Replied in Crop vs. FF equivalent with class L
Read the original post. The original question of this thread was crop vs full frame equivalents. I debunked the claim that a non-existing EF24-70 IS on FF would be the equivalent for the excellent...

Replied in Crop vs. FF equivalent with class L
f/2.8 is just a number.
There is nothing the EF-S17-55 f/2.8 IS USM does better on crop when compared to the EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM on full frame (if using similar generation cameras). Plus the...

Replied in Broken USB port on 5DII, options for organized transfers using CF reader?
What else then? Are you saying that you actually remove your CF card with its brittle, multi-pin connector each time you want to transfer some images?
What's the weirdness? The people who lose...

Replied in Lens advice moving to FF
Hello!
You've already received many great answers, but one potential lens option has been completely ignored: the Samyang 14mm f/2.8 UMC. If there ever was a lens where there was a discrepancy...

Commented on Hands-on with Samsung NX20, heading refreshed lineup with NX210 and NX1000 news story
"super-wide 2.35:1 aspect ratio (the aspect ratio that many pre-1970 movies were projected in)" Actually, big budget movies are still almost always presented in the 2.35:1 format at cinemas.

Replied in First time FF, lost in lenses
As you probably know, one stop is the diameter ratio of sqrt(2). Now, 26.3 mm / 19.6 is almost sqrt(2). Admittedly, if the field of view of the systems that are being compared are not similar, this...

Replied in First time FF, lost in lenses
What I tried to say was that if you are taking a portrait, /and/ if you have the option of moving back and forth for your ideal framing, the maximum background blurring capability of the 24-105...

Replied in First time FF, lost in lenses
I'm going to comment only one lens selection of your list:
Why would you be annoyed by f/4 on FF? It is, after all, for all intents and purposes the equivalent of f/2.5 on 1.6 crop....

Replied in EF-S 17-55 Priced Too High?
I'm afraid you missed my point. I was comparing the 17-55 on crop against the 24-105 on FF.
The point of my message was that although FF camera bodies are necessarily more expensive than their...

Replied in EF-S 17-55 Priced Too High?
Actually, the closest Full Frame alternative is the EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM. The 24-105 on FF has:
- better focal length range (17-55 only equivalent to 27-88 mm)
- better DoF control 1: small 1/3...

Replied in 5D3 or 1DX for Big Glass?
Have you ever considered expanding to /mixed-sex/ or at the very least /womanly/ weddings? It might give you more work opportunities than the relatively rare /manly/ weddings.
(Sorry, I tried to...

Commented on Fujifilm promises 'definitive solution' to X10 white orb problem news story
I don't know if you're joking/trolling or not. In case you aren't: the "orbs" discussed in your link are out-of-focus dust particles lit by the on-board camera flash. This happens with any P&S...

Replied in Cherry picking gets you whatever result you want
Without going further in the cherry picking nature of your "comparison", I'll just correct this piece of information in your table:
These prices are all incorrect.

Replied in Nokia 808 Pureview 41 Megapixel Phone : How This Phone Compares To N8 In Low Ligh
Yes, it is. There's another thread in this same forum, titled /Nokia 808 Pureview - 41mp downsampling sensor/, which you might want to...

Replied in Nokia 808 Pureview - 41mp downsampling sensor
Exactly!
I provided a calculation earlier in this thread of what the sensor size of the 808 would be, but apparently it was incorrect. The right number seems to be in the ballpark of 10.7 x 7.5...

Replied in Nokia 808 Pureview - 41mp downsampling sensor
During the years I've participated at DPreview, I've seen endless speculation of what would happen if someone built a sensor with a pixel count ridicluously beyond diffraction limits, then created...

Replied in Won't solve the problem at hand
Not quite. However much I push the "High Speed Sync / Shutter Curtain" button, rear curtain cannot be selected on the flash unit when in auto-tyristor / external metering mode. Same is true with...

Replied in Won't solve the problem at hand
I tried this with the same 5D2 + 580EX II combination as earlier in this thread using an exposure time of 1/2s. Couldn't do it. The flash refused to go into 2nd curtain sync mode in the...
