To some people, the weight difference will matter - to others the handling difference will matter. It's the latter group that has been the core of the SLR market.  But the original question is...

From what I've read, that's not the standard for recognizable.  Like most other tests, the courts would use "an ordinary person" standard as in would an ordinary person be able to identify this man...

Taking a boring photo and changing everything but one spot or one color to monochrome is an even worse sin.

Yes, but "great" creativity is rare.  Who decides what's low creativity?  One man's cliche is another man's classic formula. "I've seen it done before much better" applies to both technique and...

One problem with "a very nice shot" that is technically flawed is that there is just too much work out there is that both creative AND technically competent.  We are deluged with images: what...

OS mainly needs power - ideally it needs power provided only at the right times to preserve battery life.  That part would not be too hard if a mount already supports IS/OS/VR etc but could require...

An author writes a book once.  An musician records an album once.  You are buying one (or more) copies of the output.  In the older days of photography, a physical print.   You can negotiate what...

It mounts by pressing the lens against the flange and then turning the black ring to lock.

If they suspect anything (e.g., markings on the disc, professional lighting with backdrops) , they may refuse.  You can search these forums - people have even had problems printing their own work...

So, a "somewhat of a friend" does you a favor of a "Time for Prints" session.  This is a verbal contract - an exchange of services for something of value (prints, limited use of digital images)....

They don't want the costs of selling it you, i.e. having to both create new versions and security updates to current versions. Not to mention updating ACR to work/not work. They also want a...

Even worse, if they jack up the price 50% you either pay up or get shut out. You have no equity no matter how much you've given them. "What have you done for me lately works" all Adobe's way.

Most likely, integration with other CC capabilities.

Not exactly the same: you would still lose access to the existing installation at the end of the period (unlike the previous model). If the price was $5/month, how many would still object on...

Not exactly the same: you would still lose access to the existing installation at the end of the period (unlike the previous model) and you could not resell your license (legal in some countries).....

Hmm, what if Adobe had a software vestment policy: after N years or X hundred/thousand dollars, you could stop at any time and be frozen at that version. This option could cost more per month than...

Unfortunately, at least three of these choices are pretty tightly coupled: if the price were low enough and you could trust Adobe to maintain the price, then you could "buy" N years of use which...

Version is a slippery concept w.r.t. features.  It's not uncommon for software to have the trial, lite, and full versions be bit-wise identical and the only difference a simple unlock code.

Not a fork, just some capabilities in the code base that need a CC subscription to work. They don't do point release updates for the PS codebase - only critical bug fixes and ACR plugin.  They do...

If you want to be pendantic, s/CC LR/LR with CC subscription/g
