I looked at buying his book, about 60 dollars in the US and 60 pounds in the UK for 104 pages. Is that what photo books cost now? Ouch.

Not suggesting that anybody is taking liberties or getting...

Very striking images.

I wonder what fraction of long term projects like this are by amateurs who just happen to photograph a thing they're involved in, and turn out to have an eye for it, rather...

I'm interested in a 35/1.4 or 50/1.4, to use on a 5d3 for photographing stationary/moving people in available light. I'd shoot f/2 or faster a lot. I'm more worried about getting the shot than...

On a tangent, may I ask how you got on with the 35mm length? Did you find you wanted longer/wider, or was it about right?

Option a) both are amongst the best mirrorless options, but I don't think either will be radically different from the RX1.Option b) I'd get a Canon 5d3 rather than a D600/D800 if AF is a high...

Is the image quality on an in-focus V1/2 shot worse than an out-of-focus NEX?I own a NEX-6, chosen over an EM-5 mostly for cost (they both did what I want). I compared them as best I could, looked...

Yes.Well, I guess analogue factors could explain why the newest Nexes come out ~10% lower than good older APS DSLRs like the Pentax K5 or Nikon D7000 on the high ISO DXO mark. It's hard to explain...

I thought that was a rather good review, though quite heavy reading. In particular, he makes a very good point about the EVF keeping the sensor running, which raises its temperature, which raises...

The difference in resolution may also be caused by a stronger anti-aliasing filter on the A99 than the D600. Many people thought the A99's anti-aliasing filter was quite strong when it came out.

Probably quite badly. If they are efficient APS designs, they'll vignette like crazy on FF. At best, I'd expect really soft pictures outside the APS zone.Also I think we can expect some early (not...

I'm not a sports shooter, but I am an indoor available light photographer partial to photographing people in museums and gelleries. So I have the same problems as you, only maybe a bit less because...

Sony NEX-6

Best all-round compromise of quality, functionality, compactness and price.

Can you rent Sony lenses, anywhere near as much as Canon/Nikon?

I think that would be a big deal for many pros.

Damn. Seems so close, yet its rather short list weaknesses happens to hit things that are very important to me: AF performance, AF coverage, AF selection, and ISO3200-6400 noise.

And I would adore...

Buy and use the FZ-200 before you sell the other stuff.Then you're not an idiot.

Speed of reaction to individual button presses is fine, I think. The issue is more that it sometimes takes too many button presses to get where you want to go.

It is a bit of a "how long is a piece of string?" question, but for what it's worth...I've shot about a hundred at 1/20 to 1/30 at medium lengths in low light and that was entirely satisfactory,...

Perhaps he thinks that wifi and apps are silly fluff, and PDAF is what's truly important. ;) [Perhaps you do too, and you're being ironic. :) ]Agree with Jawed, the crapness of the shutter noise is...

I have a NEX-6 and I think the menus/controls are the worst thing about it. They're mostly usable, but in no way great.E.g. it doesn't let you create shortcuts to functions, just menus of...
