:ROTFL::ROTFL:Shh Vivek ... I have no idea, but people rave about it so I thought I'd better want it ...
For those with GAS, whatever they saw ten minutes ago could be the "Goode Olde Days". ;-)You're probably right . . . Mind you, does my M9 and A900 count as the 'Goode Olde Days' already?
...
Anyway - back to the thread - I'm using an M9 and an A900 because only cameras with a 9 in the name are any good.
Incidentally - just been looking at your website - lots of goodies - I especially like that Tate Modern shot.
Important point: Discussing gear is one thing, and pointless if we don't aim for the ideal solutions, at least for me. Using it is a completely different matter. Then we make the best out of whatever we have. The "good old" OM-1 wasn't perfect either (I was never able to see that metering needle in low light or on any dark background), but it's simplicity made it such a joy to use.Jorgen, I don't see why manufacturers couldn't sell as many cameras with simple settings than with hundred buttons, proof is many would be happy with it and even look for it , I am one of them.
It is just another product in the line up.
I read most of what is written in this site because it is mainly gear orientated and it gives me an idea of how you guys are coping with these new cameras.
If you struggle there is no reason I won't, I take all the pro and cons wich are important to me and deduct what gear could interest me..... and up to now, I haven't find any.
It doesn't matter really, dreaming is important also

I've heard that FX means
full frame
but I could be wrong!
(snip) unfortunately, (snip)
Well, APS-C means fairly different things with different brand too.Oh, the Nikon innovation! :ROTFL:
Thanks Jono for interpreting Niko speak.
While everyone used the convention- APS-C and full frame (35mm), Nikon brainwashed its customers with "DX" and "FX".
Those designations, unfortunately, do not apply to other brands.
You can stand with me in my fight against all this stupid equivalence horsepucky:Well, APS-C means fairly different things with different brand too.
I guess we could all devise much better terminology, but it seems unlikely that we'd agree with each other about it
I don't know that there is a generic way of codifying it that's simpler, if you want to be precise and allow others to truly understand what you are talking about. I don't see much problem in talking about FourThirds, 16x24, 645, 24x36, 6x6, 4x5, etc. Photographers usually understand what I'm referring to.It all does become a bit of a blur when you start jumping around from system to system by different manufacturers, but there has to be some way to more easily codify the sizes than rattling off the dimensions all the time.
APS-C, APS-H and APS-P designations came from film APS (Advanced Photo System) cameras (the standards were agreed upon by all the major manufacturers), these were used by camera manufacturers for digital sensored cameras when the aspect ratios closely matched the designation.Actually, Canon uses an APS-C designation for its 1.6x cropped sensors, which is a bit smaller than Nikon and Sony and others where the APS-C has a 1.5x crop, but then Canon makes its own sensors. And they also have the APS-H for the 1.3x crop size found in the 1D series bodies, and of course the FF sensor in the 1Ds bodies. (BTW, Leica also used a 1.3x crop in the M8/8.2, but not sure if they like using the APS-H designation for that size, as you do not see it used too much.)
