I'm pretty sure that's chimping ... and I seriously doubt that anyone can assert that all pro photographers chimp by need and as a matter of course ... You found a sample of a Canon that you like....

Actually, it is not a sweet spot per se ... but rather a threshold. Right now, the m4/3 16mp sensors have crossed the threshold where the D90 / D300 sat only 3 or 4 years ago ... thus, anyone who...

Shocking is probably not the right term ... Try axiomatic ...

The Panny version (which he no doubt has since he shoots the G5) is f/5.6 ... I agree that the Oly lens is hopeless ... but the Panny lens is a bit better ... still, it is the contrast detect AF...

A modern entry dSLR like the D5100 and the 70-300VR are going to be far quicker to track the bird and will cost the same or less new ... so it is quite unlikely that a mirrorless camera is going to...

Agreed ... the G3 or GX1 and the pair of Sigmas 2.8 at 19mm and 30mm would be that price and an amazingly useful kit as well ...

I like the choice of dSLR style bodies too ... so for me, the decision was and remains Panny bodies and m4/3 lenses ... I dumped FF, then APS Nikon gear because I wanted great video and smaller...

Sorry ... I missed this earlier ... 1) Start by resetting the camera in the menus. 2) Ensure your battery is really fully and is holding a charge. 3) Make sure you set AF on single. If all this...

It would probably be a good idea to think a bit before responding. The burst is not intended to deal with misfocus, you are expected to be able to get that right on any subject that is not moving...

@Infrared ... Think about it and I am sure it will come to you. @dpLarry ... it appears that you have correctly interpreted my comment.

@Infrared ... Oops ... I see your smiley ... so you and @dpLarry appear to have correctly interpreted my comment ...

And how can you draw such a conclusion when Fuji's IS is sensor-based and has traditionally been (much) less effective than that in the lenses of Canikons ... In this case the answer is that those...

Read the first section in the article I linked ... many use these settings. There is much controversy on this forum regarding other settings. Use those at your own risk. Again, the link: Nothing...

Show us a few images with EXIF and we can give you an idea of what went wrong. The HS50 is problematic at full zoom when you shoot in anything but blazing sunlight .... at full wide I have never...

Since I can get a brand new GX1 body with Sigma 30mm 2.8 I seriously doubt that I'll ever get a round Touit.

Since I can get a brand new GX1 body with Sigma 30mm 2.8 for 400 bucks, I seriously doubt that I'll ever get a round Touit.

I quite like the HS50. Excellent lens, very good RAW support in Lightroom, and stunning reach. I quite like the X-S1. I got some lovely images of my niece last summer and the JPEGs are simply...

No, he does not. Not even close. I have extensively tested both and the X-S1 is miles ahead. No. It has a nice feel and a smooth zoom. The HX50 has neither. No, it won't. I zoomed mine for over...

It may or may not have silent AF ... you need to test that for yourself to see if it is adequate for your needs. On YouTube you can see some examples: On this one, the AF is clearly heard ... but I...
