    full frame - would you?

    with Sony getting agressive on Full Frames with the a850 (ok pricing in the uk is a little high but it'll soon drop) would you consider changing from aps-c to full frame if they were priced at £1000/$1500?

    Brand Loyalty

    One of the things that I've noticed since buying a dSLR and browsing camera forums is the EXTREME brand loyalty. There is one chap on a forum who has as his signature "owning a nikon camera doesn't make you a photographer it makes you a nikon owner". I've seen Nikon owners rate canon cameras as...

    Some good news from Iraq

    Studies seem to show that conservation in Iraq are working. Although there is sufficient data to make quantative comparisons "birds like the Basra reed warbler, which were thought to be globally threatened, may no longer be globally threatened simply due to the fact that they have been found in...
