They aren't getting rid of professionals - they are getting rid of in-house staff. This has been going on in IT for years. Welcome to the 21st century.

Nicely done - I especially like the lighting on the first shot.

Pure speculation, but here it goes. Nikon and Canon put a lot of effort into getting these cameras into the hands of specific reviewers, along with a NDA, all the time.  Does Pentax do this?...

OK. Wait - didn't you just say that your style is shooting 35mm in the studio?  Why do you need a 300mm+ lens? Okay, but I'm not sure why you are confessing your sins.  However, if you say 25...

Very true - I noticed that the new 35mm f/1.4 is now listed as available in a Pentax mount on the Sigma website.  I have very high hopes that this 18-35 lens will find its way to Pentax as well.  I...

Tamron 17-50 f/2.8.  It's not a horrible lens, but it's so much darker than any other lens I own at equal apertures.  I have not done a real comparison, but I would guess the Tamron is over a full...

That is such an awesome photo - glad you shared!

Won't happen - the GH3 is poised to be their best selling camera ever, and the GH2 was quite popular as well.  If anything, you might see them drop the AF-100 series if sales are lackluster, but...

I am reviewing some photos in Lightroom right now from a shoot today - I think my new favorite lens is the DA 40 XS!  I have to say too, the K-5 IIs seems to be quite an improvement over the K-5 -...

I just received this lens today, ordered used from Amazon for $180.  It's in excellent condition, and I feel very good about the purchase now - this could become my favorite lens!I don't have...

From a shoot I did last year.  Gotta love the Einstein 640's :)

nothing to see here...

I agree - it's one thing to say she should have intervened, but unless she knows that she could take that guy down if necessary, she probably did the right thing by staying there - mostly out of...

I concur - +7 EC seems to be about right.  And yet, I wish I had ISO 100 (or lower)...

Actually, that was kind of a tongue in cheek comment - but it is interesting to note that it took 9 years to get that far with sensor resolution in the same class of camera.  There are other more...

Too late.  Well, sort of - I preordered.  It's one of those things that I have a strong gut feeling about though, much like with the D70 - I passed on the drebel and the Pentax *-ist D (although I...

And more than just resolution, I suppose - my post was a bit tongue-in-cheek, yet rings true - it took Nikon 9 years to double the resolution of the D70.  Today, mine sits on the shelf for the most...

Very true - and I have been all over the place with regard to cameras since my D70 - Panasonic GH1, Panasonic GH2, Pentax K-5 (which was quite nice actually, but Pentax lenses are a bit weird), and...

No - 12 MP is not 2x the resolution of 6 MP.

That Nikon has finally doubled the resolution of my trusty D70, which means it's time to upgrade :)
