ChrisF Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 We had the Nikon AW100. Brilliant little camera !! Sadly lost it in the Orange river during a river rafting trip .... Replaced it with a Nikon W300 ... dont waste your money on this model
Fruity Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 We had the Nikon AW100. Brilliant little camera !! Sadly lost it in the Orange river during a river rafting trip .... Replaced it with a Nikon W300 ... dont waste your money on this model I used to be a fan of Nikon. Had a Nikon Coolpix L20, then an L29, then a D5200, but wanting to try a different camera brand. Not keen to get another DSLR, what with having to save dosh for better lenses etc (it would be okay if I was making a living from photography), and I'm not a big fan of Canon. I use my phone for the odd snapshot these days, but of course, my phone is not waterproof - you never know when you're in a situation where you would like to take pics, or video underwater.
sawystertrance Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Interesting info on this thread. Anyone got an opinion on the Canon GX1 MK 111? I'm looking at a compact to take on bike rides and my SLR is too big, as well as being a bit dated. This Canon, while being limited on Zoom abilities, seems to be pretty well specced.

I'm looking at a compact to take on bike rides and my SLR is too big, as well as being a bit dated. This Canon, while being limited on Zoom abilities, seems to be pretty well specced. Brilliant camera !! The only limitations being:- x3 zoom .... BUT, dont be fooled by the very large zoom figures of some cameras .... at some point you need a tripod due to the zoom .... - size and weight .... this is a bulky and heavy camera to lugg about on bike. I have the Canon G15 (much older and entry version of the GX1) which I use on building sites. It is a very nice camera, but it will be heavy in a cycling back pocket .... still better than most of the P&S (cheaper) cameras out there sawystertrance 1
Tankman Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Got to test drive the new Nikon Z6 on a couple of shoots, it was fun!This was shot with the Nikon Z 24-70mm f4 @ 24mm ... which as ok.Much prefered shooting with my Sigma 35mm Art f1.4, which worked like a bomb using the F to Z adapter.

Tankman Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Nikon Z6Using the F to Z adapter meant I could use all my existing Nikon and Sigma lenses.Shot here with the Nikon 85mm f1.4 Edited April 26, 2019 by Tankman Andrew_Smith and ReaperVR 2

Attended a talk about his work earlier this week... and compared to the first photo posted in this thread... WoW man! Fantastic job and well done! Long Wheel Base, Frosty and Escapee.. 3
