As I see it, there are two areas where large sensors are better than small ones.  Fortunately, there have been recent advances which should improve the situation.The first issue is that smaller...

Every bottle should come with such a smile!  Watching the inauguration yesterday, I was reminded of your movie zoom innovation when the TV camera zoomed in about 40X, from the crowd to the...

No, the rear diameter of the TC-3ED is small but that isn't the problem.  When I position it in front of the camera at full zoom, there isn't any vignetting.  I clamped the teleconverter on a stand...

Thanks, Stuart.  I do take panoramas and stitch them with ICE, which is an excellent program and the fastest stitching software that I've tried.  One problem is that I'm most motivated to do...

Actually, it does something else useful when you use the teleconverter setting: it sets the Maker Notes field for conversion lens to Telephoto.  At least it does on my FZ150.  Then you will be able...

I've gone through this for my FZ150, which has the same 25mm focal length at the wide end as the FZ200.  Most adapters produce vignetting when mounted on the FZ150, although they may have worked...

I shoot 4:3 and then crop on the computer if the scene benefits from it.  I've discovered that I crop to 16x9 or square, or I use portrait orientation, but I almost never crop to 3:2.  Most of my...

Today was a beautifully clear day here in New England, and the moon was clearly visible in the daylight sky. Here's the result of shooting the moon in daytime: This was done handheld, with a...
