It's unfortunate that they didn't include the *new version* of the Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 OS. It's been out since last year and all the reviews I've read say it's an amazing lens, very sharp with...

The new Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 DG OS HSM "Sports" has the same optics as the previous version. There have actually now been FOUR iterations of the venerable 120-300 f/2.8, going to 2002. Sigma...

The D7000 is somewhat notorious for back-focusing strongly in low light. I know; I have had the camera since 2010 and it drives me nuts. I have even sent it in to Nikon to get the AF fully...

Photozone.de finally has their review up! Photozone.de: http://www.photozone.de/nikon--nikkor-aps-c-lens-tests/836-sigmaex5015028dcos From the review: Optical Quality 4/5 stars Mechanical...

DPR, any idea when you'll get the Fujifilm X100S review done?

The X100S is in the same category (APS-C fixed lens compact) and is probably what people want to compare the Ricoh GR and Nikon...

Thanks for the relevant and timely article!

After Adobe's switch to online-only, I'm sure a lot of photographers are looking for replacement programs... ones that you only have to pay for *once*,...

Great pics.  Saw Billy Idol in concert a few years ago.  He is still amazingly good; it was an extremely polished performance, and he played for about 3 hours non-stop.  I forget how many great...

Or maybe the metering just isn't 100% perfect all the time.  In my X100S review , I noted that the camera does screw up the metering occasionally - what I would call "total metering failures" like...

Agree with both.  Film is fine, but lets face facts - digital is here to stay and it gets better every year.  Meanwhile, more and more films are discontinued, fewer and fewer film cameras are...

I have the older Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 OS.  The new lens has a focus limiter, can be attached to Sigma's new USB lens dock, and has a different finish, but optically it is the same design as the old...

I arrived at this conclusion by reading the DPR X-Pro1 review (and some other reviews out there) and comparing out-of-camera JPGs with RAW files.  I didn't do it with my own camera and LR4.4, and I...

The answer is no.  It is the same as the old case except for the battery door flap.  It barely fits over the push-on lens cap, just like the old case.

Yeah he is way off.  If the Nikon D4, Canon 1DX, Nikon D800, and Canon 5DIII all can't autofocus down below -2EV, and there are only two cameras out today that can autofocus down to -3EV (Canon 6D...

This, or because the actual transmission (in T-stops) of the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 is actually f/1.8.  Which works out to f/3.5 when you add two stops to it. The real question is - why are you using a...

I quite liked the photos on your website.  Good work.  I think you've got a good eye for landscapes.

Glad that they are updating the firmware. Hopefully they will continue to improve the X100s' functionality and flexibility.

I outlined most of the issues I had with my X100s in my full review...

Yes I've got all their blogs on my Google Reader.  (Well, I did until they shut down Google Reader, then I moved to Feedly). Well, first off, I never said I had a "hard time with flash" and I...

Fair comments here, and some good points made.  Thanks!  :-)

Thanks; yes despite the fact that I had a long list of both pros AND cons, I stand by my "Overall Conclusion" section.

Agreed.  We'd all love to focus accurately 100% of the time, that would sure be nice ;-)  To be fair, the camera DOES get it right at least 90% of the time.  Maybe more, depending on what light...
