Yes AF540FGZ full cycle is about 6 seconds with good AAs, BUT in most cases you are not using full discharges. If yes, then something is wrong with flash photography understanding or you are in ...

Depends on usage. If you are shooting a lot of pics, you need to easily swap batteries and NiMh are very cheap now, so you can have 3-4 charged sets in bag and just swap them. But yes, it will be ...

Canon 40D/50D/60D/70D/80D/90D and above all have glass pentaprism. And it is the only line that one should start using Canon with. Anything below this line are just plastic toys with hollow ...

Use RAW and compare apples with apples. Shooting some of camera jpgs does not help much. Also you are comparing compact camera with large aperture lens with very old CCD DSLR with basic ...

Pentax AF540?? :D You mean this one? https://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/products/accessory/flash/af540fgz2/index.html Ricoh is doing everything to remove Pentax from market completely. Persona ...

Try to put camera on tripod and check the tripod plate with water level, then take pic. Also check Live View image. If it is still tilted, then the SR needs calibration. But as said above, it ...

Well.... I hope this says a lot :D

Also check contacts between body/lens. SR needs reliable source of focal length and I had similar issue with Sigma 50-500 where the mount was not tightened properly and some shots were very ...

645 line is dead, deal with it. There will be no more cameras or lenses.

For quick snapshot and mostly documentation only. Usually I have at least Oly XZ-2 with me in bag when anything larger is not possible to take (Stylus1s, EPL-6 or K3 with lenses)

There is no "standard reference FF sensor" and comparisons do not work also. There is huge difference of noise and DR characteristics between modern 24Mpix FF and modern 60Mpix FF. The only...

It has still the same 2012-2013 specs. https://www.dpreview.com/products/compare/side-by-side?products=pentax_optiowg2&products=ricoh_wg80&products=pentax_wg90&products=ricoh_wg30 These are now ...

Yes. There is very limited market for K1III. It can be slightly updated K1II just to replace components that are no longer manufactured, then it will have similar price, but also very similar specs ...

OMG this nonsense again. There is no F stop recalculation for exposure or "light hitting the sensor". It is light per area and it is identical no matter what piece of image circle you crop. When...

And basically the only way to build some coverage of lenses for FF is to use 2nd hand Sigma (and some Tamron) lenses that are no longer produced for many years.. In past around 2010-2012 it was ...

You mentioned lenses that are missing. And it is not about "if they have this, they won't sell this". That is completely wrong assesment :D The correct one is: "they do not have xx and yy and zz ...

Concerning size.. my Olympus 75-300/4.8-6.7 is longer than my APS-C Pentax HD DA55-300/4.5-6.3 PLM WR and about the same size like my older SMC DA55-300/4-5.8.  Both those Pentax lenses cover ...

I would not say value brand, but it used to be well balanced between price and performance. Cameras were nothing special, especially lacking in AF, but offered nice things like IBIS since 2006 and ...

ISO100 1sec underexposed photo of some deer with blur on face is supposed to say what? Cmon :D This is what 2010 K5 can do with Sigma 100-300/4:

APS-C has even better ergonomics, is more portable, has much better lens coverage, makes more sense and is still somewhat alive with somewhat recent 2015 tech K3III introduced in 2021 and K7.. ...
