And yet, it is superb at all of those. Super fast, super sharp, one of the best-light gatherers in the lineup... Funny how that is, when your aim is other, your results are other. [wink] No, but...

So I'm out late last night, trying to shoot a really faint aurora, and I notice that my focus-on-a-star didn't get me critical focus. Usually does, no matter, really. Without really thinking, I...

First, the crop is just a little too tight; a little more room on the feet at least, and I'd go for a little more on the head, too. Second, the legs are very awkward. She looks like a duck, sitting...

I use it constantly to remote control the camera via my iPad. If the USB cable connector dies, as it did on my last camera, I'll also use it to transfer images, even though that's relatively slow....

For some. For me, what makes it stand out is the light gathering and its (relatively) low aberration -- coma, ca, etc. The bokeh is of no particular interest to me, or even serves as a drawback,...

I suggest we use a new acronym: NSFP "Not Safe For Prudes"

Because it isn't just work these sites are unsafe for, and it is strictly prudery that defines the "problem"

I can think of few things...

The two apps may act differently in tight memory conditions, or with GPU availability. Just a thought.

Wow. Good thing I didn't upgrade then. I used the heck out of those before Apple dropped support of OSX 10.6.8. Hoping to build some support for the 6D into my current version of Aperture; I'm a...

Lol... you got it exactly backwards. I think *Aperture's* controls are far superior to lightroom's. Not sure what you read that made you think I was saying otherwise. Can you quote something I...

No, I just misspoke. Haven't been using it long, just since Apple hosed the RAW support for 10.6.8. Yeah, Lightroom is missing a brightness control. Very weird. Aperture has both a comprehensive...

I switched because Apple dropped support for camera RAW in OSX 10.6.8 -- Wouldn't even have considered it otherwise. 10.6.8 is where I'm staying, the last upgrade was a huge PITA (for me, your...

Yeah, ok, you all had your fun. And now I'm having mine, and you can all nuzzle your "wish I hadn't said anything" teddy...

Other issues where the 5DmkII trails the 6D: Wifi, GPS, less weight. Wifi is useful to remote control the camera without wires; iPad excels at this. GPS is useful for any type of out and about...

Every 15 or 20, eh? Interesting. Thank you.

Precisely. Not just reporters. Nurses, doctors, entertainers, civilians, all the various non-combatants take some level of -- often significant -- risk of coming face to face with the realities of...

I didn't say the job was easy, nor did I express contempt for it. But that doesn't mean that the results of said job are automatically great. Yes, people take risks and get wounded in war zones....

Sure it can. The viewer may not have the background to appreciate what they are seeing. For example, the following is an image of extreme technical difficulty, of a hugely difficult subject, under...

Not looking to improve anything. Just objecting to the holding up of that particular photo as "great." Just my opinion, for which I laid out my reasoning. Feel free to disagree. Fine. But he was...

Simple. Set the camera on "P", lock it, and give it to the monkey. :)
