JCB123

It is camera to subject distance and not focal length that determines the perspective (compression in this case) If you shot a portrait from the same distance with both these lenses the...

Same here & a D90 in between. I still use the DSLRs for things that my m4/3 cameras cannot do or don't do well. If PDAF is implemented well that should remove the most serious 'doesn't do well'...

Well OK give them another generation or two to hone continuous AF and we loose another reason to use a DSLR. Then there's power management and viewfinders and remote control. Oh my. Maybe some day...

Not so. It also does a measurement preflash. My slave flashes have two optical slave modes. One to trigger from the first flash and a second mode to ignor the preflash. The RX100 works only with...

When you don't have time to change lenses the two camera setup is the only solution. That said your speed in swapping lenses will increase with regular practise. Avoid changing in very dusty...

You don't really need full frame for landscape unless that is that you want to produce very large prints. In that case you will find advantage in the higher resolution available in the larger...

Imaging resource have released their review. I don't put much store by dpr reviews these days...

I have taken pictures in the rain, but I have not yet owned a camera that boasts weather sealing. I use an umbrella , a plastic bag with or without elastic bands, my coat or jacket or whatever else...

Close too at ISO 125 but a contemporary DSLR is noticeably better by ISO 800 Agree. Its very solidly built but it is expensive for a compact. Nevertheless we bought one so we were clearly prepared...

Interesting that PDAF could be implemented, although it would need to filter down to the lower priced E-P models before many of us will benefit. That raises the question of lens compatibility. Will...

Yes Regards John

Oh but that's not current - must have been dreaming. Damn.

In most respects the D7100 is a nice upgrade, but if you shoot sports, action and/or wildlife then it should be a somewhat bigger upgrade. The focus tracking ability of the 51 point system is a...

Well you write in a very authoritive style but unfortunately you are wrong in almost everything you say. Diffraction is indeed a function of the lens (the one fact you did get right) but you are...

I think that being diffraction limited at f4 would be a bummer. The genre (landscape) that would benefit most from higher resolution also needs depth of field which means stopping down. 16MP and...

That's what's known in the trade as an AHV Regards John

If you cannot get first rate results from the RX100 at low ISO its not the camera. At higher ISOs it will fall behind what a contemporary DSLR can achieve, but at ISO 125 it can match the quality...

RX100 with face detection enabled will do this. Background blur isn't really an issue with babies since when new born they are in a cot or a crib or can be held by someone avoiding distracting...

The 560 is an all manual flash. I use 4 of them for outdoor off-camera lighting, and am very happy with them. Its a larger gun than the Nissin and it also does both bounce & swivel where the Nissin...

The magnetic ring self adheres to the front of the lens. You then have two options. Magfilter PL attaches magnetically to the ring but the front rotates - same as it does on any polariser. A...
