otherwise it looks good.

cofe · October 02, 2009, 09:30:02 am

Got one o' them? Deal with it.

Johnny Brown · October 02, 2009, 09:51:16 am

That 'blad is cheap tat compared to an S2.

dave · October 02, 2009, 10:01:37 am

you can put of one o' them babby lenses on it though.

they put a 3x2 sensor in the leica right? nigga please.

Johnny Brown · October 02, 2009, 10:07:57 am

YEH! YEH! Got one o' them!

SA Chris · October 02, 2009, 10:17:41 am

That was a "see" JB, you now need to raise.

i wonder how much movement it has? i used to use (and am about to start using again) a hasselblad flexbody. great idea, apart from the fact that CF lenses weren't designed to have much more coverage than they needed inside a fixed camera. you get a reasonable bit of movement with an 80, but not a lot with a 50. i think it's more use if you're just tilting and swinging.

i nearly bought a Cambo 4x5 the other day. but life's just too short...

Johnny Brown · October 02, 2009, 01:09:46 pm

The main disadvantage of that 'blad thing is to get round the extension issue its actually a 1.5X converter. So tilt plus wide for landscapes, or wide plus shift for architecture ain't going to be happening. I can see it being nice for furniture/ small products though.
