How much is perfection worth? Well, maybe not perfection, put certainly an entire can of pretty-dang-good. People have paid so much more for so much less, optically. But all that said, if you look...

Try 'leasing intellectual property', Deano.

Of the wrong lens.

This might just be the dawn of some serious GD piracy. I picture hackers doing high-fives all over India, eastern Europe and Russia. Imagine when the only 'real' (non-cloud) version of Photoshop...

Only you can say in this case because you rate your current cameras as adequate for your needs. That makes any improvement a G5 brings by definition a luxury, and only you can say how much luxuries...

I've had my OMD for a year now, and it's worth 80-90% of what I paid. Exactly why should I have waited that year? You'll suffer greater depreciation in the first year of an OMD bought now. The...

It's the ocean.

Yes, a bit of flash would really open up the detail in the lower half of the spider's face. Something like the supplied clip-on flash set to -2EV. Or a hotshoe flash like an Olympus FL36/600/50R...

Unless it's something like a Digital Rebel, you'll have to spend a bit deeper to get a good enough sensor to make this all work. The very cheapest body I can recommend would be the Panasonic G5. It...

To be honest it would be more praise for Panasonic, as Marumi has proven to be one the best polarizers available. You can buy real ones via ebay from the seller eventcameras. I have purchased the...

I bought mine a year ago or so for $168 shipped. I don't see the guy listing any now. But I've not heard anybody with a tale of woe. It seems most, if not all, the Hong Kong-based ebay sellers have...

Numbers be damned, the 12-35 is one very sharp lens. Exceedingly so for a zoom. Certainly sharp enough, if not precisely as sharp as the 12/2.0. The only real downside (other than price) of the...

Really nice shots. The flower shots are beyond reproach. A touch of fill on the spider's face would have taken that shot from really nice to perfect. The 60M is one of the two m43s lenses worth...

My understanding is that these are produced by Marumi, and as such would be multi-coated and of good quality. You can purchase Marumi branded filters for very attractive prices via ebay.

You've noticed the problem with your 12MP Oly - they like to blow the highlights. Other than that, they are pretty good. The Sony 16MP sensor fixes that as decisively as possible given the pixel...

Jim,

As I have both a G5 and an OMD in the house, perhaps you'll spare me your definition of what the difference 'actually' is. I've shot the cameras; I know. A lifetime of DXOMark study will not...

I think less customization would be needed if a little common sense entered the determination of the default controls for most modern cameras.

To whit - only Pentax can figure out that in the...

The G5, whether you fancy it the greatest or worst camera of all time, was consigned to the bargain bin by its unexciting sensor choice - at a time when that decision made a lot more sense than...

This is one of the fundamental cornerstones of photography. All lenses have a finite depth of field, it has just gone unnoticed until now. less focal length higher f-stop greater distance to...

I picked up 10 of these $5 via a Wolf Camera closeout on ebay. They are perfect for the 14, 20 and 25mm Pannys.
