@CFynn That is typical for a software company, and actually very high for companies overall. The money is _definitely_ "going there".

How does Corel manage it? Well, aside from repeatedly going...

Here, they're just using the word "cloud" to mean "subscription software", and they're only using it because it's a more-palatable buzzword. The software is still actually installed locally, so...

$600 over five years? So, literally, a third of a dollar a day? Really, cry me a river here.

Adobe's R&D takes money, and with digital goods a subscription model makes more sense than pretending...

I don't know if you ever got an answer to this, but just in case and for future reference, the answer is yes, they are saved. And in fact you can save them separately in the different, named "USER"...

I was aware of the reports, but just wanted to add an anecdotal report of it being better in real life.

I've been a Pentax DSLR user for a few years now, so I've grown used to the various strengths and weaknesses. One weakness has always been AF on moving subjects. Particularly, I've learned that if...

I wish the Bang! one said Click!

That is all.

This is the key. Decide what lenses you want to get, and base your decision around that. The D7100 and K-5ii are really very similar cameras. There's differences, but on a grand scale, eh. On the...

@Johan: no, that's not the case. DNG is just a container format. Proprietary RAW formats are *also* just container formats. Once the container is decoded, the actual conversion path is identical...

Yeah, but set the ISO to something like 400 and watch the advantage tip _steeply_ to Bayer.

I think what you're seeing is mostly the effect of Olympus's excellent JPEG engine. Switch to RAW and there's no striking difference.

I disagree. The _value_ of the RAW image samples is that they're all converted with the same software in the same way. If you want to see samples converted using the manufacturer's individual...

Yeah, no Pentax K mount either. They're aiming at the big two brands because that's where the money is.

And of course their own mount, because, hey.

Maybe they bought Pentax for a reason.

There's a pretty amazing lens selection, including, ironically given the wording of your complaint, the Limited series.

It's fine for you to switch to Nikon for full frame if that's what you want,...

Image quality is the degree to which an image matches a theoretical ideal rendering of that scene. For lenses in specific, I wrote a long-ish article on this at the Photo Stack Exchange question...

What? Reading comprehension again! I didn't say that anyone here is "agents of whatever force in disguise". Obviously, this and other Internet forums have tremendous value. However, that value...

To put it another way: Internet camera forums are a bubble, or an echo chamber, where ideas bounce around and escalate. Armchair CEOing without real data is hard enough, but doing it from within...

In the interview, Jim Malcolm says: Right, so this is kind of consistent with a lot of the research that we’ve done internally and it’s a little bit rewarding, and I guess that’s my big surprise....

How is posting "I love my [competing camera]" on a thread "rational discussion"? It's irrelevant noise at best.
