I'll have to try that tape trick. Your video illustrates the problem with auto sensitivity and live music. That sounds very compressed having no dynamic range whatsoever. There is also no bass....

Perhaps not as much here on this photo site, but I do see a lot of phone camera and cheap point and shoot cameras with grainy and NR smeared looking images that could look better even with a...

I know, it is primarily a still images camera, but for more than a decade, most digital cameras can shoot video. Video quality improved greatly 6 or so years ago while in many cases, the audio was...

There seems to be a misunderstanding in several comments about the aperture of the lens. As far as light gathering ability, it is a f/1.2 lens. In other words, with a larger camera (say FF) with...

On my CX format wish list is a 13mm f/2 (35mm equiv.) and a 150mm f/4 (405mm equiv.) to give some tele reach without adapters.

No doubt this new lens will perform well. It is apparently easier to...

This has been normal for a lot of engineering software for many years. I figured it would start happening to other software sooner or later.

I don't have a single piece of paid software on my...

Good color and decent sharpness at 55mm (for a kit lens). Early kit lenses lacked sharpness and contrast wide open at the long end.

I still have some criticisms. Some focal lengths show pretty...

20mp 1/2.3 sensor and a slow lens. I'd be afraid to zoom in on the pix. They make enthusiast compacts with larger 10 and 12 mp sensors, so why push an even smaller sensor to such high mp counts?

I...

Interesting camera if the lens can deliver a good image.

Typical dopey comment. Comparing The Nikon N1 studio test shots with some 4/3rds cameras and even some older APSC SLRs shows it doing a pretty good job.

Nikon allows some noise to show rather than...

Our carriers here in the US (UPS, FedEx) would have smashed that unpadded box to bits.

Seems interesting the camera was always pointed outward. In normal transport, it would be packed with many...

This is a great travel lens - especially if you do a lot of evening & available light shooting. One could complain that it doesn't go wider to, say 24mm equiv., but I'm sure it took plenty of...

I still have several rolls in the fridge I need to shoot up.

Good shot of Jesus :-)

Doesn't seem too bad to me. I do wish Canon would not process the jpegs for such softness.

In many of the outdoor shots, the 18-135 has a soft "dreamy" focus on the right side.

I bought a few cameras and lenses off eBay and they worked just fine. All but one that is. I contacted the seller and told them the problem. It was basically junk. Fungus, jammed focus ring. The...

I have no issue with hunting in general but I have a great disdain for trophy hunting. It seems so wasteful of life. It gives these people something to inflate their egos even more. They are some...

I'd get the J1 only if you plan to expand on it as it is a system camera. Another reason is if you use high ISOs as the the smaller sensors don't hold up as well when shooting ISO 800 and up. The...

I think you are right. It is a scam. years ago, I got a virus that would detect a log on to PayPal and then replace PayPal's page with their own form that wanted a bunch of my information. It was...

The FM-10 is a good basic entry level camera. It is not up to the build quality as the FM2, but it works as a decent film SLR. It is made by Cosina for Nikon as it has the same build and internal...
