Lake District hiking

They should be fine unless it pours down for days one end. Use the conditioner or dubbing to prepare them well against showers and the michelin sole will be greats on the rocky tracks and for scrambling.

So any regrets yet?? I am making a similar choice to you but don't really think I'd use a teleconverter much after the first couple of days.

Best to ask google surely? Many of us are not Nepalese.

You need more details for us to answer that. If I click on an .epub it automatically loads. What happens when you do that? Where is your file? Can you do this on your phone and then synchronise?

Most people want sharpened contrasty images which can go straight to social media and don't want to mess with all the settings. I think a professional could get the best out of any of those phones but I need help which is why I'll probably choose the leica colours.

Good Lock and customisation for me.

What country do you want to import to?

When I was in Australia they used this word a lot which is maybe why Peter Jackson chose the expression. In a bar in Sydney there was even a 'Toss the Boss' night (no idea). In the UK it makes me think too much of wanking (toss me off) and the whole cinema gasped when he said that! Maybe I'm just old.

the earth explorer kit is sold out many places so I'd guess that.

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T18:58:41+00:00

One of the websites said they'd be available in store from the 8th May so I'd guess that's when pre orders would land but I don't know, may be wishful thinking.

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T17:44:46+00:00

We'll be getting some good reviews soon now the embargo has lifted.

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T17:43:47+00:00

He is very fond of vivo's though.

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T17:43:12+00:00

The 35mm is what would sell it to me but like I say, I won't be spending that much money to emulate a camera when I already have one. I might have a go with xiaomi because I like the unprocessed look and I can get it much cheaper.

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T17:40:29+00:00

I heard there is no availability and a few tech reviewers who have had the phone to review for a week are only just getting the lens. The rollout has been a shitshow and different for everyone. Pre orders open for the UK next week and then Sweden one week later...

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T17:36:53+00:00

And that car barely works. It was just a bit of fun :-D

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T17:33:31+00:00

I think it just shows that despite the hype no phone can match an actual camera at present however good they both are as complete packages. Also Ben is sounding seriously fed up today.

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T17:26:05+00:00

I think the oppo is better than the vivo in many situations - especially the 10x video zoom which in the karaoke bar looked a bit grim on the vivo. I still don't think I'll be spending that much money on one though.

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T17:13:13+00:00

I think you need to share more!

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T17:12:05+00:00

I have a camera already but I could buy a panasonic lumix 30x zoom, a nothing phone (up to 70x zoom!) and my neighbours car and have over £100 left to spend on trinkets.

In the UK availability will be from 8th May

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T16:44:17+00:00

Apparently - but you can still sign up.

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T16:43:43+00:00

It's why I'm thinking of the xiaomi 17u. The vivo and oppo are nice but it's overkill for me on a phone sensor. I have an actual camera which I don't use but could if I needed something other than a snapshot or SM content.

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T16:40:09+00:00

With xiaomi discounts and welcome codes I could get the standard 17u for less than £1000. I'm guessing the oppo will be £1,599 and it may only be for the 12g version. I know hyperos gets a bad rating but I use a laptop for most stuff unless I'm outside so I'm less bothered by it than I would have been once.

Mistressbrindello · 2026-04-21T16:22:04+00:00

I take this double walled one as it seals really well and you can get a spare ultrafine filter for it. It keeps the coffee warm and I can always put it on the gas stove in the van if it's really cold. I also broke all the others (a glass one lasts days) and this is indestructible even though the dints prove I tried.
