There's a strange beauty to these images. Looking at them I was wondering if the dark specks of ant-like details were cattle and indeed they are. Watch the trailer linked to Vimeo from this...

Didn't use one of those, but did use an Apple quicktake 150, which looks like it was based on this design. They were essentially 'still video' cameras and the quality was truly awful - really very...

What the hell are Panasonic playing at - I'm used to the top two or three sensitivites on any given camera being only good for bragging rights.

These high ISO real world shots actually look like...

Does it lack an AA filter? I've not seen that mentioned anywhere. I was looking at the converging 'resolution' lines and there really isn't anything to choose between them in RAW. Seems to be a...

Fair enough, but you aren't stuck with one lens, are you? - and don't forget the 20mm f1.7II is offered as a kit option with the GX7, which likely will be tack-sharp stopped down a couple of clicks...

Look at the RAW files - I don't think that's true, impressive as it is for such a small camera.

I don't see all that much difference between the Oly and Pan [not what I was hoping for as I'm probably going to be buying the GX7].

The 5DIII beats them both by a good margin - but you'd be a...

These comments astonish me at times. If this were not a camera calling it a compact would be analogous to racism? Seriously?

I imagine that for the vast majority of people the principal...

A camera that goes all the way up to ISO 25600 should be pretty clean at ISO 1600. This image is fairly noise free but there's also a shed load of processing and smearing of detail in there....

Not a bad job considering but actually it is very soft - as are other even more moderately high sensitivity shots. A fair bit of processing going on although it does make one wonder how sharp this...

I think you can see there's a fair amount of noise reduction going on here, but this is nontheless incredibly impressive from a camera of this size.

Firstly I'd just like to day that Pentax seems to be doing a very good job with its current crop of APSc DSLRs - they're well specified and good value for money.

As for the Q series it's a case of...

At last someone has had the good sense to offer me the perfect accessory to my Ferrari F40 Traveller. Now if only someone would fabricate some hand lathed teak wheel trims I'd gladly pay $3,000. Each.

That's the equivalence AoV DoF effect. It's still an f1.2 lens which means 2.5-3 stops faster than a lens set at f3.2.

That means that if you were shooting a gig on 35mm format at 85mm and f3.5...

There are obvious advantages with larger sensors: greater control over limiting DoF at any given aperture [although of course conversely this can be a disadvantage when you want a deeper focus...

This policy is not entirely unprecedented - Quark became very complacent about a near monopoly in the publishing industry and Adobe cleverly leveraged their ownership of Photoshop/Illustrator et al...

I work for a design agency and this move is similarly unwelcome amongst professionals. It's seen as a way of the company keeping a constant revenue stream at a maximised level - the pricing...

Except that resolution is not always measured by lines or pixels per inch. Many people prefer to express absolute resolution as the amount of visual information available - and that's more logical...

Fair enough - you do have to trial and error the exposures and shoot manually with strobes, whereas you can let the camera [or light meter] work out exposure for you in continuous lighting - which...
