I my informal testing, the Canon 18-55mm IS is sharper than the Canon 18-200mm, the Tamron 18-270mm, and the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8.

I think that DSLR sales will be dropping rapidly soon also.  I don't have hard numbers to back this up -- it's just a hunch, but I am "in the business." The bottom line is that any technology item...

The inherent value of a particular aperture/focal length combination has nothing to do with how often you use it.  Whether or not it's there if you need it is the question.  The one shot you took...

That's not thinking, that's speculating, and it's an area you obviosly know little about.  Profit margins on high-end DSLR and lenses actually get lower as the price goes up.  A retailer usually...

In the U.S.A., without prior written agreement, the photographer does ineed own the copyright, but he can not use the images to make money without a "model release", so he wouldn't be able to use...

In what universe do you live in where calling people liars is "not saying anything bad about them"? Not all salespersons are dishonest.  And no, it's not their job to lie.  I believe in being fair...

Nope.  Welcome to the physics of light/cameras.  You can't have it all.  You can't use f22 and have it "bright" unless you crank up the ISO.  Cranking up the ISO introduces noise.  You can have 2...

You are incorrect, sir.  The Canon EOS 1Ds Mark I had neither the resolution or dynamic range to compete with most properly exposed 35mm films.

A. As an amateur photogrpher who buys a new version of CS extended every 4 years, I'm out. $600/year is just too rich for my blood. I may look into getting CS6 (if it's even available without a...

Vanilla is the most popular, though among certain segments, chocolate is the favorite.  There is also a large Superman contingent, mostly among 7-year-old boys. I've always been partial to...

He was a photojournalist, on assignment, not a spectator taking snapshots. Therefore, anything he produces is always photojournalism, whether a bomb goes off or not.

In a braindead moment a couple of years ago, eBay decided that sellers were intimidating buyers with threats of negative feedback, so they removed the sellers option to give negative feedback.  As...

We can tell the EM-5 by the excess of noise.  I know that's rather rude, but you keep persisting in your claim that the EM-5 is a viable match for camers with 4x larger sensors.  It's just...

I work for a Nikon Authorized Dealer in the US.We have sold the following numbers of cameras, with NO reported left AF problems or sensor oil/dust problems.D800: 38 unitsD800E: 2 unitsD600: 8...

Just like the best possible camera, the 'best possible time" depends on the shooter.The "best possible time" for me is when there is a 12+ MP full frame true rangefinder with Leica mount for under...

Look for IPS (In-Plane-Switching) monitors instead of TN (Twisted Neumismatics or somesuch).  Most monitors on the market (and any that aren't labeled IPS) and TN.  IPS have better color accuracy...

I went to Disney Florida last year, and took a Tamrac combination camera bag/ daypack -- one of the Adventure series, a 6, I think.  It was great because I could carry a body and 3 lenses, plus a...

A.  The D7000 has a focusing motor built into the camera body, so it will focus with all AF and AF-s lenses.  The D5100, D5200, D3200 and many other models will not autofocus, though they will...

Welcome to CAPITALISM. Marketing is designed to make consumers value products over and above their "use" value. That's what makes us covet new cameras before our old camera is obsolete (a...

A lot of people are questioning the f-stop "gain" claim. As I understand it, F-stop is a function of the aperture diaphram size to focal length; it's a ratio. If you decrease the focal length...
