  • Replied in No. Canon and Nikon market share of cameras is tiny
    iPhone and Android dwarf Canon and Nikon market share. No comparison, really. I shoot with MotoDroid, but I think the IQ of iPhone cameras is better. As for the OP's claim ... snooze.
  • Replied in 150mm equiv is in an awkward zone
    I shoot a lot of indoor informal portraits and, as others have noted here, 150mm equiv is normally considered, and I consider, too long to be comfortable for that. I like 75mm to 105mm equiv, with...
  • Replied in For "folkloric" try Tsumago
    I have visited Japan several times as a tourist and managed to get around ok without Japanese skills If you want a town that is somewhat preserved but not too far away, try Tsumago. You can get...
  • Replied in Best place to sell?
    If you live in a major metro and are selling mainstream recent stuff, Craiglist works well and can have the best yield as there are no fees. Do not post a cell phone number on Craigslist: you will...
  • Replied in Paid placement
    Some marketing guy at Sony paid for it, and is thrilled that you noticed and it made DPR.
  • Replied in Focussing speed on my E 50mm F1.8 OSS
    cxsparc, I think you're exactly onto why this lens focuses a bit slower than the Canon and also slower than the Sony kit. On the other hand, even though I have adjusted a little to the slower...
  • Commented on Sony announces NEX-F3 16MP mirrorless and E 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 OSS LE lens news story

    "Lens wall"? I think that image is an exaggeration. Depends on what you are shooting. For my uses I'm pretty happy with the 18-55mm and the SEL 50mm 1.8.

  • Commented on Leica creates M9-P Hermès 18MP rangefinder special editions news story

    The point is that the degree to which Leicas achieve their objective for the buyer is not within the scope of the topics DPR can examine. Maybe Vogue can. All the usual DPR analysis is irrelevant...

  • Commented on Leica creates M9-P Hermès 18MP rangefinder special editions news story

    This is perfect and where Leica belongs, as a frank fashion statement. As cameras, Leicas have been irrelevant since the ascendancy of the slr in the 1960s. As fashion statements, they are up...

    I never use flash. Literally never. So I cannot say.
    I do not use this camera for high ISO situations. I use a Nex because the image quality at high ISO (indoors, no flash) is much...

  • Replied in Question: Sony NEX + Canon FD 50/1.5= blurry images at max and min aperture
    This is hard to diagnose with the information you provide. I am assuming that you have looked at the diaphragm to verify that it is moving smoothly as you change aperture setting when it is on the...
  • Replied in Wow Re: NEX 5n and 50 f1.2 lenses
    Nice work. You are out of my league, but I enjoy looking at your work. I'm wondering how much I'm going to use my 50mm 1.2 now that I have the SEL 1.8 50mm. I'd like to think I'll still use...
  • Commented on Just Posted: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V review news story

    So here some photos taken with HX-100V which is very similar. A lot of these pictures you just won't get if you are lugging 600mm of lens in front of an aps-c sensor and a tripod to relieve the...

  • Commented on Just Posted: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V review news story

    bartg you have been imbibing fashionable ideas among dpr posters that are not true. Bigger pixel sites does not equal better image quality when measured at any viewing size. If your equation were...

  • Commented on Just Posted: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V review news story

    "Coming from high end nikion DSLRs I new what to expect" Oh, you must be credible then. You own a high end Nikon, so now I know you must have valuable and important opinions. Good thing you...

  • Commented on Just Posted: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V review news story

    Hilarious. Everything is getting worse! That should be good news. It means you can get old better stuff cheap. "Strictly business" yea that never produced anything worth while.

    I seriously...

  • Commented on Just Posted: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V review news story

    Anepo, what are you saying. Are you saying that my photo taken at 810mm and 1/20 handheld shows some camera shake. Maybe it does, a little, but not much. Are you saying that it wasn't shot...

  • Commented on Just Posted: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V review news story

    Ianimal: Oh yes those foolish camera makers again who target the 0.001% instead of following your market knowledge that would lead them to the 99.999%
    Well, I need the 810mm. Isn't funny that I'm...

  • Replied in ppvl57 Thank you
    I commented and had a question above, but the post didn't show exactly where I wanted it. I want to thank you for posting these thoughts on the Sony forum. Some loyalists may have a problem, but...
  • Replied in Interesting report
    Thanks for posting this report. I have had the HX-100V for about a year and have enjoyed it very much, but have sometimes wondered if the Canon SX40 or another camera would produce sharper images....
