Where have you been?









But I notice that they have the price and everything now - they've had the Simon Stafford comments posted up for about a week.


What I have found eye opening is that I kept my eyes open for Amateur Photographer. They seem to have steadfastly refused to post even a news item at the foot of page 37 - the last three weeks have been full of (and emblazened across front page!) Canons.

Now I really don't have anything against the Canon marque. But not to even print an acknowledgement of the two Nikon bodies and five lenses seems either childish, or downright biased! (I won't be paying for a copy of this for the foreseeable future)


BTW - all the gory details about the '3 and '300 et cetera are on Nikonians fora for anyone geeky enough to want to.... oh, I said "geeky" didn't I... ...ah well not that I've looked or anything

Have you ever been inside - it's brilliant, just brilliant - always reminds me of "Little Britain" where Walliams does the silly Scottish flute playing chappie (I've no idea why I get this image but I do!). It's definitely stuck in a byegone time, just like Gray Levitt's hairstyle!!

Anyway, don't take my word for it - go in next time you're near.....

Hey Amateur Photographer have been biased towards Canon for ages. I remember a comparison they did between a Nikon and a Canon (can't remember the models) and both cameras got exactly the same marks for features, body, specs etc but in the final mark Canon had suddenly got 1% more???

I think the Canon and Nikon thing is good, it means they keep pushing for great cameras at a lower price meaning we get the stuff cheaper. But what really annoys me about AP is that they are so blatently biased!!
