Sure, but I’m expecting at that price level to be able to compose the shot I want. Not possible except for static subjects :sick

I’ve got a replacement and superglued it. :D Using a battery charger meant for another battery is really not on when it’s that expensive.

Likewise bought some spare batteries.

If it was only those two issues I could live with the workarounds tbh as with other things I didn’t mention.

However it’s marketed as a street camera and is useless for that. Aside from static subjects, you get a photo you didn’t take and don’t get the photo you took. And of course you never took the shots you wanted to take when it was for ever writing to the card.

Likewise never use burst mode, but thought it might be a workaround for the shutter lag problem. Sadly that doesn’t work properly either. :evil:

Love it and hate it equal measures.

Very quirky, but I knew that beforehand and have got used to it.

A few major problems though (for me in any case)

Shutter Lag – Very annoying severe shutter lag, especially in bright sunshine.
Card Write Speeds – Awfully slow even with expensive fast card bought
Battery – 2 hrs approx , not fit for purpose
Battery Charger – Worst ever. Plastic inset lost after a couple of weeks. Didn’t know it wasn’t moulded on until I lost it.
Burst Mode – Takes your burst shots (1-10) and then reverts automatically to single frame (very annoying) .

The stuff being hard to find etc I can live with, but some of the above make it more or less unusable as a street photographer.

Lovely shots Sean.

I prefer the B/W tbh. The figure is better position imo and the foreground is more pleasing too.The pole doesn’t really bother me at all.

Well done.

No need to leave at all. Maybe take the advice about editing already offered a while back.
