That's incredibly fast! How long does one batch last typically anyway? Sent from my MI 3W using Tapatalk

Thanks for the reminder! I do intend to pick up a dry cab from the get go, together with the requisite for cleaning. Just wondering, do people use dry boxes + silica gel anymore? I sorta remember my dad and brother frying / roasting the blue gel bits to make them pink asgain heh.

Mike Tyson's mandarin was bukeyi though. And not sure if it's just me, but both these movies are starting to feel like they're trying to leech the series.

I finally read the whole blogpost. It's quite a human-friendly review I feel, but like he has also said is slightly biased, which cannot be avoided. Looks like he's got some love for the system. And I agree with you and what has been posted on the blog :- these things are mechanical after...

That's quite an early timing to be posting! I have a brief appreciation of the difference in sensor sizes, though I'm sure the technical details elude me. Peeking at it in the stores I have also found like you have mentioned, that it is bigger - thicker really - in build. I'll go read the...

The relatively smaller cost differential between a compact and an ICL system vis-a-vis the option to expand with the latter is actually one of my key considerations actually. Agree also on the limitations part - end of the day I suppose it can become a bit of an addiction. I'm sure for some it...

Haha yes I got the message here ... And agree with you. Frankly all the inputs of the seniors here have been quite valuable in helping someone new like me weigh the pros and cons - this despite a strong current of calling for the prosumer compact as a first camera, and with good reason too. So...

Lol that's very true! Exactly the thought process currently. Thanks! Will do that - that's also a priority for me as advised by many earlier, to have a feel of the shortlisted ones and see what I like handling best. Sent from my MI 3W using Tapatalk

Totally respect that - thank you for your insights! Sent from my MI 3W using Tapatalk

Appreciate your views! For some strange reason I am strangely attracted to the idea of an interchangeable system, and this is the classic example in my opinion of the irrational man at play. I do see your point about compacts having the bang for the buck, but am also seduced by the idea of being...

Haha thanks for the insights! You're quite perceptive in saying that to an extent it also boils down to wants in making such a decision given that the universe of cameras is so big. Rather than being wary however I like to think that I do try to be prudent; I tend to like to try and read and...

You certainly have not over written, Mr D! Thank you for the articles. I quite enjoyed your review of the EM5 in the other forum; I thought it was quite well structured. Also the natgeo and sansmirror article. Also, this: is incredibly true. Logically I know that - especially since we're...

CES starts tomorrow yes! Hehe. Sent from my MI 3W using Tapatalk

@nikonzen , thank you for the advice. Will certainly do so. Having read on and off and come into contact with family and friends who used to shoot film (and now digital) I have had the opportunity to have a brief appreciation of what each are, but will definitely need to read deeper, and also...

Haha thanks for this! I have absolutely no doubt at all that the advice given by the seniors is golden, and derived from years and years of experience, and is well meaning in nature - despite how it may sound like one is being discouraged from picking up the hobby. The thing for me about...
