Digital photography

Someone might be interested in my Olympus E-3 DSLR body. See: http://www.lfgss.com/thread70091.html#post2323431

Do any of you guys use the sigma dp1? I'm thinking of picking up a new digital compact for a trip to Morocco and this looks great because of the large sensor.

Otherwise I think I'll just stick to a film compact and a few rolls of portra.

haven't used it but read good things about it. Apparently the controls are a bit odd, people either love or hate them?

Aren't they quite old now btw? Or been updated? I had a look at the Ricoh GRDIII the other day and got itchy...

I've seen someone on here use it though, but can't remember who

Yeah but the GRD3 is insanely expensive for what you get.

The thing which I really like the sounds of about the DP1 is the sensor size, although the lens speed could be a bit off putting.

How about the Canon compact range?

Only used a G9 that I really liked, but found it too bulky so sold it again in favour for my lesser good but smaller GRDI

the G series are great cameras, I just find them a touch too big to carry around

Arrived in Deptford for a gig at the Bird's Nest to a welcome of smoke...

Might as well stick this in here too . . . .

Took this one at work today.

Nothing particularly interesting, but there are some photos of day-to-day stuff here. All taken on a Leica D-lux 5.

Your work looks terrible.

what CYOA said

A few photos from a recent holiday in Malta.

I love those buses, they used to take the doors and windows off in the summer. I wish I could go back to malta, the photos are very evocative

Ok so I've narrowed it down and this camera looks great;

Olympus XZ-1 Digital Camera - Black 3 inch LCD: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

Can be had for £314 from amazon. Bigger size sensor than most compacts, shoots RAW, fast lens. Seems like a great travel/ take everywhere cam.

It's either that or the LX5.

Panasonic Lumix LX5 10.1MP Digital Camera - Black: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

Does anyone know the cheapest I am likely to get a 5D with a reasonable lens in decent condition second hand, and where the best place to look is?

http://www.mpbphotographic.co.uk/ worth keeping an eye on.

5D Mk 1s can be found easily but no one really sells Mk 2's and when they do they aint cheap! Once the Mk 3 (6D?) comes out then you might get one. If its for video work buy a 60D instead.

Definitions of resonable lens vary widely. 24-105mm f/4? 24mm f/2.8? 50 f/1.4?

i have a nice 5Dmk 1 with grip and batteries for sale.

It is for video work. I'd need something that can shoot 1080, and I was led to believe the 5D mk2 was almost peerless for this kind of stuff.

7d is o.k and does 50fps at 1080, prefer to shoot with the 5dII though if overcranking not needed

The 60D and 7D have smaller chips which may not give quite as much depth of field but do have the advantage of your subject occasionally being in focus!! Get a 60D and a sigma zoom lens and it will cost you the same as a 5D Mk2 body on its own (lets you do high speed as well).

the 5DII (all the canons really) isn't without it's foibles though.
it's no Arri alexa that's for sure
