I would agree with you about Lumedynes. The only negatives for me are the very heavy SLA batteries. Many newbies would be intimidated by their seeming rustic design of old fashioned switches and...

You should not be shopping Zeiss or the other premium brands if you want to quack price.

Samsung is calling you....

You should not be shopping Zeiss or the other premium brands if you want to quack price.

I think it is a little more nuanced in that the  the true professionals in fields other than portraits and weddings are still enjoying the respect of their clients.  The displacement of the...

I would include Bay in that number also. But more importantly, I would question your file prep if you are questioning the quality you receive from Bay. They, like the others listed are top quality...

It claims different zoom ranges yet it is a bare bulb flash. The GN is rated at 100mm? Further the specs claim  wireless triggering ranges but nowhere in any other copy is that mentioned. The specs...

Yes, even though the camera division loses money, they should charge less to make you happy?

Australia does seem to be  a hot market compared to the US where I am. While there are a ton of skilled photographers here the actual number of weddings booked seems to be dropping all over. I am...

Thomas, I really like your work. As a photographer I know how challenging it is to make something that looks like "happy accidents" from the seeming chaos of a wedding. You are telling a story in a...

David, The world has changed. It would probably best to view the changes from the perspective of the last huge change in imaging which was the invention of photography. Up to that point a person or...

I agree. I also notice that the asking price for used OM-Ds are pretty steep (to my disappointment).

You are correct. It is dated because the bean counters obsoleted it by not understanding it and removed a "cost center". This occurred for  a variety of reasons many related to the "people are a...

Interesting. Processing is a ton o' actions. This look is popular with brides shopping for something that looks high end. She does very well. The criticism about clipped highlights etc. are...

+10 @ Michael Thomas Mitchell. It is no place for sissies who got a camera for their birthday. I do not like weddings as it is just not my cup of tea. I do shoot with a partner that totally loves...

Information is, and always has been available. Today it is far easier to get than at any time in the past, but my point is that people do NOT look for it themselves. Just because you do something...

@Josh, Yes, I get it. But you are then trivializing its importance while defending its presence. If that is the case, then one should not be making such an issue of its absence.

The fact is that...

"I wouldn't feel comfortable in a heavy downpour."

I don't want to have a camera out in a heavy downpour.

I think the weatherproofing issue is a bit oversold as most people do treat their gear...

Noticed that the RAW was poor. It also crashed on me and was slow.
That is a huge advantage of LR where the files are imported with a great starting point dialed in.

Photoline is an interesting alternative.
Comes from Germany and is priced at 59 euros.
Seems to have a lot of features, is 64 bit and has RAW support.

As the UI is different it will take a bit of...

I hear the same rants whenever Adobe releases an upgrade (granted this time the wails are louder). Maybe all the previous whining about Adobe's greed convinced them that you aren't serious. ;)
