could you be more specific? I read somewhere that they specifically said that LR is different...

Just my 0.02: I name the folders by date and use keywords extensively, but I export everything in .xmp files. If you adopt a similar scheme, then consider YYYY/MM/DD, as opposed to YYYY/MONTH-DD:...

This does not mean much. There are plenty of reasons why LR does not pick the profile automatically, and in fact for me (I have a Sony camera) it rarely does. Try browsing manually to your lens and...

One more advice, I'm sure you already know: when browsing websites, don't forget to look at pictures of PEOPLE HOLDING THE BAG/BACKPACK. otherwise it's quite hard to understand how large the item...

As I mentioned, it all depends on what you consider "quick access". My requirements on this side are really low, so for me anything where I can open a zip and extract the camera is quick access....

When you say any price, think again ;) then have a look at (one if the variants of) the Kata Bumblebee Ultra Light...

+1 I tried several lenses in the 70-300 family, and the tamron USD is probably the best. The 70-400G is a totally different beast, but its size makes it less practical: you don't pick it for...

Hi all, I happen to own several inkjet Canon printers, of various "degrees". I recently tried to print on a paper stripe approximately 150 x 1000mm, but Canon drivers report that the maximum paper...

hi all, I was considering a 50mm prime for low light, and I think the choice is between the Sony f1.4 and the Sigma HSM f1.4; I'm not considering the macro-variants, as they are f2.8. Now, from...

Don't want to discourage you, but I would wait. There are a lot of very good general purpose free presets (e.g. Scott Kelby / Matt Kloskowski). If you are looking for something more "creative",...

Just tried with some 24MP images, but it seems to work fine. Blind guess: is it possible that the watermark you are using is pointing to a file which disappeared?

thanks for the pointer. yep, I don't think it's something that can be "repaired", it's probably a firmware issue / problem in the in-camera stitching algorithm. I tried the tamron 70-300 USD and...

I tried several panoramas with the A580 and never had issues like this. may be a problem in the stitching algorithm in recent cameras?

did it happen 100% of the time? I tried shooting at 10 fps, but didn't notice anything. could you tell me precisely how to reproduce?

I move top-down, but the camera was sideways, so the left side is the first frame.

With the sony 16-50, almost all panoramas are perfectly fine; I was able to reproduce it, but it's barely noticeable: With the 70-300, it's much easier to reproduce, but it does not happen every...

Hi, I took some panorama shots today with an A77 with a tamron lens at 70mm, and all of them have this strange pattern: a brighter stripe on the very left. Is anyone familiar with the problem?

Disclaimer: this is purely my personal opinion. It may be partially based on statistical evidence (like counts of starred photos, etc.), but statistics do not say the complete truth, they just...

I'll share some thoughts, I have both cameras and I use both, but I'm not in bird photography. No The A77 autofocus is very good with any lens. Looking at simple statistics, like "number of...

yes.  the only issue with ssd is that they are small; depending on which computer you have, you may want to consider an hybrid drive (like the seagate momentus xt 750). if you don't work on too...
