Well Windows 10 is getting more stable with each build, I'm sure by MWC the few phones announced there (Xiaomi, Sony, HP all rumoured) will come with builds that are finally acceptable. I know there's a risk the phones won't sell, but then if they are selling phones now and not making any money...

There was a post today on The Verge about why Android OEMs continue to make Android phones when for the most part there's no money in it. I was having the exact same discussion with a friend a few days ago. To me the only company that could justify it was Amazon as they have their own store and...

Yeah that has to be 9 months away. At least we'll know by then if the app situation can be resolved.

Reading these posts it's obvious MS messed up by releasing the 950 before the OS was ready. This has killed the last bits of goodwill most people had to Windows Phone & has tarnished it right out of the gate. I feel they should apologise to early adopters, give them some sort of rebate. That...

Oh and know the adage the best camera is the one you have with you. And for me 99% of the time I will take photos with my phone just because of that even when I do get a camera. But I will do filming at events occasionally and also I'd like a camera for when I go on holiday (and even then some...

Yeah all the Lumix range tempts me. Go simple with an LX100 and not worry about lenses, or go for something with more growth like an old GX7 which has come down in price, or GH3 or, or, or - they have too many models! I have at least ruled out the Z1000 as it's too bulky.

Thanks for all the replies (and that video). Ok you've convinced me I should get a camera. I don't feel the 950 will be substantially better than my 1520, and while that takes some amazing photos and the video is great - looking at that video (even though I know it's been smartly edited) I don't...

That's kind of how I'm feeling. The LX100 looks great, but I'm not convinced just how much better the video I'd get out of it will be over a 1520/950. Sure it's a better tool, has more options, will get better depth and detail - but will the 950 be so far behind that I'll notice the difference...

This is I've seen video taken from the 1520 (and some of my own) that looks amazing, not really that different to what I've seen for the LX100. Can you post a link of something taken on a LX100 that wouldn't be capable on a phone? I just don't know/feel it's substantially better than the 1520...

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

Thanks, but it's not that. I've had this problem since I updated to the preview build. So it's been the whole month or so I've had this on my 1520 that it's not picked up updates.

Yeah I considered the Fuji X100T/S, great little cameras, but the movie mode is a bit lacklustre. Some viewfinders are better than others, but it's not so much showing accurately what's in the frame that I was talking about, but the way you compose photos using them. For some reason I find...

I've got a 1520 and love it, the photos and video are pretty amazing. But there's times I wish for more detail, a bit of zoom and being able to look through a viewfinder to compose my shot. I also find my gf taking often better photos with her iPhone 6 Plus and feeling I need something better...

I've been running the preview for a month now, first 581, now 586. Works really well for me on the whole, the only bug I have is that the store never finds updates. I hit the "check for updates" button, it spins for a minute and never finds anything. I have to find the app I know has an update...

Accents shouldn't effect the ability of Hey Cortana one whit. After all it starts with training to match you voice, so if you train it with a Miss Piggy voice and then use that voice it should still work. That's the point of the training, so it's used to your voice - no matter the accent. I've...
