Today i went out and bought a CSC (Compact systemcamera) from Samsung, the NX 11 model together with kit 18-55mm objective. Will order the 50-200mm when my wallet stops screaming (3 cameras in 4 months). Anyone experienced with this Camera? I read alot of reviews, tried it at a store and i got pleasantly suprised, smaller than a regular DSLR body but with the same features and specs as nikon/canon. The sensor is the same as in Canon 7D. Reviews arent all that mixed.. most of reviewers give the camera 8 out of 10. Photograhyblogg, ephotozine and so on. The thing that caught me the most is the i fn button and it's features, you press the button on the objective and can manually change everything from ISO, WB, Aperture etc with the zoomring. The main reason i bought it was because i needed a smaller camera but with changeable objectives. And ofcourse i know the manager so he knocked of $100 from the price aswell.

I'm a fool, I deleted the original post. Many of you have asked how Paul (Gwalion) took his Glass & Bottle shot on Fridays IHC. This is how I thought it was done.. http://diyphotography.net/crossing-over-to-the-dark-field-has-never-been... (EDITED since Paul said it wasn't) It's really easy, and cheap, to do. All you need is 4 pieces of card and a table lamp. Thats all I used for this pi below. Have a go, you know you want to. As done on Blue Peter, here's one I did earlier.. If you have a go, put the results here.  

Hi, my X-S1 was delivered this week and I just love it but today I started to get problems. First when I try to select macro, in any mode, a lock sign would show in the centre of the screen, this also happened with other features. I did a reset from the tools menu and thatsolved the problem but now when I turn the camera on the screen lights but no functions show and no buttons work for about 15 to 20 seconds???  I have charged the battery, changed the SD card and done another reset but still the same,  so I guess my camera is faulty?  Any help or suggestions, thanks. Paul

Hello myfinepix community,   I have been experimenting a lot with black and white, and thought it would be a lovely idea if the community had somewhere to share all their black and white photos, therefore this gallery will be posted every Sunday/Monday.   To show us all your wonderful black and white photos, just upload the black and white photo to your personal gallery, then just comment on this thread and insert the photo you wish to show us, then just select the photo and click insert link, and just paste the URL to the photos in your gallery (alternatively you could just paste the link below/above your photo)   I really looking forward to seeing other peoples black and white photos and if anyone wants to include links to black and white conversion articles or other members black and white photos that you have seen etc, feel free to include them with your gallery entry.   p.s. Please only post 1 photo per week and also, comment on submitted photos in their owners gallery's, and not on this post.   　   　   Regards   Dean   Competition entry: My Gallery: My Review: Most recent blog: Most recent article:

My HS20 stopped recording video so sent it for repair (2-4 weeks), unfortunately that means I have to dig out my very heavy DSLR stuff or not take photos for a month! not a happy chappy, specially when I had planned a zoo trip and a mountain tea trek trip tomorrow...my poor back! *sigh*     Regards Dean Competition entry: My Gallery: My Review: Most recent blog: Most recent article:

I currently have a HS10 which I love but wanted a smaller camera that I could have with me at all times but would be able to take good photos. Has anyone used the F600 as this is the camera I am thinking of purchasing. Any help would be much appreciated.   Thanks Karen  

I have just managed to finish my new blog. Please take a look. http://www.myfinepix.es/blog/1424/417765 Thanks for your time. Christine

Hi friends of the MEMBER'S EXHIBITION GALLERY, this is the forth SPECIAL edition (already) parallel to Angie D's MEMBER'S EXHIBITION GALLERY. It is in no way meant as a replacement or alternative version of it, it is just an addition. The idea follows the ideas of the original gallery, the only difference being it is themed and will not be on a weekly basis. If there is some interest for this special version we will put it here every 4-6 weeks.   The theme is 'light'. Yes, the stuff that photography is all about. Think about it... A photo without light is nothing but what does light mean to your photos?   If you have ideas for future specials please simply add them to your entry, i will make a list and use themes from this list for next posts. The rules are the same as for the original: Following an idea by Jacquie Wilkes and the MEG run by Angie D this is the place where members can display one of their favourite themed photos for others to comment on in a special gallery. These specials will be run every 4-6 weeks with themes which come out the group of members which do take part in the special gallery. The Exhibition runs for a week and will be deleted next Wednesday evening. As with all Exhibitions chatter is frowned upon - silence whilst viewing, your thoughts can be expressed either in the member's Gallery or in the UK Chat forum under the appropriate thread http://www.myfinepix.es/forum/8/290684 - you have to copy and paste the link into your browser to get back to the original thread. Any queries/comments/jokes please visit the information desk which will be found at the above address. For Exhibitors - one photo per week. The photo should be entered into your Gallery with a copy posted into this thread and a link back to the photo (not your whole Gallery or a blog) posted with it. Any queries as to 'How to' please ask at the information desk (Address above). I hope that folk will try to comment on the photos in this thread - many folk are not as well known as some and all the entries deserve to be viewed with enthusiasm and encouragement. It is a way for the hidden gems of this site to be viewed by other members. Could I also ask members who see a 'gem' whilst browsing the Gallery to ask the photographer to post it here. I think in the first instance if the member's contact button is activated then an email to ask the member to post the image. However this should not prevent gems you have seen from being brought to the notice of other members. We all love to see really great photos. Any that were posted recently can be re posted in this thread
