After an original spell with AOL [because we have it at work] I swapped to Virgin a couple of years ago. Only real problem was being without broadband from the middle of December to the beginning of...

It all depends on your point of view I suppose. I'd rarely comment on technique because I have no qualification to do so. A comment -rather than a critique - may be simply to say to the poster that...

Difficult to say if you have a problem with the actual camera. Sending it to Fuji for testing might be an option but, if it's out of warranty, that might be costly [see the thread about the S3Pro]....

Personally, for birds and general stuff, I tend to leave the camera in P mode and adjust exposure by using exposure compensation as necessary. I just keep an eye on the shutter speed - when there's...

The great thing about the D50 [I used to have one - super camera] is that you can pick up any number of old Nikon fit lenses on Ebay etc. even many old manual focus ones will fit if you don't mind...

This attitude always puzzles me. Anyone reading this forum, who might have been thinking 'Fuji S5pro or Nikon D200', is certainly going to be less likely to go for the Fuji option if they have any...

Although they changed the mount it's perfectly possible to use older Olympus lenses - and other fittings too - with a simple adaptor. I believe they provided one free for early E-1 buyers. Unlike...

Results using a 1.4x Zuiko with the Olympus [Zuiko] 50-200mm f2.8/3.5 are quite impressive - I'm thinking this might be the one bit of kit I add this year - mind you, they should be good at around...

I've used an FZ20 [very similar] and agree you'd find it easier with a DSLR. If you're on a tight budget and thinking second hand, a Nikon D70 or D50 would be a good buy. I've used both and found...

The only problem I've found using a tcon in the past is deciding when to use it - I was always taking it off and putting it back on. I like the look of the new Olympuis 2x - that would take my 50-200...

What Olympus need is a new model in the same price range as the D200. An affordable upgrade for the E-1. If the new E-3 is priced [as some predict] at double the price you'd pay for a D200 or Canon's...

Makes you wonder why they would bother with a new 6mp bottom end camera when the D50 is already there at a rock bottom price. A budget 10mp would surely make more sense?

I used a second hand cheapie Jessops 2x on a nikkor 80-200mmf2.8 last winter and it was surprisingly good. But at the same time I had a sigma 70-300 and tried it on that just to see what 300mm x2...
