The SOUNDIMAGEPLUS blog: The John Millich Sigma DP2 Merrill L-Plate Grip I haven't posted here for a while, but thought I would add this. I've just put this piece on my blog, with lots of pictures, about the John Millich L-Plate grip for the DP2 and DP1. As you will see its a very positive...

The Corel / Bibble raw development software - Aftershot, is available as a free trial download. I've just given it a brief tryout and its actually quite good. Works like absolute lightning on my mac. This is all a bit like Christmas at the moment!! Graphic design software, photo editing...

43 Rumors | Blog | (FT5) Hot! Two new Sigma m43 lenses coming soon. After all the excitement from Fuji and Canon, 43rumors have pictures of two Sigma lenses apparently for m4/3. The somewhat pulse slowing pair entails a 19mm f/2.8 and a 30mm f/2.8. Mmmm.... did I miss something here or are...

Canon finally go "mirrorless" (or something like it) Canon PowerShot G1 X Preview: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review The rumoured Canon "super compact" has arrived. Sensor between m4/3 and APS-C, fixed lens. 14MP 1.5" CMOS sensor (18.7 x 14mm) 28-112mm F2.8-5.8 lens...

I'm running one of my rolling thoughts and experience series of posts on my blog under this link:-Soundimageplus: Sony NEX-7 User Experience Since I'm in the fortunate position of having all the current NEX lenses plus 3 m-mount Voigtlanders and 4 a-mount lenses with the mirror adapter (Sony...

Just to say that if anyones keen to get their hands on a NEX-7, I pre-ordered a body only on 22nd. December, having cancelled an order for the kit which I read was going to be delayed, and it arrived today. I was also charged £848 for it which is somewhat cheaper than everybody else. This was...

I've written a personal piece on CSC's on my blog. Soundimageplus: Compact System Cameras Amin has made the point in the past about how Google don't like the same thing published in two different places so consequently I'm not going to reproduce it here. However if people would like to discuss...

Inspired originally by stratokasters review to try one of these out, I have just completed a monster 15-part personal review and user experience report on the Samsung NX200. Due to the nature of blog layouts its back to front unfortunately, and its quite a marathon with samples, videos and...

What started as seemingly some kind of "cultural dispute" between senior executives at Olympus is turning into a major financial scandal. The company has now admitted hiding losses for 20 years and has currently lost 70% of its value. It seems unlikely that we can expect anything on the...

43 Rumors | Blog | (FT5) HOT! Panasonic GX1 video and pictures leaked! <iframe src="" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe> Very pretty!

According to this weeks issue of Amateur Photographer magazine here in the UK:- "Sony has confirmed that it has postponed, indefinitely, the European launch of its NEX-7 camera" Please note:- this is in the magazine, and not on the website.

A short video and some pictures of and with this translucent mirror adapter working on my 5n. Blog Post at:- Soundimageplus: Sony LA-EA2 a-mount to NEX adapter with translucent mirror. Interesting piece of kit.

I once described Sony NEX cameras as looking like a bar of soap. I was in fact very rude about the whole system. I'm now enthusiastically using the above. A few posts on this conversion? transformation? Soundimageplus: Sony NEX-5N High ISO - is it the best I've ever used? - SonyImagePlus? -...

My review of the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 lens. Soundimageplus: Olympus 45mm f/1.8 review No surprises - I'm as impressed as everybody else. I've posted lots of full-size images (via flickr) many at f/1.8 on E-P3 and G3 cameras.

There are some Pentax Q samples at Photography Blog. Raw and jpg. Pentax Q Photos | PhotographyBLOG Is it me or are these pretty bad?

You can tell that the weather has been somewhat dull lately, as here's another comparison test!! This time between a Panasonic G3 fitted with an Olympus 12mm f/2 and a Sony NEX-C3 fitted with a 16mm f/2.8. The comparisons are for performance at all ISO's, both from raw and jpg. and how the...

Its a morning of somewhat jaw-dropping announcements for serious compact fans. Andrea at 43rumors has a picture of an (apparently imminent) pancake zoom from Panasonic. 43 Rumors | Blog | (FT5) Hot Image leak!!! Panasonic new 14-42mm is a ...Pancake!!! Its got image stabilisation too!!

It may not be that compact, but it sure looks serious. Amazon.com : Introducing the Sony NEX-7 All the Sony news at:- sonyalpharumors | Blog | Continually updated: Sony announces the A77 NEX-7 and lots of other cameras and lenses! Sony go for broke!

Anyone using a Panasonic Leica 25mm f/1.4 (the new m4/3 one) with an Olympus Pen body? Mine arrived this morning and the aperture blades are constantly moving and "clicking" adjusting to the light, when the live view or EVF are on. Only way to stop it is to turn the AE lock on. I've used it...

As someone who in the past has made somewhat less than complementary comments about the Sony NEX system I've just done a 12-part review of the Sony NEX-C3. Sony NEX-C3 - Review and user experience - Part 1 - Introduction Sony NEX-C3 - Review and user experience - Part 2 - First Pictures Sony...

In a year thats seen lots of camera companies and camera divisions struggling, Leica has seen its sales of cameras rise 57.3% and annual profits go from €3.2M to €30.4M in the year up to 31/March/2011. (From this weeks Amateur Photographer magazine)Amateur Photographer - news, camera reviews...

CAMERAS NOT GADGETS. In the UK there is an organisation called CAMRA, the campaign for real ale. Formed in response to what the founders thought was the disturbing trend of pubs to sell mass-produced gas pumped beer. I'm thinking of forming an organisation called CAMREC, the campaign for real...

With the upcoming GF3, heavily leaked this weekend, Panasonic seem to be slowly coming towards a coherent product line that will provide different models for different kinds of photographers. With a range that includes the GF3, G3 and GH2 there are now cameras that will provide for both...

How do you decide whether or not to buy a new camera? Lets assume you're interested in a particular model, and you would like to find out more about it. Lets also assume you don't know anybody who has one and will let you do a fairly extensive test with it. There are review sites everywhere...

I've always found it remarkable that I can now shoot HD video on a very small camera. Ever since Canon put some serious video into the 5DMkII I and my business partners have been offering this in addition to our photography services. Since using the Canon we have moved over to the GH1 and the...

In a post Flash (Gordon) said he drew some inspiration from my musings on using cameras. Well I've certainly drawn inspiration from him and have followed him into attempting to earn my living without a (D)SLR. So I'm now a 100% Mirrorless Camera User and a 100% Serious Compact User. It was a...

43 Rumors | Blog | Olympus terrible financial results. Time to change something! (POLL: your suggestions) 43rumors reports another bad year for the Olympus imaging division with sales and market share falling despite an increase in camera sales worldwide. So is this bad news? Yes its another...

WHY PIXEL PEEPING AND MEGAPIXELS MATTER TO ME. Pixel-peeping is almost a term of abuse these days. "The difference only matters to pixel-peepers" etc. I spend a lot of time testing lens / sensor combinations, and attempting to see what is sharp and what isn't, how much CA and fringing there is...

As before a comparison between the Fuji X100 and the Olympus E-PL2, this time fitted with a 20mm f/1.7 lens. (Don't worry there isn't going to be a whole series of these!!) As before some samples which have larger sizes on flickr. Soundimageplus: Fuji X100 compared to Olympus E-PL2 plus...

I've been having a look at how the Fuji X100 compares with a m4/3 camera fitted with an m-mount lens. In this case an Olympus E-PL2 plus a Zeiss 18mm f/4 Distagon. Theres some findings and samples on my blog at:- Soundimageplus: Fuji X100 compared to Olympus E-PL2 plus Zeiss 18mm I have a...

Camera choice is a very personal thing, and we all use what suits us within the financial constraints (or otherwise) that we have. If we buy a camera because it looks good or because it makes photography simple for us, that is a perfectly legitimate choice. But what if that choice involves the...

Since there seems to be an unwritten law of photography that ultimate image quality comes at a price in both financial terms and ease of use, I've been thinking recently about which I value most. This was sparked off by an incident last week. My sister-in-law had printed up two pictures taken by...

I've just finished an 8-part "user experience" and field test with the X100. Its not a review but my real-time experiences with it, mistakes and all. Probably the most "interesting" (understatement!) camera I've ever used. Certainly the most frustrating, but ultimately probably one of the best...

One of the advantages of the optical finder of the optical finder on the X100 is the ability to see beyond the limits of the frame and anticipate whats going to happen. Here I saw the dog coming towards the duck, focused on the duck (using f/16) and waited until the dog was in the right place...

Harpers in Woking have 4 X100's - they just phoned me. Harpers Photographic - Online Photo, Optical and Video specialists, Woking, UK. Theres one on ebay - at normal price from a dealer I've used many times. Fuji FinePix X100 Digital Camera | eBay UK

Anybody see anything odd about these two images? No? Well just imagine the left hand side of the first one is shorter than the right and on the second one the right side is shorter than the left. Weird.

Due to deals, bargains, refurbished sites and just general spring fever I'm about to end up in the middle of next week with 10 cameras!! 7 of which are CSC's. So how did I get to this crazy state? Three reasons. Firstly I'm having to change the way I work due to the increased occurance of...

In the current issue of Professional Photographer - the UK magazine - the editor Grant Scott talks about using Compact System Cameras in the professional environment. He begins by recounting a job he did for Russian Vogue, for which he used a Panasonic GF1 alongside his Canons. Vogue ended...

(Just to say adaption is a hybrid word from adaptation and adoption, which is more or less what I've done!!) I've just got the ownuser battery grip for Panasonic G series. Just got being the operative words since it took 23 days to arrive from Hong Kong to the UK!! Since I don't have any of...
