In relative terms...it certainly may mean "poor image" for some at the other end of the spectrum. In that case it reasonably can be a valid assessment.  lots of variables both objective and ...

It may very well be to some now who are looking for higher resolution in their shooting And now that is considered low/poor resolution...and it's a valid assessment considering where we are now.  ...

true but the term "low res", applied to 24mp, might still be perfectly valid for a lot of shooting scenarios. And you don't need even need 8mp to create sharp images either. But you might need ...

In some cases it can be a practical negative now days where there are much higher options for those really looking for resolution. But still not as "excellent" resolution as some higher resolution ...

Best of the group for me.  Brings me joy...thanks

In relative terms...it certainly can "HD" has/had a specific definition... 1080p and 1080p is now Low Rez in TV land Certainly might not qualify to a accomplished audiophile with young ears.  To ...

The scene is compelling for some reason...so why many take it, IMO Some folks take the same shot and do it with a lot of skill.  Those images are almost as compelling as the scene itself and why ...

24mp, in relative terms, is certainly the new "low" in terms of resolution alone in 2023.  In 3 or 4 years 48mp might be the new low.

One way...Use AF to focus on an area in the same plane as the pupils then lock focus and recompose

Yep, but pretty uncommon in relative terms, IMO Yep...and some of common image viewers have trouble opening even DNG Raw files based on the 6.0 TIFF standard. That said...not sure it has a real ...

But a Raw file is not an image file because when opened with common image viewing programs ...it will not always show any image.  Very different from an actual image file like a tiff, Jpeg, or ...

DNG files are still RAW files but a standard developed by Adobe.  Lots of Pros and cons to DNG vs Other types of RAW file standards.  But like an NEF...it's still not a image file like a Jpeg file. ...

true it's a relationship between tone range and contrast.  I submit that is measurable, especially in a A vs B example.  Not unlike tonality/timber in music? And we can "measure" bokeh as ...

I think that's not necessarily true. There are a lot of print mediums now that can exceed what one see's on the monitor in terms of tonality. Some of the newer metallic ultraHD papers combined ...

I would think tonality .... image "A" vs "B" ... would be easy to measure. After all, it's often described as range. We could measure with a defined histogram or a wave form? Of course one one have ...

Or you could just "turn off" focus point bias by use of AF mode selection. And with Center Weighted metering one might be solving on a different grey % than matrix. Part of Matrix metering has ...

Nor did many of the old tools.  One of the reasons we had so many camera clubs and courses in schools.  Less need now as the info is just a smart phone away and now much better explained with ...

When done well...The "New" way also takes time, intention, evaluation of a scene and fitting that within the DR limitations of the medium .  No real change...just more tools in the tool box.  Use ...

The Focus Point Exposure Bias has been part of the Nikon system for sometime.  The degree of bias can differ model to model.  Normally it is strongest with AF-Area mode "single" in AF-S  and will ...

Pretty good job here: Understanding tonal range Note the relationship with contrast In terms of photography, the tonal range or “tonality” is mainly an expression of contrast. I would also note ...
