    4K

    Not entirely accurate. SLR refers to 'single lens reflex' or a camera with a mirror box and live viewfinder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-lens_reflex_camera

    FZ1000: Need help with Wi-Fi hook-up

    Your Windows 'networking' password is not the same as your desktop login. It's been too long since I set up a Windows network so that's about all I can offer to point you in the right direction. I 'suspect' that is your problem but I'm not positive. BTW, wireless file transfer is usually very...

    A Couple of Questions about IPS Display

    I'm sure you did your homework. But just in case you missed a few things. Wide gamut monitors need color managed software or the colors will look over saturated and incorrect. All of Adobe's imaging software is color managed. Most cheap and free image viewers are not. Most web browsers are not...

    Polarized sunglasses - cannot see screen

    No, not true. Older eyes and people with some eye problems like cataracts and glaucoma may be quite sensitive to glare. Polarized lenses remove glare MUCH better than normal sunglasses or transition type lenses. To assume somebody can just 'take off' their prescription polarized sunglasses is...

    Motorcycle Touring with Camera

    I took numerous MC trips with a rebel DSLR. I put it in my Givi top case on a soft bag of my clothes. Even after 3 weeks on the road in one stretch, no problems from vibrations. This assumes you have a properly frame mounted top case and not fender mounted. Just use some care. Lastly, what kind...

    Why is the image quality of the FZ 1000 better than on the LX 100?

    I also own both and being a die hard pixel peeper, my opinion is the LX beats the FZ above ISO 400 and the corner sharpness for some of the zoom range on the FZ is much softer. However, I do find myself using the FZ more due to the similarity in image quality and super zoom range. The extra...

    Photo viewing software that scales properly on hi res monitors?

    No, not really a pixel density problem. The IPS screen on this 13 inch Lenovo is beautiful alright. And, most programs scale just fine. It is mostly a few older programs that go to tiny vision on parts or all of the GUI. Well, except parts of the newest installed Window Media Player. So it is...

    Upscale Bluray to 4K TV?

    My 60" Samsung UHD TV bought around 4 months ago does an excellent job of upsampling Bluray or HD broadcast TV. Much better looking than HD.

    Field Tripod for Backcountry Macros

    Do a search for Benbo trekker or Benbo tripods. I own the 7lb model and NOTHING beats these for macro work. The single center pivot allows down on the ground or up against a tree and just about any weird position you may need. Care would have to be taken especially with the lighter versions to...

    Photo viewing software that scales properly on hi res monitors?

    I did try ACDSEE 18 and it was tinyvision. The only program that has scaled properly on my small hi res monitor is Photo Mechanic. However, at $150 I may just stick with Lightroom, which I already own and scales fine but is not the fastest way to just 'view' a bunch of images.

    Photo viewing software that scales properly on hi res monitors?

    not on my 13" 3000X1800 res Yoga 2 Pro laptop. Strictly tinyvision.
