  • Replied in My oh my, ....
    Ahh, finally, someone that knows what they're talking about and who isn't primarily interested in finding ways to disagreeably disagree. What you wrote here may explain why in all of the...
  • Replied in just one
    Cheer up. I do believe that you've got a little red showing in your neck, probably attributable to some run-ins with what you thought was Mus musculus domesticus, but who is more the Mus musculus...
  • Yes, what followed certainly was. How about a followup with several thousand more words? Anything to keep you busy and out of trouble. :)
  • All cameras, even those using tiny "pinhead" sensors are able to produce superb photos if the conditions are right and their lenses are halfway decent. But there are many conditions where even the...
  • Are you sure that by "130% to 140% expansion of dynamic range, compared to its predecessors" they aren't really saying "a 30% to 40% DR increase"? That's about what I'd expect even if the X20's...
  • Replied in Fuji WA WA
    Correct. For high quality photos the WA adapter needs to be optimized for the lenses they're used with. Panasonic and Nikon have WA adapters for the LX3, LX5, P5000, P6000, P7000 and P7100. All of...
  • Did you post that photo just to garner a couple of uh . . . thumbs up?Another predator Es una debora (devoradora)
  • Driving with predators in the back of a car or cab (aka taxi) can cause accidents and even fatalities a small percentage of the time. For such small percentages, hardly anyone does the math and...
  • The half resolution M size photos are produced the way you'd like them to be. Here's DPR's description of EXR SN mode (which is also no greater than M size) and it works the same way in the PASM...
  • The sensor obviously isn't less vivid, the color of the photos are. That can be remedied to a degree by using different color controls, The fact that the demosaiced pixels are interpolated from...
  • Another use for screens that have more degrees of freedom is that they provide greater stealth, and not just for street photographers that want to avoid calling attention to themselves by facing...
  • Replied in Two tu.
    Aack! Too Broadway for Der Bingle, At least Dino was there to share the ignominy. It gave me an idea though (see below) for someone I'd give a hoot to hear their "Toot". Couldn't find it, but it...
  • Well, some owners have felt that their EXR cameras were possessed, but it's true, the color is whatever Fuji makes it. The color has nothing to do with the sensor type or whether the camera has an...
  • Yes, nicely done and doubly worth reading if that's what it took to lure you back to DPR's fractious fora.
  • Replied in Yes. LESS!!!
    "Chill"? Really? Did I say that the X-Trans sensor is terrible, crippled, has no worth? Get serious. It's a very good sensor and I look forward to seeing it used in the X20. But name something that...
  • Replied in Ha!
    You just wanted to disagree, claiming that it was likely to be a matter of default in-camera processing. Maybe, but it's much less likely to be the kind of in-camera processing that most people...
  • Replied in Yes. LESS!!!
    You have eyes? Use them. A good place to start would be with DPR's review that you quoted from. Just use one of the Studio Scene comparison pages and it should be obvious. These are on pages 23, 24...
  • Nope. The difference is small enough that most reviewers say that the difference is barely noticeable. On Nikon's own page showing the resolution difference between the D800 and D800e, it was hard...
  • Replied in Et tu?
    You make it sound as if Nikon and Canon are facing the future as Kodak did. I think that it's foolish to assume that they both aren't already planning if not designing the mirrorless APS-C and FF...
  • Replied in Et tu?
    What you haven't considered (or are unable/unwilling to consider) is that the market served by today's DSLRs won't shrivel up and die. The DSLRs will simply evolve into even better mirrorless...
