The complete and utter disrespect and utter arrogance of Adobe.

So, starting out with the basics - I don't own or use Photoshop.  I have no desire for it.  I do own a copy of Elements but after a recent reinstall, I haven't even bothered to put it back on my...

According to the FAQ on Adobe's site, Lightroom and non Core CS applications can be bought outside the cloud. They are included if you pay for the full cloud service though.

Adobe's FAQ confirms that Lightroom will be available sans indenture servitude plan. That might be a way for amateurs to survive this. I agree this is fine for businesses, but I only need Lightroom.

Yeah, I think I've reached camera bag saturation.  My DSLR rocks a Retrospective 5 or a Crumpler Haven in a normal backpack.  My m43 kit usually rides my pockets, although I have an old Lowepro...

*looks over at his tripod*  .... In regards to the OP's question, the only thing I make sure is always on when I get a new Panasonic body is shading compensation.  I want the camera to add the...

Hmm, I don't have a D7100 or a GH3 but I do have a D5100 and a GF3 so at least a toe in both ballparks.   Honestly, I don't know that buying a new camera is going to solve the problem if you just...

To the final photo?  No.   I had a GF3 before the GF5 I have now.  The GF3 screen was not as nice as the GF5's, but I could use it to frame my shots which is really all a screen of that size is...

Was that shot on a tripod?  1/10th of a second is a bit slow for hand holding in many cases.  And if it was on a tripod I would try for a longer exposure at ISO 160.  But, assuming you got the same...

Aye, this would be my only interest.  Take a EPM-2 or GX/GF-Hybrid and put the 20mm on it and waterproof the whole thing to 10 meters.  Make it cost not so much I have sell organs to get it.   For...

It depends.   When I bought my DSLR, I bought it for it's sensor (the Sony sensor in that generation was the top of the line).  However I also bought it because it had an affordable "fast, normal"...

We're not invisible; we just don't make as much noise.  You don't hear a lot of noise from the pocketablity folks as Olympus makes perfectly fine pocketable cameras.  The E-PL5 can work for those...

Well, if you want to stay in the m43 pool I would think the GF5X or the E-PM2 are fine contenders.  The E-PM2 has the better sensor but comes with a "stubbier" 14-42 lens.  The GF5X has the pancake...

When I go out, I try to make the decision of "am I going somewhere to be a photographer or a person with a camera just in case?".  If its the former, I'll consider bringing out the heavy gear (a...

Well, other than the Tamron I believe those are all FX lenses.  The 70-200 f/2.8 is a beast of a lens; you could conceivably downside the lenses.  Keeping the 70-300 (which is still FX) and perhaps...

The 14-42 and 14-42 X lenses are ok. Not super but they're fine lenses. Obviously the X is more compact. The 14-45 and the shots I've seen from the 14-42 mk 2 are sharper however neither of those...

Well, I had a GF3 which I sold when I thought having two systems was distracting from building my DSLR collection up.  But, well, I often need a camera I can take with me that isn't heavy gear....
