I would think the biggest problem for launching an EOS RP a decade ago is not the sensor, so much as the EVF.
EVFs still stutter a bit, even with current faster processing. A decade ago, they...

Hey, I saw an episode of CSI once where they grabbed a frame of security camera footage and did the "zoom and enhance" trick and read the barcode off a plane ticket.
Sure, they've got a ways to go...

I notice that nobody comments on how both these lenses are image stabilized.

You can compare the new 35mm with the old Nikon 35mm 2.0D if you like, but the Pentax lens enjoys IBIS, but the the...

I have one, actually. I try to keep it in nice condition, since it's a rarity as well as a useful lens.
They are rare around here, as they were a special order item that came in at full catalogue...

I still wince when watching movies where there's a "press corps" snapping away with Ricohs or Minoltas with hammer-handle flashes - as if press photographers ever used such things.
Even in movies...

Yes, I do believe the F4 supported AF-S. The F-801 made at the same time, didn't. Which meant the AF-I lenses at that time, only worked on the F4.

Weirdly enough, I do recall that the two lenses...

He was accused of "hit and run". He was accused of appropriating some famous photographers name. I know his actual name, and know him well.
He's just an older fellow, who's been using Nikon...

I handled the one briefly owned by the fellow who posted a mini review and got slammed for it in the DPR forum (and who can't even defend himself because the moderator closed the thread -...

Yes, I take exception to the idea that this device is a "scanner". It's not. It's essentially a point and shoot with a cheap macro setup inside. Scanning film in a real scanner take a lot longer...

The reason the waterproof compacts still use the smaller sensor is because of the lens design. The sensor doesn't sit at the back of the camera behind the lens opening - it's to the side. The zoom...

I suppose if I'd filed a patent for a multi-lens digital camera some 15 years ago, that went nowhere - I'd be tempted to file a claim against Apple, just in case they felt generous enough to give...

The strap bugs me more than the bag. Big metal hooks were a crappy idea in the 1970s, as they ground away at the camera's lugs and the body work.

And elastic film holders on the strap? Again, a...

I love the argument here. The current aesthetic for photographers is that depth of field is an evil that must be eliminated. Therefore MF has an advantage over FF or APSC because the longer...

I'm of the view that in the shrinking market for cameras and lenses, price increases are often needed to keep profitable.
The easiest way to get a price increase past the customer is to make a...

The main thrust behind APS was to bring back cartridge loading. People who worked at film labs often spoke of older customers bringing in their camera, and asking for the 35mm film to be taken out,...

Agree, very silly concept.
But why do I feel I ... want... one....?

Ughh... where to start?
Well, we can always nitpick about how the 1960 2.8F was nowhere near the last TLR Rolleiflex.

It's worth remembering that Casio brought us the very first digicam with live view. All those Kodaks (and the Apple) only had screens for basic shooting info.
I had a QV-20, I think, many moons...

Heck, I know a fellow who sold his Makro Plasmat 10.5cm f2.7 (not the APO one either) for $8,500 on eBay a couple of years ago. It wasn't coated. He bought it super cheap not really knowing what it...

Maybe they figure any self-respecting Nikon owner already has the 50mm 1.4 (which is a truly excellent lens, despite what the Art fanboys have to say).

Then again, maybe they don't want to start a...
