  • Replied in Backup camera ?
    With the grip that seems good. You may even find you prefer the D300...
  • Commented on MicroOLED promises even greater electronic viewfinder resolution news story

    The problem is that you THINK you like your viewfinder. EVF's really do offer a whole lot more functionality than that old-fashioned mirrorbox.

  • Commented on Wedding photographer explains the reasons behind 'unrealistic' prices news story

    That could be due to your skill level, your target market, and where you were placing ads.

  • Replied in Elephants...
    I don't have much to say about the pictures, as I was immediately caught up by the elephant photos. I just came from Thailand and spent a week at the Elephant Nature Park, where they spend a lot of...
  • Replied in The point you miss
    No, this is alamarist. We are most likely borrowing some percentage of the money used in these payouts, but certainly not ALL. And would you like to be the one to tell someone's starving...
  • Commented on Just Posted: Sony SLT-A65 review news story

    No matter the mass market demand, the sensor isn't producing output that is better than prior sensors in any absolute sense. Marketing hype has beaten out sensor development.

  • Replied in How to get good shots at a wedding where you can't use flash
    What else would you like to know? I told you the lens to buy. Is there something else you need?
  • Replied in How to get good shots at a wedding where you can't use flash
    Christ you're rude. I shoot weddings. You'll be fine. Get a fast 50 and shut up. What else do you want to know?
  • Replied in Just the opposite
    Almost all manufacturers have this problem, just imagine it with Canikon's enormous 17-50 f2.8 lenses! The built-in flash just doesn't raise up high enough to not throw a shadow in your photo at...
  • Commented on GoPro launches HD Hero2 and WiFi accessory allowing video streaming news story

    Stuck in the '80s.

  • Replied in Just the opposite
    It's a very specific test, shooting almost directly into bright light, so it may not come up all that often. Obviously this is something most photographers try to avoid when shooting portraits...
  • Replied in Just the opposite
    I should clarify. I was second shooting the wedding and the primary shooter contacted me to say that many of my photos, in certain situations, had excessive levels of flare. I then went out of my...
  • Replied in Just the opposite
    Could you post a couple examples of this vignetting? It seems highly unlikely given that the hoods are built for a specific lens. Why would they give you one that vignettes...
  • Replied in Just the opposite
    MRC is their multi-coating, and is supposedly up there with the best.
  • Replied in Just the opposite
    Honestly I think this is a case of not knowing what you're missing. You say you haven't had any shots messed up filters, but do you KNOW without testing? Removing filters dramatically reduces the...
  • Replied in lens hood?
    I didn't use a lens hood for these because I specifically wanted to test flare. I do shoot with the lens hood 100% of the time, however, and was still having problems. For example, at the last...
  • Replied in Faith in Filters no more!
    I knew that the bad ones were definitely not worth any money at all, but I was under the impression the good ones were really quite good. I think this is the one situation (shooting into the sun)...
  • Created thread Faith in Filters no more!
    dpr://galleries/3619433490/photos/1435777 Photo on the left is with filter, photo on the right without. Anyone want to guess the filter? Did it cost $30, $50, possibly $70?? I'll tell you. It...

  • Created thread GREAT job dpreview
    I just wanted to say how impressed I am with the recent improvements to the site. News updates, features, and articles are now a daily occurrence rather than weekly. It's refreshing and incredibly...
