It sure is a technical forum but since the vast majority of users are actually Foveon fans it is a fan club as well. But what is your point? If someone wants to discuss advantages and disadvantages...

I would have to disagree with the premise of challenge. I think that most claims relative to Foveon image qualities should be categorised as a matter of personal taste, rather then some universal...

I was surprised to see how aged their equipment is; by the look it is probably from the 80's. No wonder they have to test every lens. Still koodos to Sigma for producing some nice lenses on such...

Why so many comments regarding creating filters? The beauty and uniqueness of these images is that their effect is achieved without applying any creative filters (except probably for Barbara Cole,...

Larger sensor, larger pixels, faster lens, two-tone flash, instant multiple exposures, panorama with adjustable exposure, slow-mo video, very clever processing - I think it will be a great snap tool.

Since his prior predictions about D400 release were all wrong, this should be a good news. ;-)

A picture is worth a thousand words. Your samples at ISO 1600-3200 are very convincing indeed. I should have tried it for sure.

Yes, of course. I have nothing against post-processing. In fact, as I mentioned earlier, I have spent considerable amount of time with each photo, except the last one, on a) cloning out random...

Another great point!!! The only reason I selected low ISO is because I thought this is the right thing to do when using a flash. Obviously my understanding was too simplistic and I will definitely...

I totally agree with you Stacey; and this is exactly why in my "thank you note" I mentioned that my second option after the flash would be another camera body with better high ISO performance...

It is a very good point and I will definitely consider it. I was planning to move to something like D700 as an "upgrade" as my budget does not allow buying the latest and greatest. I assume D700...

Yes indeed. No, that was from the previous settings that I forgot to change. I noticed it later when shooting outside. I rarely use it on D300 so when I change it I often forget to check it next...

Many thanks to all for your responses. Looks like acquiring an external flash and learning how to use it should be my first priority; followed by a potential upgrade to a camera with better high...

Hi there, I took my kids for a trip to a dinosaur museum yesterday and grabbed my D300 with Tokina 11-16 2.8 to take some photos for a family album. When we arrived, first thing I realized was that...

Why not Nikon 10-24? You can probably find a used copy for just $150 more than Tokina. I have the Tokina and it's a great lens; this is my lens #1 for most occasions (which are revolving around...

Sorry, but this post sounds rather naive; like a post of a child promising never touch a pot on a stove because one time he grabbed it and it was boiling hot. Ok, you've finally learned the lesson...

Not sure how relevant it is but thought I would throw in a few (all shot with the original DP2, not Merrill):

Interestingly, I was going through my recent batch of photos taken with my kids at the local playground an came across a couple of "non-kids" shots which sparked some sort of 3D impression in my...

I have a very similar profile in terms of photography interests and just wanted to add a few cents from my experience. I was using 80-200 2.8 and 85 1.4 as my main lenses for family portraits but...
