"A terrible place," according to one Norwegian who spend many months there. Yes, Antartica is "Wonderful," or you'd better convince sponsors it is, if you are trying to raise money for a...

Well, Mr. He-Man, What if the 750 lbs mom were close by?

A free app! Worth an IPO of its own! Shares offered at $1 would be an infinite multiple of earnings, sure, but think of the potential. The sky is the limit. Risks? Nah.

The same is true when people chatter about cars, sports teams, homes, kids, pets, wine, or vacation destinations: 50% bragging for one's own and 50% discrediting the others.

To be fair, though, a...

LSE: "whichever camera has the better output after that will be the ideal rig for video shooters south of 3.5K."

Why? The Canon XF100, HXR-NX70U, JVC GY-HM150U sell for under $3k. The Canon...

Nothing new. Gulliver also saw the people of Lilliput and Brobdingnag bicker over absurdities.

People often have rigid views about things they never saw or touched. Their staunchest opinions are...

One picture shows the camera plunging into water. That implies it would survive more than just a spattering of rain, spill from a drink, or expectoration from an unappreciative subject.

Maybe DPR...

Evidence why it's best to go hiking in wild country accompanied by a slow person (bait) encumbered by heavy camera equipment or a lot of bear belly.

A travel zoom is designed for unrehearsed "street shots" or casually composed pictures for which manual controls are impractical or irksome. The manual controls you want would be very difficult to...

There will be a niche for rugged / tough or pocket zoom cameras that allow things that cell phones don't or which make a phone to ungainly or expensive.

What share of G-series m4/3 owners use the f/4.0 14-140mm lens more often than any other? If you had just $650 to squander on another lens, would you pick that one or the new 12-35mm?

This new...

No, Raist3d. I'm sure the "experts" around here use high ISO only to whet their obsession with pixel peeping. They avoid nightlife and leave the weddings ASAP. If they take night shots at all,...

Look at the fixed F/2.8 50mm a77 kit lens. It is three times the size and weight of a NEX body.
The 14-140mm Panny m4/3 lens is smaller, but only F/4 at the wide end.

Sony won't because it makes no money, net of royalties, on the Zeiss lenses. Sony also figures that a buyer's budget maxes out after getting the two kit lenses anyway. Limiting the NEX lens...

The 5N shoots 1080 60p video, which the F3 seems not to offer. Perhaps no big deal, since 60p video is hard to share. A F3 buyer may miss the clicking noise one years in 5N audio, if not sent to...

It's a joke to steer someone on a $500 budget towards system cameras. The GF camera with the 12mm f/2.5 lens is OK, but you'd need to spend another $400 or more to get a tele or zoom lens. ...

Now you know why most party scenes in Hollywood movies look as though they were shot at daytime or with studio lights. They were! Editing products do provide a variety of tools to boost gain,...

Interesting. Does Photoshopt CS6 have a utility to export a "Burnsian" video file based on a still, or did you import the file into Premier Pro and employ a PAZ animation therein? How do the...

Yes, there are serious books. But I suspect that many practicioners (some of them probably dyslexic) learn the same way they learned to tie shoes, ride bicycles, or play baseball. Some issues...

Sony has other priorities, obviously. The division that builds the camera bodies has clout at senior levels and needs a new project each year to keep its boss with a project that will earn...
