Nishi, your eyes have pretty lousy instantaneous DR! They DO have a pretty good "ISO" range, but it can take 20 minutes to go from ISO 100 to ISO 64K (much more quickly the other way!) A brightly...

Painter is not the flagship Corel product; I've been using Corel PhotoPaint and Draw for nearly two decades! I also use Photoshop at work. I find the higher-end (and therefore not inexpensive)...

You are using software under license; some licenses actually have clauses that say that the license can change during your term of use. It's also likely that there will come a time when some newer...

What will affect your wildlife images, compared to an APS-C camera, is pixel density. If it's the same between a FF and an APS-C body, and your birdie takes up no more than APS-C space on the...

Why not get on your state government to cut spending? If you give the government - at any level - more money, they'll spend more money.

Nice political snipe. The NRA doesn't need to "bribe a senator" in order to have them vote for the rights guaranteed by the constitution. It scares the weak and meek, but the SOLE purpose of the...

... so see if their direct NYC competition, Adorama, has a better price.

The very, very best shot you get with the 100-400L+1.4x TC may - or may not - match the best shot without it, when the sizes are adjusted to match. You can certainly test that for yourself, and you...

This may have been mentioned, but 135mm on full frame (or equivalent for crop sensors) is perfect for head shots. Wider lenses for more of the subject, of course. It is obviously NOT focal length...

Heck, Canon's first pro DSLR, the EOS-1Dinosaur, had a CCD chip, which allows for global shuttering. All high shutter speeds were electronic. It had 1/16,000 as the fastest! There was no real flash...

Best to think of it as "full frame Super 16"! Those of us who have shot on such will know which lenses are needed. Of course, there's not yet a cinema-ready super-mega-ultra-hyperwide, and if there...

... in fact, I have Canon DSLR's back to the 1Dinosaur.   #1: Don't panic!   You WILL get good at cleaning, and after a few 'wet' cleanings remove any oils (from the mirror mechanism), you'll need...

The urge to hunt is built-in. When I see a wild turkey, I salivate. Perhaps you'd starve if you had to kill your own food. I would not.
As to simply "sport" hunting, as I mentioned, hunting is part...

1: Pictures of the inside of lens caps are neither interesting nor useful. 2: You are subtracting a dark frame ... from a dark frame! Set up a dimly lit still life, and shoot that, with and without...

Oh, pretty much everyone is "anti-war", including all of the folks I worked with in the USAF.

Reg, you forgot to take into account the 2x (or so) crop factor, as they gave the FOV in 35mm equivalent.

Wow, gimme a 24mm pancake (or at least a 28mm) and I'm in!

In the first place, magnetic cards aren't for your wallet. They are for the refrigerator, or some other ferrous metal surface.Also, a thin flexible magnet is very weak, and will not affect the...

Well, "for photos" 4K is rather low; many compacts best that!

You will generally find blunt hostility toward a foreign leader that wants to destroy you.
