I don't own the 1Dx, but I do now use the 5D3, prior to which I used D800, D700, D300 and D3. It is true that the 5D3 auto AF point selection system locks on the nearest, high contrast target,...

It's an excellent general purpose zoom for the D800. Predictably, corners are soft at the widest focal lengths and apertures, but CA and distortion–it's other bugaboos–are trivial to correct in...

Nobody has to store their images online. But, yes, no more perpetual licenses. Which marks the end of my patronage of Adobe's Creative Suite. I'll keep my existing software until it becomes a...

Maybe this will work out for Adobe, but it won't get my continued patronage. I have never upgraded every 18 months because the updates aren't typically significant for the work I do, so a...

mook360, what do you feel is inherently more beautiful or different about these images compared to any other fisheye/ultra wideangle photos? The subject matter isn't particularly novel, nor is the...

I have to disagree that the D800 is a controlled-usage camera. To the contrary, its expanded dynamic range (compared to the 5DIII), excellent AF system (when it's up to spec) and potential high...

You lose a stop of dynamic range in the highlights. You're better off with a one- or two-stop ND filter.

Well that was just wonderful fun to watch, and you did a fantastic job shooting and editing. Thanks for sharing!

Nice. My only real criticism is the clipping of the red channel on many of these. You really do lose all detail in the reds on some of the images.

Color seems awfully red. Beyond "warm".

The improvements in high ISO performance, handling, general image quality and ergonomics in the newer cameras mean enough to me that, unless I was severely budget constrained, I wouldn't go for an...

In fact, if I get any gear that doesn't work as advertised straight out of the box, it does go right back for exchange or refund. I purchase gear to use it, not to ship it back to the...

I am not of a mind that a brand new lens should have to be returned to its manufacturer to be made to work correctly. Indeed. However, I do enjoy its relatively compact size. If ring USM means it...

I had the Sigma for a few weeks, and I agree its image quality is hands-down the best of all the available 50/1.4 options (it even fares quite well against the vaunted 50/1.2L). However, from what...

In twenty-plus years of shooting, I've only suffered theft once–and it was by far because of my own carelessness. I don't need (or want) Nikon or Canon or any other manufacturer to protect me from...

Maybe ultimately he'll produce a set of strong images, but the ones currently on display warrant neither the expense of the setup nor the aggravation afflicted upon the subjects. I wonder if these...

Other than a good subject, this picture has nothing going in its favor. Composition, lighting, processing are all uninspired. Go back to this location with a longer lens and when the quality of...

PeterTX, if you shoot at or near wide open and care at all about corner image quality and vignetting (as in, you prefer less rather than more of it), get the 24-105/4L. However, if you shoot...

I'm at a loss to understand why, if you love the quality of images you are getting from the 5DII, you would trade it for anything? I love the IQ of my 5DIII enough that I'm not tempted by anything...

Nothing wrong with noise at high ISO. Noise + detail is certainly more attractive and compelling than an image devoid of both noise and detail–and you really can't have both at high ISO. I think...
