Is there some reason - completely beyond my understanding why GoPro will not provide any details of their optics, the chips used, angle of view, aperture, etc?

Very impressive.

I wish I understood what the big deal was about the use of these names? Is there anyone who doesn't understand that it's done for a reason, which is to enhance the image of the product and make...

Don't Sony own Tamron and use them to make most of their optics?

Don't automatically expect movie industry performance as these optics may well be put together in a Chinese sweat shop for a very low cost.

Having the name of a top optical company like Zeiss or...

Thanks for the amusing response Darngood. I clearly don't understand your use of the term snob. Many might think that walking around with an expensive fashion item over their shoulder portrayed...

Darngood, you've made it fairly clear that you don't understand my previous comments. I certainly get this. Sorry, but I never actually said it would make anyone take fewer photos.

I am simply...

Why should the bag make any difference to the number of pictures you take? It may simply indicate the kind of importance some people attach to their appearance and attract attention from the wrong...

This undoubtedly okay if fashion items are more important than taking pictures.

This fancy Peak bag is simply too expensive for me and of limited use.

I generally use low-profile ex-military...

E2V is the company responsible for the sensors.

I wonder if anyone on this thread is aware that the sensors were designed and manufactured in Eastern England?

A superb photograph, with an impressive "End of Days" look. Wish I'd taken it!

HR, I can't quite see the point you are making. It's generally a matter of quality control, making products at the lowest possible price and putting them on the market much too soon, because you're...

HR: Actually no obvious problem with my posting, but never mind.

To be honest, I'm not too bothered if you take any notice of what I've said or not, but I will mention that many years of using...

For goodness sake HR, I would have expected slightly more adult comments from someone like you. Most of the camera manufacturers including Canon are guilty of exactly the same practices as Nikon...

I have to smile when I read some of the ill-judged comments by people who wonder why anyone would complain when a company like Nikon are good enough to fix a serious design or production problem...

This is really pretty disgraceful - again!. There was a time when companies like Canon and Nikon would release products that were thoroughly tested and evaluated. Major faults were rare. Now they...

This is just the kind of totally idiotic nonsense which makes you realize that the EU is a complete waste of space and it's politicians are largely out of control. It should never have been allowed...

Canon are always trying to make a big issue about counterfeit goods. If you are conned into buying an overpriced Canon speedlight that is not kosher, then this is clearly criminal. If, on the other...
