  • Replied in it's exactly the opposit
    Those of us who understand how it works happily use it. Just like we use auto exposure, and focus, and color. Those who don't know what they are doing are doomed to disappointment. It's...
  • Replied in 200mm F2.0L IS owners. What is your main usage?
    Indoor sports, typically National and World Level Taekwondo and Poomsae. Gets rid of the background quite nicely (actually an old 200MM...
  • Replied in uhm
    I didn't know P&S's did ISO 6400 and F2.8. And doesn't it take them a long time to focus in dark conditions?
  • Replied in on M34rds the sensor does crop
    Well, on M34rds the sensor does crop. They just forgot to include the cropped part of the sensor when they shipped the camera.
  • Replied in Hey chironNYC
    Do you own a Mark III? Have you posted any pictures from it? Last time I asked you didn't answer. Maybe it's time to fess up? 'Cause the only photo in your gallery is from a Sony. Just saying . . .
  • Replied in see? see? I told you
    All the D800 threads that people complain are about started by Canonites. Not Nikon owners. And here's another by a person that insists on pushing the D800 into the spotlight which every single...
  • Replied in Where does the Olympus 75/1.8 rank among the all-time legendary lenses?
    Drunk again? Do your parents know? But I'll play alone like I don't know. A F3.6 lens beats a 135 F2.0? A 100MM F2.8? A 85MM F1.8? Why? It hasn't even been tested. It's ugly. And expensive....
  • Replied in most of the theads are started by Canonites
    Moan moan moan. Most of these threads are started by Canon owners. And when one is started by a Nikon user, half the Canon users jump in, created a huge thread. And you if you look at the ...
  • Replied in uhm, not really
    http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1041&message=41598207 Cheap glass? $900 for a prime 150mm F3.6? A Canon 135 F2.0 is $950. A Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM 1-to-1 Macro...
  • Replied in take it to the next level
    Flash is bad only at the most basic shooting level. Fill flash is a valuable technique for reducing shadows and harsh lighting during outdoor shooting. Also works for extreme back...
  • Replied in right, but :)
    True. But I suggest we don't talk about noise for the reasons you state. We should talk about total light, with the understanding that total light has a strong influence on noise. Of course their...
  • Replied in kind of a biased answer
    Only a die hard would call a 60-year life (and still going strong) a fad. Odd are once the cell phone 16-year old FAD is replaced with something else, SLR's will be going strong. And no one...
  • Replied in Auto ISO behavior in program mode (5D mk iii)
    Well, I agree auto ISO could be improved. But it's not all Canon's fault. Anytime you are asking the camera to select more than two variables you are asking for trouble. In P mode and auto ISO...
  • Created thread Sensor size doesn't matter
    There seem to be some misconceptions about sensor size and camera performance. I keep seeing statement like "larger sensor gather more light" or "larger sensors have more DOF." Ladies and...
  • Replied in missing the whole point
    There is no size or weight savings with M43 telephoto lenses. So anyone who is paying $5000 for a lens can get any size body they want. You just don't get it. A tiny body on a huge lens is still...
  • Replied in so so wrong
    We started with a great post. Simple and accurate. And you've shown you don't understand it. Indeed, you tried to make it more complicated, no doubt because you don't like the truth. How more...
  • Replied in Very thorough UV filter comparison tests (and C-PLs)
    Why test something that's obvious? I'll tell you what. I'm take my lens with filters and test them, you take your lenses w/o filters and test them, then we'll compare notes. Or how about...
  • Replied in I know you don't want to hear this
    I know you don't want to hear this, but maybe it will help someone else (and I do have a practical suggestion at the end, so don't get mad.) The cardinal rule of backup is to never ever have one...
  • Replied in where's that EOS-1D Mark IV?
    You know, Canon's imaginary camera? It was announced something like a year ago? Just saying . . . companies all makes mistakes, sh*t happens.
  • Replied in there are no cool cameras
    Dumb concept. There are only cool photos.
