I doubt they are doing very well with their D7200 yet. ;)

Looks like a great lens. Lots of people will recommend newbies buy a Rebel with kit lens just because Canon makes this lens--you know because it's the professional's choice. This lens is for bragging rights and/or working pros.

Many are like "no peaking no deal." Others are like, why no ISO100 or ISO50 bla bla bla... Others treat every camera without GPS like they are from the film age. There's always something to complain about. Your need to complain is so great that having nothing you want is enough to make you happy. 1/8000, improved IS, HDR, new control layout, faster performance, great IQ, peaking, wifi, huge high rez backwards compatible EVF now with a lock, improved tilt lcd, is not interesting to anyone?

My vote is having to repeatedly pay. If I were one who always purchased the latest upgrade/version... maybe subscription wouldn't be bad. But I'm not. I skip generations because I can't afford the cost. I buy older versions when I can save money. I'm on LR3. I use Libre Office and will until I can get 2010 for a deal. This is by choice... I'd rather buy lenses and tools for my shop. ;)

Folks, the zombie apocalypse for personal finances is recurring subscription based services and payments that are never paid off. Cell phone data rates, leased cars (leased anything),... I know it would be nice for Adobe if I paid $3600 for their software over the next 10 years (If they keep their "low introductory rate" a $1 a day for the next decade. Ha! What are the chances!). But should I be forced to if I want to use their software? No thanks.

Not to mention people that don't have high speed internet in developing countries. I'm sure the power of the cloud is real convincing on dial up.

I think this may turn out to be a good thing for consumers and developers. The lights are up, the curtains are open, there is a huge audience with money in their pockets, and now there is an empty stage. I feel like starting a software company.

Adobe wants to start a dialogue? Ha ha ha... ho ho ho ho.... Ha ha ha Ha! "Let's talk about how we can get more of your money by providing you with less choice."

What? The future may be bleak for you, but this pictures doesn't change that. There is nothing evil about the human body compared to the heart that judges so many others without compassion.

A deeply moving set of pictures. Pray for our youth, but better yet, see them as people who need our love and care.

The photography is stunning. Someone get this guy an OM-D! ;)

Cheers,
Seth

Very enjoyable article. Thanks Carsten and DPR. I'd love to see continued effort to bring this type of content to DPR on occasion.

I might go from LR3 to LR5. For those complaining about corporate greed and incremental upgrades, just skip a few. I'm glad to see increased competition in RAW workflow with good programs like PhotoNinja and AfterShot Pro that fit many people's needs for less money, but Adobe really made LR pretty good from the start. The improvements seem substantial from where I'm sitting.

I'm not talking about Sigzilla type lenses or cameras as large as suitcases. Insinuations of this kind are logical fallacies. I am talking about Canon spending a lot of R&D to make a really small camera that pairs with their wide variety of 35mm lenses and billing it as a solution that is as small as mirrorless systems. There are a few small lenses (there always have been for every DSLR system), but the vast majority of Canon lenses negate the size advantage of the camera. When you compare the mirrorless systems (cameras and lenses) to even a very small DSLR with regular DSLR lenses, the difference is very substantial in system size and weight. My opinion is that Canon is unwilling to compete with mirrorless because it would hurt their bread and butter DSLR market, but they do want to say "We have this SL1 which is just as good if not better; believe us because we are Canon." Yeah, whatever Canon.

Samples look good, however, small camera + big lenses = not a cool as Canon want's us to believe. Olympus made very small DSLRs with the E-4xx series, but not until they got rid of the mirror could really small lenses be made to match the body sizes. This SL1 will sell really well for those just sticking with a small kit lens, but mirrorless means a much smaller bag for those who want some versatile optics.

Totally rad looking adventure cam. Wifi is nice. Lens is a little slow, but might be a really good package if the lens quality is good. We'll see when a group review of these come out at DPR. (hint hint).

I would like to make an appeal to everyone reading. Please don't try and match wits with the level of intelligence displayed in Youtube comments. Learn something about copyright law before snorting or blowing smoke. So may misguided notions about copyright in general seem to cloud why this case in an interesting one.

Ha! :)

Both systems brag a large array of lenses. Imo, some lenses developed for film are still great on digital. Most are not, especially as we get into huge MP counts. The newest lenses to come out are improved, but cost an arm and a leg. That leaves a lot of people out cold. If Oly could give a great body for Zuiko 4/3rds glass I'd be happy since I have a few nice ones there, but changing to Nikon or Canon makes lens hunting depressing.

For RAW dev. Lightroom suddenly has some competition from PhotoNinja. Some people also like Aftershot Pro a new attempt by Corel. Competition and choice is good for us.

Hey, great idea. I'm guessing the Rokinon will be better than the Samyang though. It has 3 syllables. So like 50% better.

Great shots and fantastic commentary. Good reporting DPR. Please do more of this!

The look on the cheerleader's face just before John gets pummeled is priceless too. ;)

Touch screens may be quickly becoming the standard interface, however, for touchscreens to replace the more positive physical "touch" of real buttons and dials would be a shame. As a feature you can turn off or customize sure, but don't leave me with only touch screens please!
