    Canon Canon S120 vs S110

    Hi guys, as most of you will probably know Canon announced the new S120 just a couple of days ago. Other than a new Digic 6 processor and a slighty faster lens, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two models. Since the S120 was announced I have already noticed a drop in price...

    I've decided on the Ricoh GRD IV, after some two weeks of use, I couldn't be more happier. Let's hope it stays this way. Thanks for all your replies.

    if it seems to good to be true...... ?

    $100 is serious money, especially in these times of economic hardship, still I wouldn't take the risk. The very fact that you're asking our advice is because you have your doubts too. As the the old Dutch saying goes "when in doubt, don't do it".

    Leica So I sold my M7 and Summicron 50, now what?

    Just to let you guys know; after some hard deliberations, I finally took a decision and bought the Ricoh GRD IV. Now I fully realize that this camera is not going to give me the IQ of my Leica M7 and Summicron 50, it won't even come close. On the other hand, is this really what I was after to...

    London Olympics through a mirrorless Panasonic and the future of photojournalism

    I just came across this article over at DP Review. For some time now I've been wondering why not more photo journalists are using smaller mirrorless systems or even compacts. I mean, all they make for photos for are newspapers, magazines and websites. Does one really need a bulky DSLR with a...

    Leica Tell me I'm an idiot........ please!

    Hi Sam, regarding your second point; I totally agree. For some reason carrying a Leica w/ attached Leica lens feels uncomfortable. I have experienced that too. I mean, there's about 6000 USD value hanging from your neck. Somehow it didn't feel good when I was out on the streets. People would...

    Leica Tell me I'm an idiot........ please!

    I must admit I did not read most of the replies. I still feel he shouldn't have done it.

    Leica Tell me I'm an idiot........ please!

    Why do you want to get back into film should be the first question you need to answer. There must have been a good reason you bought an M9 instead of a film-based M. I assume you still have a working darkroom which you have acces to? If not I definitely wouldn't go back to film since professinal...

    Leica So I sold my M7 and Summicron 50, now what?

    Thanks Ernie and everyone else for your replies so far. Ernie, I will definitely look up the Sigma and GXR. And you have point, going back from such a high-end system like the Leica M could prove to be a mistake. On the other hand, there has been many a moment in the past where I was quite happy...

    Leica So I sold my M7 and Summicron 50, now what?

    Hi guys, my first thread here but I guess the title says it all. This week -after having owned them for many years- I sold my Leica M7 and Summicron 50 mm lens. My primary reason for doing so is that for the past year, I hardly ever used them anymore in this digital age. For me the time has...
