    is bridge camera dead? Canon/other manufacturers are unwilling to come out with new one?

    as above. Didn't see any new release. P950 was quite old (3 years old). Sx70 was like 5 years ago

    Canon SX60HS in Action

    I am a Singaporean and Sim Lim Square is a bad place to go for electronic now. Here is one article on it (http://exchersonesusaurea.blogspot.sg/2012/09/where-singapore-scammers-thugs-and.html). Even Singaporeans don't like to go Sim Lim Square now (it quite deserted) If you really want to buy...

    Do Sigma lens (120-300) depreciate in price and should I get this?

    I was aiming to buy a used sigma 120-300 OS for US$2300 (e.g. the owner claims to have only used 3 times). This lens buy is not urgent as I have a 400mm f5.6l. My question is 1) Will sigma lens (especially this) appreciate in price suddenly till it become too expensive to buy? 2) Is it a good...

    Manual lens for birding?

    I currently have 400mm f5.6l. I was wondering if I don't do BIF, will I be better off upgrading to a manual lens like canon FD lens (Assuming I have infinite time framing my shot)? I am usually doing videoing. For example, I saw a 300mm FD f2.8l (I was thinking to use a 2x on it) selling for...

    Next upgrade from 400mm f5.6l - Sigma 300mm f2.8??

    Next upgrade from 400mm f5.6l - Sigma 300mm f2.8??

    Anyone can recommend me an upgrade alternative to 300mm f2.8 sigma? I always need the 300mm end so I am not sure whether 120-300 is value for money and zoom is sharp enough

    Next upgrade from 400mm f5.6l - Sigma 300mm f2.8??

    What is the next upgrade? Sigma 300mm f2.8? This lens is cheaper and only cost US$2k second hand. With a 2x teleconverter, will it beat 400mm f5.6L?

    Digiscoping with Telescope vs Spotting Scope

    1) Does telescope or spotting scope will have better optical performance? 2) I understand a telescope gives a inverted image. But it will not matter when you are digiscoping right? 3) If I have $2000 and wanted to buy a good combo of telescope and DSLR, what will you recommend?

    Will this digiscoping adapter fit my binocular and camera?

    GO people recommend me this, but they said "just make sure it is big enough to cover the eyepiece". How do I know whether this is big enough to cover the eyepiece? I am using 28x110 GO bino and IXUS 850IS

    Is one side of bino equal to a refractor?

    I have a 28x110 which i used for digiscoping. I was thinking whether if a upgrade to 80mm refractor will improve the digiscoping image? If one side of binocular equals to a refractor, then it will not improve as the refractor is 80mm and my bino is 110mm in diameter

    Minimum focus distance increase after lasik!!!

    Yes, I ran out of close focus. I am able to use my 10x70 and 10x42 very well after the surgery. I can still use the 28x110 to focus on further object

    Minimum focus distance increase after lasik!!!

    I used to be able to focus my 28x110 binocular at 100m distance before lasik. After lasik, I cannot focus anymore as I have turned the knob to the extreme already. Anyone recommend me a way to fix this problem?

    Planning to digiscope with 28x110 binoculars. Please advise

    I have a GO 28x110 Binoculars which I left it in the storeroom and I will now have a hard time retrieving it out. Before I proceed with Digiscoping with the 28x110 binocular, I have some questions which I hope to get some answers. Q1) I tried digiscoping using HS10+Zen Ray 10x42 binocular. To...
