webber15: One and only option...
Out right ban on imports and sale of drones..
Drones give pleasure to the operator only...but are a pest to everyone else, including wildlife - drones are a bane.
Absolutely Right! Recreational drones have contributed nothing to society, other than provide another means of neutralizing leisure time that could be spent more productively.
Obviously the work of terrorists with technological training, funding, and a motive to effect Christmas seasonal travel worldwide. Specifically Christmas. Do the math. It was inevitable, and I'm really surprised the army and anti-terrorism think tanks weren't prepared.
Not bad as far as graphic designs from nature and creative mind are concerned. But the novelty of being taken with a drone loses its luster pretty quick once you realize the amount of post-production that went into most of these, and the lack of resolution. To keep the viewer interested engaged with photos like these you really need to find detail that draws their eye and Imagination into the image. These don't have that. They are worth a look though to inspire someone else's imagination
photographytragic: Where's my 40mm pancake?
Where's my 14mm fish cake?
j102030: No need whatsoever to buy the Pro version if you're only using it for photography. I've been using the cheaper Wacom entry level pen tablets (Bamboo, One) for ages and have also used the pro versions on occasions and there's no real difference if you're just using it for general retouching.
What the pro versions offer over the entry level ones is that they offer a lot more and finer levels of pen pressure. If you're using it to actually draw then that's a big advantage but if you just use it as a glorified mouse then you might as well get the cheap ones.
Also, I would strongly advise to consider the Small versions for the same reason. A bigger tablet is better if you're doing long pen strokes but if you're just using it for retouching and as a a mouse then the smaller real estate is actually an advantage since your hand doesn't have to travel that far.
J102030- thanks or you post. I'm on the verge of acquiring a Wacom and I want the best one for me. Making fine selections and editing with a mouse has been very frustrating for me over the years. Seems no matter how much control I use with a mouse it takes erratic jumps.
Distracting room echo. Hope you work that out before the next video because I really enjoy these.
MarioV: I'm not judging. I understand its culture and they need to harvest to survive. I'm sure I'd be doing the same thing. Is there an alternative? Fish farms? Should we all be donating food to the region? Does it depend on whether they believe whales have intelligence. Whales dont appear intelligent. They cant do a lot of intelligent things like humans can. Lets all hope we dont encounter any hungry superior intelligent aliens deciding to harvest us low intelligence humans for food. It would be the natural order of things. This isnt meant to flame, just create discussion.
Dont worry about it. God made animals for man to eat and wear. The are no other beings above us in tje food chain to worry about.
"specializes in covering wildfires". I suppose many-a-pyromaniac have been inspired now from the glamorization of fires. Palley's enthusiasm to prove that he was in the thick of if it seems disproportionally exaggerated considering the lack of any real benefit to anyone viewing his pics. I'm not going to say that everything about the science of combustion has been documented, but I fail to see how these pictures and this article add one iota to a knowledge base.
We can add "fire photography" to the list of extreme activities in which people engage to entertain themselves and attract attention.
justmeMN: It must be a good lens, because the gallery includes a dog. :-)
But it's not up to snuff for cat pictures.
BlueBomberTurbo: Is it me, or does this camera not have a viewfinder?
test prints
Dimitris Roubos: "throwing this camera in your pocket is the best selling feature of this camera but since it has a history of dust entering the sensor at least make sure your pockets are clean" AHAHAHAHHA
You guys have been my favorite camera reviewers since the early days of the camerastore. Love those lines and all the goofy moments. You are always focused attentively on what matters and never been too formal. I am really happy you joined the dpreview. It was a great place that became even better!
I don't get Chris's last line (heart and head). Was there a Boy Scout Jamboree happening in Cargaly?
lattesweden: As someone else already has wondered, how long will there be an app that works with the camera?
And the film advance lever that is just for looks is not my bag at least.
If they had made a fully mechanical camera with all necessary dails on it like in the old days and just added digital film, then it would have been something. Make use of the advance lever to cock the shutter etc.
And only have the battery drive the digital film (sensor) with storage to a big internal memory.
And a RJ45 Ethernet port / Wifi connection with an built in SFTP server for transfer. That is at least future proof in a fairly long time span. And can be used with both computers, tablets and mobiles.
And they could have made the film advance lever to charge the battery.
dmartin92: A Full Frame X100, with a 35mm lens on it. I would be interested.
Or 40mm.
+100% FF fixed lens fixed focal length would RIP a lot of sales out competitors sails. Jacket pocket size and digital zoom with best lens possible and connectablility superiority! It's a ring within Fuji's reach.
Tripod socket is a plate screwed to the body. I always assumed they were machined directly into the body.
Prairie Pal: Aircraft should be emitting a radio signal extending 500 meters that essentially kills the drone engine. Let it drop.
Okay, lets say 5000 meters then. Will that work?

(unknown member): I have a solution to this problem.
Don't buy Tamron lenses!
For those not invested too deeply in Nikon already, I read this message as "buy Tamron lens, don't buy Nikon body"
bolt2014: Why not just buy a real camera?
A fool and his money are soon parted. That's why.
Jtrcy: So many YouTube video and reviews end up being total time wasters with too much un-needed talking, weird video replay clips and in general poor preparation and/or presentation.
These guys offer both sides of the photo/video coin and both are clear, concise and to the point with pretty decent examples and a light hearted humor along the way.
How cool it would be to have these guys as your beer drinking camera talk buddies.
Great job, great addition to DPR.
"How cool it would be to have these guys as your beer drinking camera talk buddies." >>> plus you could borrow their equipment after enough beersss.
They will probably find all the equipment in a nearby dumpster with the Red Dots removed for attaching to counterfeit cameras.
