So where are the free market people trumpeting the choices they have as an alternative to Adobe?

So far it is just lots of ranting about price.

After the rants will people really change? Do they...

Yes, OSX has not supported  Power PC versions of the SW since 10.6. Rosetta (bundled with earlier versions) did enable Power PC SW to run on 10.5 but is no longer supported on the latest OS. I am...

I can understand the annoyance or even outrage of many who object to this change by Adobe. However it has been hinted at for several years through the gradual adoption of more cloud services and...

I think the bug issue is overblown as they can incrementally add features that have been thoroughly vetted and de-bugged before release. This allows a constant dribble of features and...

I guess this will sort the wheat from the chaff.

Pros who make money from PS will subscribe if and when they ultimately need to. The rest will migrate to cheap or free alternatives.
Many will hold...

It would be cool to have the original Pen shutter that synced at all shutter speeds up to 1/1000. It was some kind of funky focal plane shutter but it would sync at all speeds. We are a bit spoiled...

I agree but they like their sales of the OM-D. Also we can cast our minds back to the E-Volt 330 for a digital SLR with a "different" look. Sales stank but it was actually true to the old Pen theme.

You could just shoot OOF.

@raincoat. actually the fact that you can get feature enhancements AND bug fixes for your large investment is a credit to Canon. Considering the complexity of actually engineering and building a...

I think you are asking two questions. 1. How to make a shited panorama. 2. How to make a stitched image to maximize angle of view. In the first  case I just shift the lens from left to right or up...

I remember the days when the main reason we chose a fast lens was for the additional shutter speeds we could gain for low light shooting. The difference in cost in buying a body with the 50mm...

and find out. Charts and tests are meaningless compared to how you shoot and what you shoot. A great lens won't make a cr@p photographer magically better. You may find that what some describe as...

Maybe, but there is a giant installed base of APS-C and thus less risk. If this is successful FF will follow with a base of believers to sell to on the strength of this lens.

Sigma has done a great job of developing a lens that people have been clamoring for yet we get all sorts of carping about it not being FF, the aperture is "functionally f 2.7" they use "tricks"...

I guess we will have to wait til you show us your design then. I am sure you won't resort to such "tricks" like using glass or metal.

The weight is proof that such lenses are not going to be small. As for the fact that the "competition" has a larger range and lighter weight, they don't have f1.8. Nor will it be cheaper.
It exists...

I shoot a lot of architecture in my business. The most critical decision is where to stand. That dictates the needed FOV and thus the FL.  A zoom is super useful in eliminating the weight of...

While I am a great admirer of the fixed FL of the X-100 and would use it for a walkabout photo jaunt, I would not want to be limited to it on a trip or on a professional job. Zooming with your feet...

I feel that the EVF was a key feature of the camera. The X-trans sensor is a key feature also but coupled with the EVF it positions the camera as a premium item for serious photographers. A plain...
