This isn't so much directed at the PP in this particular image, but rather this particular attitude towards PP techniques such as HDR, stitching, etc. in general. I've been photographing various...

The biggest issue would have been aperture. The Canon TSE 24 is a 3.5 lens. That's 2 1/2 stops slower. He would have needed to shoot at 15000 ISO and image would have been ruined by noise, or...

Because 60s is WAY to long. Even 30s too. 15-20 is about all you can go before the stars start to elongate noticeably due to the earths rotation. The only way around this is a star tracking tripod...

This review REALLY highlights a frustration of mine, and one that has exsited since I bought my first rugged compact about 9-10 years ago (old 2mp Pentax shaped like a square box), which is: Why...

I'm not sure about some of the Android phones, but I have an iPhone 5, and compared to my older Canon D10 waterproof, there is no comparison, the camera clearly blows the phone away in terms of IQ.

And without knowing what the camera was actually focusing on, it's impossible to know. I would learn to use the single point autofocus mode, do some tests making sure to place the focus point on a...

I would agree with most of this, except the 3rd sentence. There a some very good lenses without VR that you may want to get at some point, such as the 50 1.8 AF-S. That said, getting the VR version...

The 18-105 is a very decent little lens, but for the $500 range, I'd probably go with a 3200 with 18-55 VR. Very good sensor, and decent kit lens, save up a few bucks and add the 55-200 later. The...

Keep in mind that nearly 30 years ago when he shot Afghan Girl, SLRs were not autofocus, and most zoom lenses where not exactly stellar. A Canon F1 or more commonly Nikon F3 body with 3 prime...

Though, unlike a sledgehammer, there is no nail the DSLR can't hammer in, and hammer in well. Not saying its always the most pleasant way to do it, but it can do a good job. You can't do a good job...

The$3000 isn't a good spend for most because it has no shooting versatility. The $4000 FF DSLR does. And why do you compare to $4000, when $2500 would buy a FF DSLR +35mm prime that would easily...

I really like my Canon D10 if you could find a good used one cheap it would be a good deal. Not the smallest camera, but for watersports, beach, etc. i like something easy to grab and hold, and...

Good idea

If size/portability doesn't matter, then you will never be disappointed or limited by going the DSLR route. It's kinda like asking whether a RAV4 or a Landcruiser is better... depends on the size...

I am assuming you are using AA NiMH rechargable batteries since you said rechargeable, correct? These should work fine. AA Alkaline like normal Duracell or Energizer do not work well. They only...

Hey, I made the first slow Ferrari comment! ;)

A lot of good advice, but I don't necessarily agree with some of it. Such as "you have to have big expensive glass to shoot family events in lower light". That's simply not true today. 10 Years ago...

Honestly, with the subjects listed, I'm not sure I'd start there. If by "point and shoot" to OP is mostly concerned with an easy camera to use, rather than needing something very small, I would...

They don't seem that unbelievable to me. I think anytime a company puts forward a product that clearly is trying to use their brand name to justify an big price tag, but don't deliver performance...

Definitely understandable, the D10 isn't the camera I would choose for my only compact camera (much less my only camera in general), but it's found a welcome home in my pocket or pack for boating,...
