Since digital cameras are still a relatively new technology improvements with various cameras has been far more than just the sensor. There have also been advancements in the computer hardware, memory, and processing speeds that make them possible. This mirrors where computers were from the...

I never noticed that little green light before. Yes it is there and it could work in theory but the problem would be that you have no idea which focal point is in focus. You could set the camera for a focal point however. I leave mine on the center point 100% of the time

very cool, thanks for sharing. Makes me hungry for a T-Bone

since the camera is a zoom and not a prime fixed focal length lens using an optical finder would not really work. In theory you could use one from a rangefinder and mount it to the hot shoe but the issue would be getting that to match up exactly with the lens on the camera as the camera has no...

the best way to make a small fortune in Photography is to start off with a large one

I actually do not see either Panasonic or Samsung buying Olympus. For Panasonic buying Olympus offers nothing of any real value. What they would want would be the talent in the design and engineering divisions and they would be easy hires once Olympus bites the dust. In Japan buying a bankrupt...

The issue is that you are never going to have super results indoors with any camera using the tiny flash that is built into modern compact cameras. The solution if you are unhappy with the white balance your camera is giving you is to set a custom WB which is very easy on the EX1, or shoot in...

I have all of them so I can test my coding on the various websites I do. I use Internet Exploder just about all of the time since IE7 came out

I got one of the cheapy Ebay charges as well and several batteries. When I go out shooting street I leave the LCD on 100% of the time and the batteries last around an hour and a half. They work great and are 1/4 the cost of the "real ones". I don't have the auto lens cap, you will have to let...

I think that Fuji made the same mistake that Sigma did with the DP line. They made an announcement that went viral around the various photography boards, then waited WAY to long to bring it to market, and by the time they do the excitment is gone. They should take a page from apple who will...

Glad it worked for you :biggrin: My guess is the firmware has something to do with different video frame rates for PAL and NTSC, my guess is both would load just fine. Also if you look at the EXIF data on mine it says that it was shot on an EX1 not a TL500 yet I have a TL500. When I first got...

it sounds like you have face detection or one of the other gizmos like smart filters turned on. You select the focus point in the menu. You select the camera icon, then select , "focus area", then select, "selection AF". sounds once again that you have face detection or smart filters turned...

I must admit the more times goes on, and the more I shoot with my Samsung EX1 the less excited I become with this camera. There are just too many options in the compact space for far less money than this camera. The Sigma DP line offers an APS-C sized sensor and nice fixed lens for far less. The...
