Agree with Kim.

Well said

I agree with canuck dave, on a grey day with a totally flat sky, compose your shots to exclude the sky... Grey days are also good for shooting within forests as the trees block the drab sky and...

I have both a Canon 250-D and 500-D close-up lenses I use on my HS50. The 500-D works better in the sense that it works well throughout the entire zoom range while the 250-D makes things go soft at...

Good for all of you. What has social conscience got to do with this? Nothing the OP said indicated his photo gig was for the good of society. Yes, I am indeed often willing to do things out of the...

If the motivation was to build one's portfolio, which is perfectly understandable, then there would be no reason for all the questions and concerns in the OP.

Why would anyone do free photography for an event? Just curious. Anyone who works for free has established what their work is worth. Free to me means getting absolutely nothing in return, payment...

So, you're saying that your photographs have perfect saturation levels, Dimitar? There is no such thing as perfect in a subjective field like photography. I personally like vibrant colors. People...

Can't imagine a camera I'd have less use for.

An HS50 shot with Canon 250-D Closeup Lens and processed for a faux X-Ray look...

Never bought a Hasselblad in the past and can't imagine doing so in the future. Overpriced for what you get, same as with Leica. Both managing to survive on their past reputation in a digital world...

Exactly. And, back in the day, snapshot shooters shot with Instamatics while photographers used 35mm cameras or better. Today, snapshot shooters have their smartphones and photographers use...

There's no way I could know, which is why I said I expect the 7D II will have better weather seals.

In addition to everything the 70D has, I expect the 7D II will have more fps (I'd guess 10 or 11 fps), better material, better weather seals, and dual digic chips. So pretty much the same...

Not sure how any of that is relevant to what I said. One photo being better than another is purely subjective. Without seeing his HS50 shots, his conclusion is nothing more than his opinion. If he...

And it looks like I was wrong...the 70D does have AF microadjustment after all, which makes one wonder what the 7D MkII will have that will separate it from the 70D.

Those are very pretty flower photos, but without posting the HS50 photos for comparison, what you say is nothing more than simply your opinion and in such a subjective field as photography, a...

I just installed the trial version of Photoshop CC and tried Camera Shake Reduction on a file with camera shake blur and was not impressed with what it gave me. The end result was still unusable....
