Having a daughter who has been in the thick of this out in the far east and ourselves not long back to the UK from Korea, I urge all clubs not to meet up, most of our members are extremely vulnerable because of their age. we will ge...

Re: Hard disk drive failure
windows 10 really punishes your drive so beware if you have ssds as they have a finite number of writes... as we film makers tend to backup our footage to external drives (you do do backups dont you ?!!) with only the OS stored on the C drive (the ssd) it can now be replaced for 20 sobs or so and cl...

Re: From tape to memory card
some good stuff in this thread... I still own the trusted Z5 which has just been fully serviced, the viewfinder monitor fixed (common fault) and the sensor cleaned. Better than new as it does seem even quieter than before especially the tape mechanism and zoom. I also own the Sony AX100 4k with SDXC...

Re: Sad News - Howard Gregory
Sad news indeed.... Until meeting Howard I had never met anyone with the breadth and depth of his audio knowledge. He helped me a great deal in my quest for better audio understanding and was a welcome visitor to Newcastle ACA with his powerpoint presentations and excellent CDs on Mics etc. He made ...

Re: WIN.7 time and date display
Will be interesting to see what happens when most go over to MS 8.1 then alleged free upgrade to win 10 next year. .. wonder how many 3rd party companies have the resources to re write software/drivers based on the appalling support of backward compatibility from MS alone... just ask MS xbox 360 / x...

Re: WIN.7 time and date display
This is a typical case Roy and a method manufacturers' use to stimulate users to junk perfectly good hardware as they will no longer commission new software drivers. I have a state of the art canon scanner which is also not supported in win7 / 64... I keep an old laptop in the cupboard with xp on an...
