A cheap solution: switch from caring about image quality to caring about photo quality. Did you like your nephew's photos better? Did they have better composition than yours? Did they capture a...

These cameras already exist (Fuji X100, Sigma DP1 and DP1, Sony RX1), except for your low cost requirement. I like your idea that they should cost 1/3 - 1/7 of their actual price. Too bad that the...

How much would you have to pay in taxes? What you describe sounds like a small-business operation. I assume you'd be expected to pay taxes on the income you get from this activity. Or is it...

Yes it does: a circular format. This way the whole lens gets used rather than its 4 corners being wasted. And you could watch it from a swing even if the monitor is placed to one side or the other...

I cannot compare the two because I have only used the Clearviewer. I find it very useful and worth its cost. A proper viewfinder is not important enough to me to invest in the electronic ones, but...

I am assuming you are not talking about jobs--like weddings where there are moemnts you are expected to capture. So, if we are talking about our own personal photography, I have discovered there...

Zenfolio (and I think Smugmug) and perhaps others offer basic service that is free and may be adequate for your needs. I used the free version of a Zenfolio account for a while and was able to...

What rude thing did you say to your local UPS driver 51 deliveries ago, that made him slam the next 50 packages onto your concrete floor?

This helps me: When I cull my photos, I trash the ones that are obviously bad. The ones that are variations on the same photo, I mark as "Rejected" instead of trashing them. In Aperture, this is...

I get those reflections from the protective filter I keep in front of my lens (UV or Skylight, can't remember). They disappear when I take the filter off. But I prefer occasionally getting these...

I agree with your typo (you left out "not"): It is exactly what you're looking for. For street photography, just set it on manual focus and aperture f8 and shooting will become instant. I have...

Using a GF1, I got most of my photos of my newborn using the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 lens. That's because I mostly enjoy taking a picture of a whole scene (e.g. mother holding baby, relatives looking...

I had similar requirements and chose zenfolio. Smugmug was my second choice. i liked the ease of downloading that zenfolio has, which includes option to download an entire gallery with one click....

It's been done already. The camera is called NEX6.

Slow enough that, on a GF1, I miss some shots of a moving 2-year-old. I think the 1-second difference you found is compatible with this. I have done no tests to confirm that the lens' focusing...

So, who woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Life is shorter than you might think. Worry about more worrisome things. Drusus

That did not happen at the San Diego Wild Anima Park. It was at a much smaller place  near Kings Canyon National Park. Drusus

I am not sure i care so much what these cameras are called. An amazing things about names is that they become their own words, more and more detached from what they actually mean. To me that's a...

The advice you are getting on this thread is becoming more and more varied, and so I will add my thoughts to reinforce some of the advice already given:1. Keep your OMD and use it on iAuto (not P)...

Neither of your lenses is well suited to this purpose. I agree with Tedolf's suggestion of the 45 mm f1.8. It is bright enough for many indoor lighting conditions and its focal length will let you...
