    Hoverfly identification

    Taken on the south coast of England this morning. I saw this little fly, poor thing moved slightly sideways (really slowly) when I brushed my hand against him. He seemed not to care that my cat was about to eat him. Then I gave him some sugar water, that was more sugar than water. He ate...

    Best Micro 4/3 Cam and Lenses for Wildlife Photography & Max Zooms for Micro 4/3?

    I am aware that this is an old thread but.... Hi ammadoux I really want to see your photos with the Lumix 100-300 mm. But can see nothing in your gallery at all. I thought it was my browser so I turned everything off & switched browsers but to no avail. I clicked on njlarsen's gallery & some...

    Advice on best camera/lens combo

    I've got currently a Panasonic DMC TZ30 https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonic-lumix-dmc-zs20-tz30-review & a Canon Powershot SX1 IS Bridge camera https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonsx1is so I'd imagine a G80/G85 might be ever so slightly better. ;)

    Advice on best camera/lens combo

    Thanks to you lot (& that nice Nikon chap) my desire for a G80(UK)/G85(USA) has gone from extreme want to must have. Question when the G9 comes out will the prices of the G80/G85 be likely to drop or be unaffected? In the UK that is.

    Horizon 8115 Tripod - Best Head Replacement

    I'm liking the Kingjoy very much indeed but it doesn't look like I can remove the QR base plate to replace it. Unless anyone knows differently. .... And I've discovered that every dratted tripod head on the market now has an integral QR plate.....arghhhhh! That did not used to be the case 10...
