Sharper than the VR version at 200mm. http://www.photozone.de/nikon--nikkor-aps-c-lens-tests/245-nikkor-af-s-55-200mm-f4-56-g-ed-dx-review--test-report And a little lighter as well.

Apparently when GearShop was created the way you change your password was moved there ( not intentionally ) and while they're aware of this, the fix hasn't been made yet. So go to "Your Account" on...

DPR is primarily about still photography and if you specifically want a camcorder or similar a site like dvinfo.net or vimeo might be better.

If you shoot RAW Nikon's software will correct CA automatically ( well, by default, you can probably turn it off if you want ). Third party software : depends.  Sometimes depends on the specific...

Whatever the copyright laws are where you are are the default, however your written contract ( signed by both parties ) can modify that ( unless your laws state a contract cannot ). If you don't...

Not aware of it being damaging, although you will use more power with it on. Also note that many shots will not need IS.  Once your shutter speed is about twice the focal length the likelihood of...

I would approach this by knowing from experience what approximate aperture I needed to get the DOF I wanted.  When in doubt I'd allow plenty of DOF rather than chance leaving too little. With...

He's actually describing just removing the mirror in DSLRs and replacing the viewfinder and AF systems ( which are the reasons for the mirror ) with on-sensor phase detect AF and an EVF. The mounts...

> The only real reason I'm considering the 24mm f/1.8 is because I'm now going to buy a crop frame and want the wider field of view My real question was why the f1.8 @ 24mm ?  I guess I didn't...

Thread locked as people have tried to respond to it and it was clearly a troll post to start with.

In practical terms there is little difference between raising ISO when shooting and under-exposing 1-stop and then raising exposure in post processing.

In practice a standard HD TV resolution would be more than adequate for normal slide show displays, regardless of the material source. And whether a given slide actually has a higher level of...

I don't think there are any that match the size of the SD800.  The closest would be the Canon A1400 StephenG

> It's almost like the lack of technical exactness helps you identify more closely with the subjects In all fairness to the photographer ( John Olson ) I think we should say it's a very technically...

Firstly I'm bound to say "ISO 12,800 and above !!??  Are you crazy ?". :-) Secondly I'm somewhat skeptical of this stuff about the 6D being better than the D600 at ( extreme ) ISOs like 12,800. ...

I'd not chase the Sigma 24mm f1.8 unless you desperately need f1.8 at 24mm. If possible go to the Nikon 35mm f1.8 G or skip f1.8 altogether. What purpose is the 24mm f1.8 intended for ?  Maybe we...

I've no idea where you get your ideas about the price of Nikon lenses, but here are some top-quality Nikon glass that hard to match elsewhere optically or in price : 18-105 VR 55-200 VR 50mm f1.8...

At the moment the D600 or D800 would be the choice to make if high ISO performance is your highest priority.

> I do understand your point of view though. I just think an FOV of 75mm doesn't cut the mustard for me. Your mileage may vary. No arguments - it's all about personal preferences. For social...

In relation to Craig's ( Guidenet ) use of the 85mm lens for portraits I'd point out that Craig uses FX systems ( do you still use DX at all, Craig ? ).   On DX a 50mm lens gives a similar field of...
