little bit of tiltshift ( makes things look like models )

Well i know who to ask when i want to purchase my next camera..You Matt, i only said to wifey the other day that i want to get meself a decent camera allthough my old digi one as served me well, mainly for taking bike pics it would be used for

tbf if you want the quality of a DSLR but not the full 'bulk' then these compact system camera's are hard to beat.. Can change the lenses like a DSLR do most of the stuff you can on them aswell. i got the olympus for £245 with the 14-42mm lens, got the sony alpha about £250 last year aswell, was a bargain lol. This is all the lenses i got for the Alpha so far =D

Bloody hell mate, thats mental amount lmao, another reason I could her the fuji is you do need to change the lens,so she wont be digging money from my
pocket lol.

hehe, yeah got 16 in total so far. but i buy adapters so can use all my lenses on all my cameras, so it works out pretty cheap. The older m42 screw fit lenses you can pick up on ebay for about £20, and do a mighty fine job, lucky enough already had 2 of them in the attic from a old camera. The most expensive lens i have at the moment is the 75mm-300mm, with the x2 converter makes it a 600mm lens but as my camera has a crop sensor and not full frame, it actually works out at 960mm focal length. This is the standard 300mm lens at full zoom ( which is roughly 480mm zoom )

( oh and the lens was nackered, had to take it back the day after taking these pics rofl )

Thats a clear pic aswell lol, if go faster then 25mph when my girl wants a pic of me riding her camera just blurs me lmao.

[dick65 0]

yeah great pics im after a canon or fuji film bridge camera next year

[fr499y 0]

i recon Fuji got one up on the bridge cameras. Have a look at compact system camera's before you go ahead for a bridge, there smaller and have the option of other lenses
