Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / UK Photography / June 2008Camera Models
My daughter is looking at cameras and am trying to help (interfere). Whenever she spots one that seems interesting I take a look on the manufacturers' web site to check the spec and to see if it is current. I am amazed how often the model doesn't exist on the manufactures' web site. The models must be slightly renumbered to make them unique to a chain of stores - probably with a slightly reduced spec. Any views? Would you buy a camera that isn't listed on the makers (UK) web-site? >My daughter is looking at cameras and am trying to help (interfere). >Whenever she spots one that seems interesting I take a look on the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Any views?

Sometimes the model number may be suffixed with "B" for black or "S" for silver etc. What cameras were you looking at?

Olympus X835 Beware of Olympus (and Nikon to some degree) as they tend to have serious shutter lag. Best buy if you can find one is a Canon Ixus 70 or a Fuji F40fd/F45fd/F47fd (which are all the same camera but different retailers - retai/Argos/DSG.) Don't get caught by the pixel race - 6Mp is enough for anyone - it's the lens that matters.

A definite maybe - I've never tried going that big! Having said that I printed a 1.5Mp at full frame on A4 and it looked seriously good.

I've got a couple of my photos printed out A2 sized hanging on my lounge wall. They look really good that size. They were shot with my 10mp 400D. I'm not sure that you could get an A2 print from a 6mp shot without blowing it up. Anyway, what I was going to say was that although I'm not into megapixel snobbery, I wouldn't want to buy anything that I couldn't get an A2 print from.

Having accidentally printed A4 from the folder of images for the web page 800 x 600 instead of the folder for prints using MS print wizard. I would not worry about it. Might not be good enough for the critics at a Photo Exhibition. But you would not be ashamed to show them SignatureTrev Nobody is perfect. But Being a Yorkshire man is as close as you can get. |
