The main part of my channel is the Photography Playlist. I have a special interest in Micro Four Thirds system cameras, lenses and accessories because I find their particular blend of size, weight and image quality ideally suited to my needs. I have a wide experience of the system now and this coupled with my 40 years as a professional newspaper, magazine and studio photographer gives me a practical insight into their use.

    I just left a comment on another of his videos. I hope content producers will study that video and appreciate the gift David left us in all his internet content. I hope to meet you in the next phase of existence David. Keep smiling!

    David's reviews set the bar for this type of content. His first hand opinions are explained and illustrated. His points are clearly understood. He covers the subject in a manner that leaves a clear and complete story. His content doesn't contain worthless dribble like "I love how it feels", "awesome" and so on. He uses valid comparisons and demonstrates the difference in his content instead of "telling" them. Very well done sir!

    I find that the Canon 350D makes better and cleaner pictures. In fact I dont use the LX100 cos when I get home and look at the pictures I can hardly find anyone that I like.

    I only discovered on Saturday that you are no longer with us. It's strange, I hadn't heard your distinctive voice for a long time and suddenly KZread displayed your video as a suggestion. I began watching your video and immediately I thought, I haven't heard that voice for ages. I then read the comments and your daughter's message re your passing. It came to quite a shock to me, a man who I didn't know, but whose voice I recognised immediately. I am saddened to hear the news and I wish your family well, even if it is a few years now. Rest in peace David ✝️

    I got this very bag from David when he was already poorly and still use it every single day whilst commuting in London... It reminds me of our time spent in assorted cafes, talking about gear, photojournalism, his career and mine. It was great to call David a friend.

    Been away from photography for a few years and just learned that David has sadly passed. His channel really stood out from every other photography channel. To begin with, I found it a bit boring, I must admit, but it sure did grow on me. The low tempo was such a breeze, and I really enjoyed his work. David was a go-to and certainly one whose opinion mattered. He came across as a true British gentleman. If anything, my comment shows that this channel is still alive. David's words still resonate with heaps of people out there, and I'm sure I won't be the last person who'll get a bit blue learning David is no longer here. Rest in peace David.
