If you don't want to buy anything in addition take both. Use the small camera for landscapes. It should be adequate for at least A4 enlargements. Nothing wrong with film and a good lens, especially if you know the kit. Consider a monopod though to reduce shake and also consider a 1.5 or 2...

besides the boredom of sitting on a beach, I would have thought that warnings about the dangers of too much sun would put people off. LA when working is boring but for a holiday there is plenty to do, either at a kids level or, on a higher plane of culture. Try going inland too. In fact I have...

Okay, I could believe that. In that case, if someone doesn't mind answering and I am not being too dumb, 1) how much oxygen is burnt per liter of petrol in combustion? 2) does this have any impact in terms of depleting oxygen supplies and can this be quantified? 3) I have some vague...

Have I got something wrong? I understand that one liter of petrol weighs 0.72 kg. I also understand that 1 liter of petrol gives off 2.33 kg of Carbon in emissions. Are these figures correct and if so can someone explain the physics of that?

Roll on the samples.

As has been said any camera in the price range that you are talking about will give more than satisfactory images. I sometimes still use an older 5MP camera as against my Nikon D700 and have pictures in the national press from the 5MP camera. But here is an article that may help you; The...

Although I now mainly use a Nikon D700, I still bring my old Lumix DMC FZ20 into use sometimes. Although it is 'only' 5MP the images are superb and I still use the old images - some have been published in national newspapers. The problem that i had with this was 'shutter-lag'. On the GF1 I note...

MP is a poor guide. Always go for a good camera, even with lower MP. Sensor size and how it is all manged is more important. You can find some small P&S cameras with astounding MP's and they will give good shots but start expanding their range in size and other aspects and they soon fall far...

No idea but my 8 month old 320CDI works as perfectly as my last two Murky B's. The only problem that I have with the C Class is that the ride is not as good as the E Class but I knew that anyway.

I have a photo somewhere of my wife's grandfather, whom I am sure will not have minded me calling him an ordinary man, behind the wheel of his Mercedes in 1936 or so in Germany. Even then they made a range of cars to suit people ranging from Heads of State to more or less ordinary people.

The assumption behind this appears to be that America saved the World. For all those of that opinion I suggest reading Norman Davies 'Europe at War' Europe at War 1939-1945: No Simple Victory: Amazon.co.uk: Norman Davies: Books Both Britain and America were minor players. In casualty terms, of...

My pen, like my mind, is a blunt sword but not that blunt that it cannot be highly offended by the style and output of Dan Brown. His plots feed the hungrily conspiratorial voids of empty minds and cons them into thinking that this is real literature. I read the Da Vinci Code from a "It can't...

Just playing devil's advocate, let's say that Renault knew nothing about this until the allegations were made. They conduct their own investigation and find the allegations are true. They are appalled and take immediate action; Briatore and Symonds out and litigation cancelled. Appear before...

You could use a remote to fire the camera or do you already? The iPhone now has a feature that enables you to trigger a camera remotely. The advantage being that you get to see the shot on the iPhone and know if you need to move the camera or subject.

I always found him and his style distatsteful. He was the sort of person of whom I thought you would have to count your fingers after shaking hands. In my experience such people are usually smart enough to stay above the spilling of blood and so it is a surprise to see him getting caught. It...
