I was reading the review of the 24-240 lens this morning. It's a travel lens and as it covers such a range there are compromises.

Basically the review stated at 24mm F8 it was amazingly sharp but soft at 240mm and F11 needed. It's not the best lens to get the most out of the A7r.

I have the A7s. It's an amazing camera. It does feel a bit 'cheap' build wise compared to my Oly EM1 but it does the job.

I've heard nothing but praise for the Sony A7 ii. I may well buy another A7 or whatever they call it. The lenses are coming out for it thick and fast now and are superb.

You either love or hate EVF's. I love them. It's a shame you didn't like the A7 but we all like/dislike various things.

I think you're the only one I've read of that hated it. I read complaints of the loud shutter but that was it.

DJI Inspire and Phantom are probably the market leaders.

You get what you pay for!

There is a learning curve and whichever you buy you will need to consider safety at all times - they can induce heart attacks sometimes!!!!!

I still have the RX100 m2 with external viewfinder.

It's an amazing little pocket camera with super image quality.

It'll be interesting to see how they improve this leaf shutter camera - I'd love 5 axis IBIS as they have in the A7r ii but it may be a wish too far!

It is normal to see 0 as EXIF

The lenses are non electronic and as such no data is transmitted.

I have the A7s and use Voigtlander and samyang lenses with same result.

Do you mean switching off the rear view monitor?

Over the years I have had all the makes of printer.

For past 3 years I have been on a Canon and it beats all the others hands down easily!. So reliable and easy to use. The inks are easy to insert and no problems with non canon brand.

I have the 5 ink version and print photos for myself to frame - sometimes on canvas and it does a very good job for an mid range model.

All the other printers have been problematic but I can't believe I have had no problems and it runs so well. I use it quite a bit too.

Highly recommended printer whichever Canon model you go for.

I've missed the point too.

I believe it will be a similar size to the Sony RX100m3 but with an optical 30 times zoom.

Downside is the F stop is 3.5 onwards as you zoom.

Due out in next month or so. This came from a lady in my local camera shop. Unless you need the zoom the RX100 will probably be better with the faster glass.

The A6000 is a pretty good camera. It feels a little cheap and the position of the SD card slot is a pain but, with the 16-50 and 55-210 lenses it is something of a best buy.

The 16-50 is okay and extends out as soon as you switch on the camera. The 55-210 is very good and I have used it on my Sony A7 (full frame)and am pleased. The 16-50 works fairly well on the 6000 and I'd be inclined to pay slightly more and get the two lenses with the camera.

The A7000 is due out this year and the price of the A6000 with two lens kit will fall....but even now it probably the best bang for the bucks camera on the market!

It'll be time for an upgrade soon then! :lol:

Depends what Olympus camera you have.

When I had the EM5 I always just used the top part of the battery grip. It's not needed on the EM1

They're cheap enough so no harm done......but I use my Oly cameras extensively on a tripod and have never had an issue. I use a Rollei ball head which only has two knobs - one for locking in the base plate and the other for 360 degree movement - great in the dark when there's not an abundance of knobs to adjust as with many other ballheads.

I have it and no problems.

The de-noise can sometimes be slower to save but it is a problem with your computer and not the program.

Ideally you need 8GB RAM and a good processor. It might be a good idea to upgrade if you haven't a lot of RAM.

All things photographic become addictive! There's always jobs to do.
