    RX10 iv Recommended settings?

    I’ve just bought myself an RD 10 iv and am just trying to get to grips with it! I wondered what settings people use for birds in flight and for perching birds. Also what is the quickest/easiest way to access these settings? Thanks

    Advice on best camera/lens combo

    Thanks Niels, I think I'm now leaning towards an Olympus body as they seem to be generally liked, and if I can stretch to it, the Panasonic 100-400 lens. Any recommendations for best choice for camera body? I'm only interested in stills, not video

    Advice on best camera/lens combo

    Thanks for the advice. I'm still a little unclear about the image stabilisation. If I were to buy an Olympus body and a Panasonic lens, how would the image stabilisation work? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm just trying to get to grips with the technology.

    Advice on best camera/lens combo

    I've used Canon DSLRs but find them, with lenses too heavy to carry about. I tried bridge cameras, Canon SX40 then Lumix FZ1000 but am not happy with the image quality so I'm considering a CSC. From my research I think the best choice for bird photography would be either Panasonic or Olympus...

    Help! STX v ATX and 85 v 95

    Thanks for the advice. If I could afford to buy more than one I would as I guess whatever I choose is a compromise. What is the cable tie?

    Help! STX v ATX and 85 v 95

    Difference between 8x32 EL Swaro and non Swaro

    Last year I bought a pair of 8x32 EL bins which I really like. Having read such great things about the Swaro version I wondered if those of you who have used both versions could advise me whether it is worth the cost to upgrade.
