  • The real story is how few of us actually care WHAT happens to Adobe any more.....

  • Commented on iPhone 5s Studio Comparison article

    Nice straw man.

    "It's not a real camera. It's a phone with a camera." vs. "If it's capturing still images, it's a camera, and it's photography."

    So, which is it?

  • Commented on iPhone 5s Studio Comparison article

    Not one real camera to compare it to. I don't usually say this kind of thing but this article seems to be a waste of time on a photography website. I feel like someone is trying to sell me a kodak...

  • Commented on Fujifilm X-M1 Review preview

    Hm. I looked through the samples and thought, "The Fujifilm is getting it's butt handed to it by the likes of the Olympus E-M1 and Canon 100D" - and then I read the article's conclusion.... there's...

  • What you're describing is pretty close to one of the $29.99 throw-away cameras by Vivitar or Cobra you find in clamshell plastic in a local discount store, except with a decent sensor. Personally,...
  • Hey Hasselblad! See what they did there? You should take notes!

  • No, getting a dSLR (Oly E-300) in 2005 marked a significant improvement in my photography; it's when I stopped struggling with the equipment's limitations and started thinking about the photo I was...
  • In the past, I video taped things like the first steps of my kids, and them at play. Nowadays I film my kid's music performances.  My wife watches them later, because she usually misses the...
  • They ARE great photos.... at the 3X5" resolution they're shown in this article. If I wanted to actually print one of those photos at a reasonably size for display - life would not be happy. At all....

  • I'm sorry, but.... you've got the right time, the right light and the right location.... however, clearly, you have the wrong tool for the job.

  • Very cool image! Do you think the "colorful"-ness is part of the coin, or artifact from the camera? At ISO 125 I wouldn't expect that much noise unless you shot it in RAW. I'm really looking...
  • Yeah, I used to live in Canada and the same problem with just about anything you could name - cameras, software, cars, whatever. Not sure why that is; the Canadian dollar used to be a lot lower...
  • Just noticed that Paintshop Pro is on sale on the Corel website for $29.99, upgrade for $19.99. It's the non-"Ultimate" version without Nik Color Efex Pro or REALLUSION FaceFilter Studio. The...
  • Good to see that, looks like Corel sees a business opportunity and they're pouncing on it.  Still no DNG support, alas..... my Pentax Q remains in JPEG mode. Not that I feel a burning need to use...
  • "VR" or "IS" (image stabilization in whatever flavor) became commonplace maybe 6-7 years ago.... and yet there were a lot of razor-sharp photos taken in the 150 years before that. IMHO, taking...
  • My opinion: Get an inexpensive used dSLR from B&H or Adorama with the kit lens; there's dozens of decent 6-12 Mpixel cameras available around $200-300.  Get a decent beginner's book on how to use...
