Maybe this comparison will help with the decision...I couldn't find the D50 data (the camera is too old), but here's the comparison of the D3000 at ISO400 with some modern compacts (including X10...

Wouldn't that be a more valid comparison?

I have this lens. I really liked it on my Practica, but the aperture blades got stuck ~10 years after purchase. FWIW (N=1 does not a good statistic make :)).

"... NEX-6, which offers focus peaking. This is not surprising if you think about it, as the adapter is mating a lens optimized for phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) to a camera that uses a...

As you yourself write, it is the job of the raw converter to interpret the data. And if it has wrong profile, it will give wrong results.Anyway, did you try the same conversions with the latest...

Yes, I got it from one of your previous posts which I read after posting this one. Shoot, it looks like I'm going for the record here: -2 out of 6 :-|

That sounds to me awfully like "look how amazing the modern sensors are" tack. But heck, with my track record in this discussion, I'd better wait a coupla days

Ouch! :)You sure make it interesting :)I have a suspicion that you're on your old "ISO is the processing parameter to get a target brightness" tack, since it seems to me that you've changed the ISO...

EV15.6 - exposure EEV15 - exposure DEV14 - exposure FEV14 - exposure BEV13.3 - exposure CEV10.5 - exposure AIt's amazing how much the raw processing muddies the waters :) .

But that's what he meant. Dash at the start denotes "minus", while "+" is, well, a plus :). So IOW he states, that the D300 owners who switched to FF should be subtracted from the total pool of...

IMHO, Sony Nex-5R and Nex-6 are way more important newcomers. The most important reason for me when picking up J1 at the beginning of the year was the PD-AF on sensor. Nobody else really had it.

Yes, especially when you think about the missing features of an "enthusiast"-oriented V1: $500 (almost 50%) price drop in 12 months after introduction? Well, the only good thing is that it seems...

Yes, I know about RT, and was trying it out on regular basis. I was just trying to verify that does the right push ;) .Just tried a 5-stop push for one of not-culled D300 files and was amazed...

I see. Thanks.As for the tools: my default Capture NX2 allows only 2 stop push. You and others point out that the push in ACR-based tools is not linear, therefore not really suitable for such...

Bob, sorry for a little offtopic. Does this graph mean that D300 is more or less ISOless above ISO800? Thanks. -- Comments and critiques are always welcome :) .Cheers, Stas.

Thanks.Ah, I assumed (1)you meant sexual relations between parents and children and (2)sexual relations before child's physical maturity. Looks like I was mistaken.Cheers, Stas.

Out of curiousity - which ones? That feature seems to be quite detrimental to group survival, so I would expect evolution to weed it out...bobn2 wrote: ...Cheers, Stas.

IMHO, it's a pity (and a big loss for Nikon) that there's no camera in Nikon 1 system with the same level of user controls (and a standard hot shoe). V1 (not to mention J2/J1) look very... pitiful...
