It used to be the case that I could drag and drop the avi files from memory cards to the PC back and forth as I wish. For instance, I may want to clear the SD card to maximise the space available...

From zoom to wide. Now I am thinking to get a wide lens. I believe that the main contestants are the Tokina 11-16mm and the Sigma 8-16mm. Here in Japan, the Tokina is about a whole $170 cheaper than...

I have decided that to go with a Series 1 Travel tripod. I figured that a travel tripod that I can take anywhere will see more use, and it will be miles better than hand held in any case.

The next...

Wow, those are some really lovely pictures :)

I will be hiking Mt Fuji in August and I heard you can see shooting stars at night. From my research (feel free to correct me), it seems that I do not...

Thanks for your insight. I've been reading for a few hours and I am overwhelmed. At the moment, I am using an A65 with a Tamron 18-270mm and Sony 50mm (f/1.4). 1.2kg plus the weight of the head...

I've pulled the trigger on the Sony 50mm 1.4 :)

Now I would like to go back to the original question of "telephoto lens". Could someone explain what the prime purpose of say, the previously...

Since I like shooting night scenes, I am looking to invest in a tripod and remote release.

Regarding the tripod, I am almost set on a Gitzo. I am planning to hike Mt Fuji this summer, so I would...

This might be a silly question, but Googling around, some sources say its 62mm, while others say its 72mm. Can anyone please shed some light on this please? Thanks :)

Hmm, I noticed that in post number 16, I said Sony vs Tamron. That's was a typo. I really meant Sony vs Sigma (50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM).

The price difference doesn't bother me, but the size...

On an unrelated question, would you recommend installing the Picture Motion Browser? It won't start moving files around or modifying them without permission, will it?

I have read about the Minolta, but haven't researched it much depth.

From what I've seen, at 50mm f/1.4, it's the battle between Sony and Tamron. Unsurprisingly, my Googling doesn't turn up...

Ah, re-reading my post, I can see why you would think that I have a low opinion on prime. While it is true that the lack of flexibility is a downside for me, I had a fairly neutral opinion even...

In the end I went for the A65 / Tamron 18-270mm combo. I went with the A65 in part because of the price (I unexpectedly managed to negotiate a good deal, and in Japan, the price difference between...

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies.

Referring to an earlier thread, much of the use will be outdoor (landscape, street photography). There may be in door shots such as museums and other "tourist...

Thank you! I think that this is the tie breaker that is going to shift me towards the A-77. I was afraid of looking up the price of the TAMRON 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II PZD but it is actually cheaper...

As noted on this thread (http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?49232-Mostly-deciding-between-the-A77-vs-NEX-7) I am currently deciding between the NEX-7 and A77. Previously I was leaning...

Hi, thanks for all the replies. The reason I made the thread at the time, was because I wasn't sure whether to go pull the te rigger on a Sony A450 that was available at a decent price. I didn't, so...

Hi, thanks for the reply. My indoor shots tend to be limited to social occasions so my Fuji F31fd can manage that aspect. However, I like to shoot outdoor at night time, and I am looking for an...

Not looking for a compact, but undecided...

There is one thing about the F31fd that I miss about the F10, and it's the simplicity of moving files to/from the camera. The card reader on my monitor does not support xD card, and I can't justify...

Thanks. The wide angle is one of the higher end priority so I need to take it into account. I just had a look at the G9, A650IS and S5 IS. I like the fact that those cameras have conversion lens...

I am trying to help a friend here. All in all, the requirements are not too unlike the one seen here, but there are some small differences.

The F31fd would be a near perfect camera for my needs. Yet I decided to wait for reviews of the F50fd. Now not does it seem that I've wasted time waiting, but the F31fd may be hard to get hold of...

I saw it last month. But I assumed it was just the F40/45fd with even more MP.

Having done a closer comparison, I was not far off. They've made very minor tweaks (more digital zoom). I am also...
