Continued... Sensor quality – Here I would say I am interested in producing natural colours and smooth images (free from noise). The LX7 is better than the LX5 but neither can touch the Sony. The Sony has smooth images with very limited noise that doesn’t get exaggerated when the images are processed. The colours from … Continue reading RX100 V’s LX5 and LX7 – Part 2

RX100 V’s LX5 and LX7 – Part 1
It’s funny how the same questions keep coming up in photography and this is one of them. Which is the better camera the RX100 or the LX5/LX7? I see people arguing on forums, it comes up as a search term in the traffic stats for this sight and I even receive emails asking this. I … Continue reading RX100 V’s LX5 and LX7 – Part 1
When more is less
So, I have done it. I returned the 14-140 lens for a refund and the money has gone against a Sony RX10. My first impressions are that this is quite a large camera. Actually, it's not a camera at all but a huge lens with a sensor stuck on the back. You might feel that … Continue reading When more is less
A day at the Beach
Yesterday was a day out at the beach but not as you might expect. The beach in question wasn't really a beach but the tidal flats of Morecambe Bay. As not everyone reading this will be familiar with the area, here is a link to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morecambe_Bay The Bay has seen more than its fair … Continue reading A day at the Beach
Best Compact Camera for Travel
In my previous blog post I mentioned how I now view the Olympus OMD as my perfect Travel Camera. And whilst this camera is a great package and quite small, it’s still a lot larger and heavier than a compact camera? On my recent trip to France however there were times when I wanted the … Continue reading Best Compact Camera for Travel
This Camera Rocks
First, I must apologise for the visual pun and poor quality of my humour. I also must admit to a rather strange fascination with rock and a desire to photograph rock. I can’t put my finger on why but I just love the texture and sometimes the colour of rock. The image above is typical … Continue reading This Camera Rocks
Sharing some Pictures
For today’s blog post I don’t want to do much more than share some recent images and rave about how impressed I am with the RX100 compact camera. I tend to forget this until I come to process some of the images that are lying around on my hard disk. All the images you see … Continue reading Sharing some Pictures
Microstock Update
Some time back I published a blog post saying that I wanted to test out the Microstock market using Compact and Micro 43 cameras. I already sell stock through a couple of “traditional” agencies who require I meet certain equipment standards. Interestingly these now allow the use of Micro 43 cameras providing they meet the … Continue reading Microstock Update
The best thing to have with you in a Desert
Stop for a moment and think about the answer to the following question. What is the single best thing to have with you in a desert? The answer is a Sony RX100. If there is one subject matter I really love to photograph its sand and where else do you find lots of sand but … Continue reading The best thing to have with you in a Desert
Lightroom Profile for Sony RX100
I have been trying to create a new camera profile for my Sony RX100 in Lightroom for a few weeks but had been unable to get the software for my Passport Color Checker to work properly. I have now traced the problem to the new version of DNG files that Lightroom 4.3 creates (Lightroom 4.2 … Continue reading Lightroom Profile for Sony RX100
