Re: Sony UK's Live Webchat (archived)

Interesting but a no go on the "any more OVF models" Simple question really if it's a no just say it some folks would like to know! Shame I missed this though I doubt I would have got a question in ;-) Yes... I asked that question a couple of times, and I'm still waiting patiently for a r...

Re: Sony UK distribution centre burned to the ground

I don't know about Australia, but in the UK, the equivelant of the Tea[s] Baggers[/s] Party are in Government, and the very people who haven't got a clue what went wrong or how to fix it, and make a different announcement every day, some of which seem to contradict the previous ones.

Re: Sony UK distribution centre burned to the ground

It's just that the class attribution should not come with birthright, better tie it up to the real merits of a person. What you mean is a meritocracy. It is a shame that the UK is currently being run by the birthright brigade. I am "amused" by Camerons' claim that society is broken. I'd l...

Re: Sony UK distribution centre burned to the ground

The only proper way to deal with those who live against the laws of the society is to strip those of the social rights. Like if some 'ratboy' shows no respect to the others' property, deny him/her the very right of property, so that they cannot possess any property registered in their names. Likewi...

Re: Advice please.

Although my a580 problem was due to sensor debris, it may be that your problem is of a similar nature, Mike, as my problem was down to the sensor being misaligned.

You could try downloading the Amateur Photographer lens chart for some test shots.

Good idea. Load them on to Ark Royal, tow it out to sea and scupper it, preferably in the Marianas Trench.... :P

Re: Sony UK distribution centre burned to the ground

This has little to do with politics in the UK, or civil rights, or who is in poverty or underpriviledged. It may have started as a protest about a police shooting, but the spread is all about looting. The "Riots" are purely a distraction to allow the robbing to go on, as the Police and Fir...

Re: 2 350s = 1 700?

I have that problem on a permanent basis! I am left eye dominant, so all the controls on the rear are hidden! This is despite me being right handed. I've tried using my right eye, but it just doesn't work! :? I am left eye and left hand dominant so I know what you mean. Although I have used SLRs fo...

Re: 2 350s = 1 700?

if I would have had this camera when I still had the patch on the right eye, my nose would been causing all kinds of problems! Not so with the 350's lower placed unit.

A good guide to what mushrooms you can safely eat is: If it's not on sale in Sainsburys, then don't! :P

Re: Firmware: Sonys' way of driving us all to SLTs?

This will be a bit off-topic...it's hard to follow a thread when you can't read the OP's text. Many users here use alternative skins for the forum that do not have the black background, but a lighter one like what the forum had some years ago. Anyway, when a member specifies a font color other than...

Re: Firmware: Sonys' way of driving us all to SLTs?

I think you can pretty much count on most new support from Sony to be geared towards their new SLT's. It only makes sense as this is the new direction. There is nothing "wrong" with there OVF cameras that needs "fixed" from their point of view. Such is the way companies work it ...

Re: What a weekend

I have chicken pot pies in the oven right now, but wish I had some good chili on a cold night like tonight. I don't get it with you Scots and haggis. Does that stuff actually taste good? Reminds me of an old saying: "Those who love sausage and respect the law should never see either one being ...
