The only thing m43 is missing for me is a bit better MP and dynamic range. If they can get into the mid 30s in MP and get dynamic range approaching 14 stops, they kill off any attraction to FF. Hav ...

Using an Ultra-wide focal range effectively can be challenging for more people than I think we realize and this seems to be why so many people figure out a reason why not to own or take one with them.

Keep grasping at straws my man. With your $200 experience.

Not sure it was a rant, but I suspect you mean it in a friendly way anyway.  :-) It was long, but I appreciated the detail, it was well-written and painted a good story that allowed me to ...

Now I would think that would actually be part of the attraction and fun of your pursuit of going there. If it was more like horseshoe bend you probably wouldn't want to go there. Personally I ...

My first experience with the reverse situation was a police officer pulling over select vehicles (rental cars) on a deserted stretch of highway in Costa Rica. As we talked it slowly started feeling ...

You bought a cheap cell phone that costs 1/3rd of the average cell phone, and it doesn't take pictures as well as an average cell phone? Shocker! LOL.

What's next? Are you going to go buy a...

I'm actually not a fan of gatekeeping of natural resources via access fees. It's sold to the public as a way to both protect the resource from too many people and raise money to protect the ...

Not an exciting lens for me personally, but any new releases of anything are good signs of the patient is still alive which is a good thing.

Personally, I'd like a tilt / shift.

Now come out with...

lol, cherry-pick much?

I had a smile on my face while reading this, thinking, well that is good, somebody else goes through this stuff besides me. 🙂 My last relatable experience was a battle of wills with a Czech ...

I have to agree. FF gives you shallow depth of field which if tough to get with m43. But if they can come up with anything close to a 40mp sensor and 14 stops of dynamic range, they will...

I have seen this refrence to "low light", and I don't understand it. Low-light shooting has been a hallmark of cell phone camera technology for at least the last 5 years. If anything cell phones...

It's a dead cat bounce is all, if you truly 'dunked' it fully in seawater the corrosion is in there and working its deadly dance of infection like a virus with the electronics. Just a matter of ...

Part of it is how long till cell phones advance that far and how long before my requirements aren't as high as they are now? I would think they will cross in less than the next 10 years.

Love the story of the experiences and can totally relate to them. My wife is an accountant and has just about zero artistic ability (she freely admits) what is crazy is that on about every trip she ...

LOL, and precisely why it's so funny when curmudgeons keep trying to say how a cell phone will never replace a dedicated camera for XZY reasons... You can't fight the economics here. I guess the ...

The only reason for time stamping for me is to synchronize different cameras so that when imported into lightroom they are grouped properly. This happens every trip because it's my camera, my cell ...

You seem to be really making a problem out of the solution. SD cards are very cheap and smaller-capacity ones are almost free they are so cheap. Just change your cards more often. They don't have ...

Says lifeswork, but then I think it says only 5000 images in the article. I guess it's what he edited to be what he feels is his best work. He's produced some great work over his lifetime, I  found ...
