A real bargin, grab it quick! Do check it out first, of course, as any repairs will be costly......

The blog dated 7th October lists those cameras that will never make the grade QC wise and also mentions the older list of acceptable cameras. I think it was probably this new list of unacceptable cameras that will never produce photos that will pass QC that prompted David's article (given that he ha...

I use a CZ 24-70 mainly on an A900, (but have used it on my A700), and can comfirm that it gives corner to corner sharp images wide open on full frame, and therefore has no problems on the smaller sized sensor of the A700. I think the main reason no one else has comented on it is because the other o...

Some great photos already posted, and I’m not sure if I can compete with them but here goes….This picture was taken in June 2001 on a trip to Henry’s home turf, namely Hawaii. We stayed on Kauai and had a couple of spectacular sunsets while we were there. This is Poipu Beach, captured on Fuji Provia...

A very magnanimous offer Dusty . The trouble is, I just know that if I get rid of it someone else will come along asking for scans of old slides or negatives………….

I have been using a Nikon Coolscan 5000 for about the last 3.5 years, having had problems with my Minolta Scan Dual (I think that's what it was called, although I found some new names for it... :evil: ) just after Minolta sold out to Sony. It has performed flawlessly with a wide variety of slides an...

Having only recently moved from a Pc to a Mac, I'm disappointed I didn't hang on a few months, what an innovation . Thanks for sharing Henry.

In fear of wandering off topic, Ginster make their pasties and sandwiches just down the road from us at Callington, and while they provide much needed work in the locality, very few of the locals eat the things! On the plus side they do sponser one of the best local firework displays for November 5t...

I can't promise that they are worth viewing, but for those who are interested here are three of the shots with the Canon G9. Unfortunately they had to be taken at relatively high ISO (for a compact - iso 400) so there is quite a lot of grain, and the seals swim so quickly that the delay on the shutt...

These pictures bring back memories of our travels to Chile last year - and remind me of the problems of the light in Patagonia, grey skies, the brief break in the clouds, and trying to get a view point that really express the grandeur of the scenery. I really like the light and colours in the 3rd pi...

Thanks for the comments everyone. A minute or two after taking the shot of the gulls, a fight broke out between them and they scattered – the luck of being in the right place at the right time. David is of course quite right, if the weather isn’t too good the Isles of Scilly can be a restrictive pla...

Thanks for your swift reply David. I've now ordered a copy of Expression Media V2 from Amazon - no one else I tried had a copy in stock - judging from the Microsoft website http://www.microsoft.com/uk/expression/ there might be an upgrade in the offing for the Media version as everything listed is V...

Having recently returned from two weeks in the Isles of Scilly, I've finally got round to sorting some of the photos. We managed to catch what were probably the two best weeks of continuous dry weather in Cornwall this summer! The three below are all taken with an A900 and either the Sony 70-400 or ...

David, having been sold on the benifits of iView media pro by your comments above, I find that it is no longer availible..... Any recomendations as to a simlar product for Mac use?

Firstly, welcome to the forum John! I have both an A700 and an A900. Since getting the A900 last October I have only used the A700 a couple of times - specifically for the 1.5x advantage it gives on lenses (useful at the telephoto end and for some macro work). One reason for this is as others have a...
