Thanks - it's fun to go out and try these different combos, but people are starting to wise up to the cheapness so the prices have been creeping up on eBay :/ You can still grab the odd bargain eventually if you stick to your guns and don't overbid.

A few recent sits from me. Two from Paris taken with my iPhone, and a third which is my first go at a long exposure for several weeks..

Hey Guys!
It's been a while since I posted here but I got a new camera two weeks ago and have been snap happy ever since!
It's a Sony A6000, thought I'd share a few of the shots I've got in the last 2 weeks (sorry if there are quite a few!)

Got something else to play with from eBay for cheapness, although these aren't exactly expensive to begin with and can be had new for under ?100.
It's a GE X500 and build wise it's pretty solid. You wouldn't want to use this camera indoors and anything above ISO 200 starts to get a bit smudgy. Even at lowest ISO if you 100% crop you can see the noise reduction is very aggressive so the detail is lost - it's a shame that it won't do RAW as the lens and sensor I suspect can produce better results. It's quite slow too, so no sports for you despite the 15x ZoomLast edited by MartyG; 25-07-2014, 07:56.

I went to see one of my favourite rap groups Jurassic 5 in concert last night.
I took my a6000 with the two kit lenses the 16-50 and the 55-210. As I was walking in a security guard stopped me, searched my bag and discovered my telephoto lens and said 'sorry mate you can't take professional cameras with detachable lenses into the concert' I wish it was professional I said jokingly trying to get on his good side and he said he'd have to put my bag with the camera in the cloakroom. No worries I said.
When we got to the cloak room I took my camera out and he looked at it with the smaller lens on and said 'does that detach?' I said no, the longer lens just fits on top to extend it (lying through my teeth) ahhhh right he said, 'ok well you can keep the small camera and just put the big lens in the cloakroom'... Win.
Cheers mate.
