Personally I don't go for the all-in one lenses with such large ranges - there are too many optical compromises.  I'd prefer an 18-105 VR for general use and for occasional macro use I'd screw on...

My impression was that the OP was primarily interested in camera high ISO performance without flash, but if you feel differently perhaps it would be helpful to supply him with some suggestions,...

Apart from GIMP ( http://www.gimp.org ) which is heading toward a major update this year, there's also projects like DarkTable ( http://www.darktable.org ). As well as those DPR member Doug Pardee...

Just to clarify USB 2.0 is limited to about 23 MB/sec in practice and USB 3.0 to more like 150-200 MB/sec. A typical HDD can shift data at about 80-150 MB/sec ( varies over the position on the...

Modern DSLRs ( and large sensor compacts like the NEX ) have very good high ISO performance.  It's way better than film. As your priority is low light without a tripod or flash I'd strongly...

Not specific to the A57, but specific information is in your manual.  The general principal works the same for all cameras. http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/white-balance.htm StephenG

A polite thief is still a thief.

I don't see why the station should not be punished heavily for their theft. Companies cynically use any images they want and only act repentant when they're...

I'm at a loss to know why anyone would get this thing, especially at £1000 each. It look quite lame compared to an RX100 ( which has a faster lens at 28mm and even zooms ).

A fixed lens camera...

Have you tried emailing Sigma a request for it ?If else fails I'd expect there to be a patent somewhere on it, so presumably that shows the design.

While it may seem a little odd, if you want shots of fast moving kids indoors, then the flash is your weapon of choice.Flash gives a very short and intense burst of light which effectively freezes...

Go to the image samples page of the review and just click anywhere in the collage or images.  That will open the gallery for that set of samples and you should be fine from there.

A question like this really needs to start from a budget and work from there.So what is your department's budget per camera ?We also need to know if officer's will be carrying the camera on their...

I've just been playing around with a Blackberry Playbook and while viewing images I realized that my normal approach of always storing full sized images slows down viewing a bit.  So I've now...

The poster should contact Admins through feedback if they want to do some kind of research using the members.  Explain to them what you want to do and what purpose it's for.  They can decide if...

Who PAYS for this "service" ?

It's all very well Nikon issuing a notice, but what they don't say is whether they pay for the service or the user does. ( And I won't even ask about delivery costs....

I typed "photo ninja raw" into the search text box and the results list several posts on Photo Ninja ( including your questions ).I think you are, perhaps, expecting more results that there are...

You really need to refer to a specific forum on your camera in order to get a detailed understanding.However the one thing I would say is that unless you're a very careful technician using micro...

The standard ( and cheap ) 18-105 VR is an excellent lens optically and well worth having as a general lens.  I'd be astonished if I ever got rid of mine.  I'm even trying it out on an Sony NEX via...

You're free to apply whatever method works for you, or course.  My experience is that subjects do not want to see what they looked like, they want to see what they think they looked like.Frankly I...

The only compact combination you'll get will be any of the Panasonic GF or Olympus E-P or E-PM or E-PL  models with a Panasonic 14-42 PZ lens ( note that PZ designation ).StephenG
