That would be observation bias... clearly the people posting in the Canon forum are (mostly) those that came back (and m43 trolls who didn't).  The m43 forum is the most active on dpreview, and...

Rather, a curved FF sensor would make sure ALL LENSES MUST BE DESIGNED FROM SCRATCH since all legacy lenses to date (the ones everyone intends to use on such a camera) would be compromised.  In...

http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51928618 I see that there are a few one-off solutions to the metabones EF-NEX adaptor for L-brackets , but hopefully something that is standard production will...

QE?  I am not interested in photon counts here unless it means actually getting my 14-bits worth (of bloat).  I see the 6D made it all the way to #72 .  If they managed to get rid of the low-ISO...

In a few weeks we will have the 36MP Sony sensor via adapted A7r for $2000-ish if the rumors are right... and it will be a big boost for my own TSE photography if the adapters/mount allow for total...

Sounds like Mom and Pop could use some lessons in photography basics. Maybe their accomplished (and loving) son can help them out?

Same here.  The 135/2 is "just right" as it is, though the 85L is sometimes too shallow indeed.  The only reason I would go to the 85/1.2 is that it is much easier to handhold for natural light...

Yes, the 24 TSEII and the 24/1.4II are both incredible for landscapes, not even considering the unmatched (in image circle FOV) 17TSE.  The 17 and 24 TSEs are so good, many MF digital users use...

Most recent m43 lenses leave out the switches all together, meaning lens-based IS (and AF/MF) still has to be toggled from menus within menus.  On my OMD 5-axis IBIS is so good that I only turn it...

Once you start adding large lenses, it gets large... I imagine any 70-200/2.8 + soap-bar camera is going to be the worst balancing standard lens combination in the history of interchangeable lens...

In my case, the main issue is that Canon has stubbornly refused to advance their camera sensors over the last nine years (my 20D, on the pixel level, is about the same as the 5D3 which shares the...

I am pretty sure neither of these reasons is correct.  The problem is in framing and focusing with such a lens where the rangefinder window is usually in the 28-35mm FOV (beyond 135mm, you would...

Right, and having (and using) both the EM5 and the 5D2 I can say, without hesitation, the FF setup for natural lighting candids is much better... unless you don't care about noise in the final...

6D, or the (still great) D700.  The 5D3 has the sports pedigree Canon AF, but it would probably make more $$$ sense to get a dedicated APS-C camera for that unless you need the DOF control (?). m43...

Keep in mind that over in Canon-land people have to choose between the (very) expensive 24-70/2.8L II (with better optics) and the Tamron VC 24-70/2.8 (with IS).  Saying the VC version of the...

It can't, that much is certain.  In fact, I am convinced the 45/1.8 for m43 is the single best compromise between price/size/DOF-control among portrait lenses across all camera formats.  It has...

Ahh, that brings back memories.  That article was eye-opening at the time, and I remember thinking the lessons might come in handy in the future (though a second tripod seemed beyond my...

We need your wisdom here: ???? = people complaining about other people complaining on a forum they shouldn't even have noticed since they were busy taking pictures and entering contests using the...

A very good point.  If anything it seems that the 135 format has held back digital SLRs for the last decade in that sensor fabrication of that particular size (IIRC, the APS-H format Canon used in...

This is true... but it wasn't always like that.  The Canon forums (lens forum in particular) is a comparative ghost town to where it was six or seven years ago, before the Nikon FFs were released...
