First, I think the look of the site and the integration of the review content is good. When I was in high school I'd buy from the cheapest vendor.  Now I know that Service is a key part of "mail...

I've been a PS user since version 4 and a Lightroom user since v 2. I am up to date on both (Cs6 and LR4).

Right now I'm really questioning whether to continuing with Adobe.

I wrote something up on my impressions between the two a while back.  Here's the thread:  http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3337053 Look at the last post. I think others have addressed to two...

Great portrait shot!

Point taken.  I think it is somewhat useful to dissuade such posts, but how to do that constructively does seem a bit beyond me at the moment.

Only a few have reported successful repairs and most report that Nikon has not returned their cameras working as they expect.  I also don't understand why anyone thinks it is acceptable for a...

Agreed.  As I've posted before, I have bought, tried, and put aside the D800/E due to issues with the ones I purchased. Nevertheless, I still really want one and do look at these posts to gauge...

Well said.

I can't really criticize the OP for non-constructive posts and then not respond to this one as well.  I believe the OP was attacking other forum participants which is a shame.  When we disagree...

I agree that having a forum about taking, sharing, improving photography would be a good thing.  In fact, there are such forums. I do question the implication that folks are using THIS forum...

I agree that Camera's don't make good pictures - good photographers make compelling photos.  Why though is it acceptable for a manufacturer to deliver a product that doesn't work to spec?  Buyers...

My D300 does not have any "flaws" (read product defects) that I need to work around.  Why would I spend lots more on a camera that does have defects which require me to work around them?  I expect...

Why is it that some people on this forum can't be constructive? I'm glad your camera works for you but many others have had real problems with the D800 and D800E cameras.   A post that "pokes a...

Everyone above has good suggestions.Keep in mind that snow can be a factor, even in April.Here are some additional ideas:The view from the valley side of Wawona tunnel can be great. That's also a...

I've been planning a system upgrade and have been thinking of a fast SSD to process (LR4, PS CS6, Unified Color Expose) large files (up to 1.7GB stiched, with layers, etc.) and then put the files...

While your approach may be conservative and ultimately a time saver, let's not give manufacturers a "pass" for product quality problems. If we were taliking about a defective car which caused...

Thanks everyone! Here's what I'm thinking for the new PC: CPU (either Xeon, i5, or i7 (maybe even i7 3770)) with Hyperthreading. Storage: Local Raid 10 with SSD Cache (intel SRT based). Probably...

Thanks all for the good tips. Keep them coming!Just a fix in my original note: Current CPU is actually a Quad Core Q9400 running stable at 3.3ghz.

I could use some advice on what's the best way to invest to get a high performance PC workstation geared to photo processing.  Here are my objectives: QUIET for normal use.  It’s OK if the PC gets...
