    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    I bought the camera on Saturday night, being an owner of Canon SX30, SX50 and SX60, I was expecting great results. Well on Sunday I had 3 occasions where the camera refused to switch on properly ( strange things going on in the LCD screen) I only solved the problem by taking the battery out and...

    Canon SX60HS in Action

    Neil, It's worth mentioning your experience with the supplied software or the lack of it. I am still having problems with the Image Stabilising, so far I am preferring the SX50 stabilisation. One of my favourite settings on the SX50 was the high speed burst mode but I can't seem to find it on...

    Canon SX60?

    I did have trouble with the DPP software, you no longer are provided with a DVD/CD bUt is a download from the cloud. You need to input the camera serial number. I kept on getting a faulty download and needed to get a copy of the link from Canon HK, the problem may have been my broadband but...

    Canon SX60?

    Firstly the viewfinder resolution is way better, button layout on the rear (you no longer hit the self timer button by mistake) focussing speed appears better. Of course the extra reach in raw, noise may be slightly better. Give me time to check most of the features but due to commitments I...

    Canon SX60?

    I pick up my SX60 on Saurday, it was released in Hong Kong on the 18th Sept. I have had an SX50 from the first day it was released and have loved it but I don't know how to describe the SX60. One thing for certain there will never be an SX70 as the SX60 can't be improved. It is fantastic. This...

    Panasonic GH3

    Like Neil I have a GH3 and Panasonic 100-300mm zoom, I have mainly been using it in single shot mode because in burst mode I am having a problem with the previous shots review coming up in the viewfinder and I can't find anyway to eliminate it. Here are some shots using the Panasonic100-300mm...

    First Days with the Panasonic GH3

    I have the GH3 and Panasonic 100-300mm, my main criticism is the ability to follow birds due to the fact that a review, of your previous shot, pops up in the viewfinder and you have have no idea where the bird has gone. There appears to be no way of turning this review off. These are some shots...

    Canon SX50 Specs

    Having used the SX50 from virtually the 1st day it was released, I am still convinced that it is one of the best travel,birding cameras produced. I use it for timelapse (with an external Intervalometer ), video and birding shots http://www.flickr.com/photos/jingbar/sets/72157631718104683/ Bob...
