  • It seems like they are trying to provide Adobe with some feedback on how to make their marketing change more acceptable to DPR's readers. Is that a bad thing?

  • Commented on Updated: DSLR and Lens Buying Guides news story

    Agreed, and to that I would add:

    "the 1.5 / 2X crop factors of mirrorless ILCs offer less control over depth of field than full-frame DSLRs" While true, this is a function of the sensor size and...

  • Commented on Sony NEX-6 Hands-on Preview preview

    That's a good point. The screen does shut off when you put the camera to your eye but perhaps it's possible to activate some unintended function before that happens.

  • My old Minolta A2 from 2004 managed to pack in a tiltable viewfinder, tiltable view screen, auto screen/view switching, popup flash, and a standard hotshoe. Plus it had a PC synch socket. Still...

  • Everyone has their favorite elements in the existing test screen. I often use the detail in the globe someone mentioned earlier. Also, it's amazing how many cameras, including some pro and...

  • The Travel Angel weighs three times the Zipshop weight and sells for eight times the price. These may be reasons "why not?" for some people.

  • Commented on Winter Photography in Iceland article

    Undoubtedly true, but I don't think it was the author's intent to create a documentary. He tried, and I believe succeeded, in creating beautiful images that are unusual to those of us from lower...

    Raises cost and leaving out the mirror would have put 30% more light on the sensor, improving the speed of every lens used.

    The reviews seem to indicate the Nikon 1 autofocus...

  • Commented on Sony SLT-A99 Hands-on Preview preview

    I'm confused.

    Not so long ago we had compact cameras with CD autofocus and DSLRs with PD. The compacts all used live view. But live view only works without a mirror or the mirror up, and PD only...

  • Commented on Canon EOS M first-look preview preview

    Sounds like a bit of a disconnect between engineering and marketing...
