WHAT’SWORKED<br />
FORYOU?ORNOT!<br />
Yourecently advised trying<br />
abridge compact at gigs<br />
because manyvenues won’t<br />
allowyou to shootwith SLRs<br />
from the crowd (issue 95,<br />
February 2010). Well, here’s<br />
an image Igot with my Canon<br />
PowerShotSX120 IS at an<br />
OMD/Simple Minds gig at<br />
WembleyArena. Ididn’t move<br />

SONY SIDE UP<br />
Iwas looking at aCanon D when<br />
asalesassistant introduced me to the<br />
SonyAlpha a.Idecided to give it<br />
agoand wasverypleased with it.<br />
When Idecided to upgrade again<br />
Iwas swayed towardsaCanon or<br />
Nikon, but decided on the Sonya.<br />
I’ve had it for nearly months now<br />
and it’sawonderful camera.<br />
So don’tjustbuy aCanon or Nikon<br />
because the professionals use one –<br />
buyacamerayou’rehappywith and<br />
that’swithin your budget.<br />

Well said, sir.Panasonic and Samsung<br />
have launched some greatcameras this<br />
year,too (see page 114). Keep an open<br />
mind and keep reading our reviews.<br />
the pictures. This wasthe first<br />
time Ihad used the camera<br />
because it had only just arrived<br />
from Amazon. With acashback<br />
promotion, it only cost £127!<br />

WIKI WANNABE<br />
Iwould liketoknow if any<br />
other readers would be<br />
able to assist in aproject<br />
I’vestarted, www.<br />
thephotographywiki.com.<br />
I’dliketohaveall the<br />
photographydefinitions<br />
in one place and have<br />
createdthe Photography<br />
Wiki to do this. But Ican’t<br />
fill it out because I’m<br />
learning at aslow pace!<br />
Iknow how websites<br />
and wikis work, but I’m<br />
slowly getting my head<br />
around professional<br />
photographyand so this<br />
sitewould benefit me,<br />
as well as manyothers.<br />
