I can't say anything about the US, but that wouldn't be a legally binding contract in the EU, where explicit acknowledgement from both parties is required for a contract to be binding. A passive...

If showing sharpness and details to your customers is a concern, then a solution could be to show crops of the most interesting parts of the image next to the whole, downsized image. This way...

So cameras that are superior in every way outside of resolution are a third of the DPs? The DPs are good cameras, but they're the very definition of niche cameras.

Of course there is a good reason to remove the Xenon flash, the capacitor.

After the battery and display, it's one of the largest components in a phone. As long as...

I find it very disappointing that the test doesn't take different focal-lengths in to account. Looking at 100% crops is very misleading when the focal-lengths vary from 26mm to 33mm. Naturally the...

APS-C is the leading system-camera sensor. Most units sold, and fastest developement. APS-C leads the curve when it comes to sensor technology, it usually takes a couple of years for said...

DPreview already covered this:

"Sigma's choice of F1.8 as maximum aperture isn't a coincidence; it means that the lens will offer the same control over depth of field as an F2.8 zoom does on full...

Well, shutter-speeds won't be 1 1/3 faster for the same SNR, tonal-range or dynamic range. The bigger sensor will gather more light for any given f-stop, meaning that you can up the ISO and get...

One which is from 1998, the other from 1993. Look at the pricing of Canons refreshes to get an idea how much modern versions would cost. New lenses cost more, as they are better and they are not...

And you take pictures looking through the viewfinder, not at the top of the camera. And yet, you're not complaining about the position of the shutter-button. The record button is next to the...

There already was one, since 2010:

There are plenty of alternatives that can match the MBP Retina for weight and gamut. Even pixel pitch, but not in resolution. If you want the most lightweight alternative, that would mean a 13"...

And the same could be said about almost any comparison between any gear within the same class, be it lenses, cameras or flashes. Everything comes down to nuances, and all gear is capable of...

Do you have that comparison in a larger size? It's very hard to tell any difference when looking at such small pictures.

Hence you didn't understand what I was saying.

Yes, it does. The operative word being *commonly*.

This has nothing to do with the question at hand: You've shown no basis for why a lens that is visibly better at a CoC would be worse at another. The Zeiss paper you yourself linked to contradicts...

If the radius is large enough. But for that to be relevant to this discussion, the radius of the test scenario used by Lenstip would need to be so large as to hide differences. This of course isn't...

If you interpreted the non-homogenous inner circles as affecting the smoothes of bokeh, then no, you didn't interpret them correctly. Outlining is what governs that which is usually considered the...
