DSLR's tonight on the Gadget show

[Mr E Driver]

The Gadget Show
As the technology magazine show celebrates its 150th episode, Suzi Perry dons a leather catsuit to re-create one of the famous `bullet-time' sequences from 1999 sci-fi thriller The Matrix, using only a domestic camcorder. Meanwhile, Jon Bentley teams up with seasoned LA paparazzi to test the latest digital cameras, and Jason Bradbury tries to break the land speed record in a vehicle powered solely by water

Today at 20:00 on Five

Might be interesting, I wonder if the 7D is in the mix?

[M-J-B]

Don't think they are testing DSLR's - more point and shoots from memory of the end of the last show?

Despite being a big camera fan, I do feel that you bolded the wrong part.

If I had bolded the 'best bit' it would have been moved by the mods!

I didn't see the end bit of the last one though I didn't think Paps used anything other than SLR's, but that means nothing on a gadget show test!

I think the Gadget Show would be to informed testing of DLSR's, what Bob the Builder is to an understanding of modern skyscraper construction techniques.

I bought a Dualit kettle on seeing their tests and it really is jolly good! Kettles/cameras....not much difference eh?

Indeed; the last time they tested DSLRs they were more interested in trying out the scene modes than any real functionality, so if you're already handy with a DSLR don't expect to learn anything. (But then it is a Gadget Show and not a Photography Show)

They were right about the torch at least.

I think you're right. I can envisage the eyebrows as I read that. Jon Bentley - a ray of sanity. Perhaps he should do a show with James May?

Saw it tonight from the first adverts onwards.

The only bit about DSLRs I saw was Suzy Peri saying they were using a 7D for videoing but then didn't use the same camera for the final shot.

Although seeing her in a leather catsuit made it all worthwhile!

(although for the purposes of the mrs I was watching the show for the equipment on display, cough. )
