Not joking, I had the same problem a few hours ago. Probably a glitch with DPR's servers.

Hi everybody,
Just a very quick review of this recently launched Samsung SD Card on the V1.
I bought two of these, bulk, on the Internet. At first I was worried because the price was very low,...
-
I agree. In fact, there are several more reasons why I don't think a V1 would make be a good camera for learning photography basics:
It's relatively large and heavy. A far cry from a D300,...

Of course you pay $2000 for a new one or $1500 for a used one if you can find it. And I am not so sure it is optically any better than the Nikkor F 50mm 1.8 which I bought for 55 euros a few weeks...

OK, welcome to my ignore list. One more...

I tested previously this $8 52mm CPL filter to see whether it would degrade sharpness and imho, on the V1, it doesn't. I used a $2 40.5mm to 52mm step-up ring to screw the filter on the 18.5mm...

Jon,
Here is what I wrote above:
"A 24-60mm equiv. zoom, f/2.5 to f/3.5, with VR i.e. a faster standard zoom."
Constant f/2.8 is fine but may be too much to ask in terms of size and weight (and...

I enjoyed reading it!
Ah yes, it's a pocket camera indeed!
Enjoy your GR!

Hi,
I have both. It's just that I prefer to work on my Linux workstation (better monitor, faster CPU, more RAM and hard disk space, etc and I honestly appreciate the simple, clean GUI (MATE) I am...

Hi,
To be honest I was checking on the web for how to test for lens/filter flare, as personally I have no experience of that.
I guess I'll just shoot with the sun just outside a corner of the...
-
I always shoot raw + JPEG fine. The rationale for this is the usual: raw is like a negative, so that's what one should archive and postprocess if need be.
I like to have the JPEGs also, because,...
-
Yes, you are right. And when you wrote that the V1 actually does ETTR by itself, I think you were right too. It certainly does expose more to the right than my LX3 or my GXR, if one doesn't dial in...

Lucas,
I am going to test for flare soon. I believe my B+W multi-coated UV filter won't present any flare issues, not so sure about the much cheaper CPL filter.
But as far as photo gear goes, these...

An entire team of experienced, well trained photojournalists cannot be replaced overnight with freelancers with iPhones. The Chicago Sun-Times is losing an important asset, and I consider this...
-
No, that didn't happen to me (yet). I guess I am blessed with a V1 with a slightly tighter mode dial, it did rotate twice accidentally but I noticed it each time.

Hi,
These are four selected ooc JPEGs from this afternoon's session. All of these were shot with the CPL filter on the lens, simply because it results in more pleasing tones and contrast, for my...

This should give you an idea of how I was testing exposure today.
The V1 +18.5mm lens mounted on the Manfrotto MKC3-H01 lightweight tripod, outdoors, bright sunlight
I took shots of more or less...
-
Miraculously enough we again have bright sunlight here in The Hague today, so this afternoon I'll test the V1 again with varying amounts of negative exposure compensation to see what happens. IIRC...
-
Paul, yes, all my cameras overexpose depending on certain situations.
For example, both my LX3 and GXR will overexpose if I just let them do whatever they are programmed to do, in bright sunlight...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposing_to_the_right
As far as I understand, ETTR does not mean overexposing, but (having a live histogram) exposing so that the exposure curve is as close as possible...
