The same retailer who was selling the Petax for $1.000 last week has bumped it up to $1100 but now includes $100 worth of camera bag. Clever. The bags would cost about 10 bucks, so they are getting ...

Bncooper, That's a problem Ricoh have had since the RR-30 was released. The flash seems to have a mind of its own. I took my camera back to the service dept and was told to use spot metering to try...

Someone, perhap both the distributor and retailer, is taking a hammering on the margins.

Worth a revisit to this thread. A camera retailer in Aust has the Pentax ist D with lens for under $1.000

How did I get into motorsport marshalling? Good question. Well my goldfish died and the Internet was not invented yet so I needed a hobby. :) Seriously, if you want to get into it contact CAMS in Ca...

Karate and motorsport. I have been learning karate for just over a year and find it a great way to keep fit. Sometimes my Sensei reminds me of my old drill instructors in the forces....hehehehe They...

Engraving is a waste of time in most cases. Toad got it right. Criminals dont care. Engraving, like locks only stop honest people. It's easy enough to buy a new top, front. side , back cover for your...

Sounds like fun. Hard to imagine that you're having trouble finding help....If I was in Perth, I'd take the afternoon off work to help..... :)

It's my name.

Panning. My two hints....Timing is very important. Tracking your target, shooting and remember to follow through. The second hint.....Panning is done from the hips...Keep your neck, head and should...

Photography is very personal. Most images are shot for my veiwing pleasure and so I can remember where I've been. 10x15cm is good enough. If I want to display my work on a wall 8x12 inches. Full 35mm...

Peted, I think we're singing the same tune but in a different key. :)

Maybe I got the size a bit wrong, but can you see where I'm coming from? Who's to say we'll be able to read a JPEG file in 30 years. How long will a CD last? Best we print what we shoot.

I'd be happy with that too. I paid about $1480 for my istDs body with a Tokina 28-70mm 2.8 and Tokina 19-35mm 3.5-4.5. I have a Sigma EF-430ST flash unit that I bought with my MZ-50 a few years ago. ...

As for Pentax releasing an upgrade DSLR....Maybe, but DSLR seem to have a longer shelf life than the point and shoots. At the price Ted's are selling at both C R Kennedys and Teds are making a few dol...

That's a good price for the ist Ds. :) But distributor and retail margins have been hit hard and everyone in the photo trade is feeling it. Jules got it right with his comments on buying power. We...

Ahhh, but who knows if images stored on a PC can be viewed in 30 years time. Anyone in here got access to a 5.5" floppy drive? Is electronic storage going to last that long or will the JPEGs all be ...

Indeed Peted. This is the same section of the market that were happy with their P&S 35mm cameras. Nothing has changed for them except the way the image is captured in camera. There is an old debate ...

10x15cm prints $0.21 each at Big W.... Not sure about the quality but they're going to send the SOHO printer sellers broke.

Hi Mez, I think it looks better when the horizon is straight, and the rule of thirds is used to compose. Have you got a grid on the LCD that you can use as a guide? You're on the right track but the...
