It is too early to call time on electric cars and I agree with CB the plug-in hybrid could be a good solution, once developed further. EURO VII will probably focus more on fuel usage rather than cleaning the emissions more than EURO VI, and a lot of us have days when the car travels less than 50 miles. Still we would need more nuclear power stations.......

The hybrid solves the range issue but introduces complexity and expense. What'll kill electric cars and hybrid cars will be the fact that battery manufacture is a very, very dirty business involving a lot of elements that are hard to dispose of or recycle. That and the fact that the minute the govt starts taxing electricity used in cars at the same rate as petrol they become completely uneconomic. In fact electric cars already cost more to run than an average petrol car as an article in last week's ST showed.

Quote: Wouldn't a photographer buy whichever body fitted his/her lenses. Aren't small differences in performance are more than outweighed by the differences in skill?

Yes quite agree for most photographers, but if you were starting out what system would you buy into, or if you had loads of cash what would you buy, or if you were in the top 1% of photographers would this make the difference to elevate you just that bit extra?

Note, these overall scores often take account of things like ISO that may not affect studio photographers etc. So its not always relevant to your style.

It seems that all the photographer I like most all have a variety of systems so I can't tell which is better or not, as you say its more about skill at that level.
