All current APS-C sensors are pretty much identical in high ISO performance. The slight differences in tests aren't noticeable in real-life shooting, especially when you process correctly. I did a ...

Yes. I had assumed the OP was taking about servo. Ever since the first M came out, the standard advice on this forum has been to disable continuous AF as soon as you take the camera out of the ...

Yes Yes Depends on what I'm shooting. I use face detect mostly for people shots. If the camera doesn't pick the face I want right away, I tap on the screen. If face detect is having trouble, I ...

Yes, we’ll agree to disagree. I have had many years of experience with using servo almost exclusively, and I’m very picky about focus. Perhaps servo on different cameras works differently. My ...

This is a common misconception. It doesn't do that. I have used servo focus on my 7DII since getting it four years ago, and on my M6 since getting it last year. Servo gives exactly the same ...

Yes they would. I'm also confused by the previous poster's reply. To the OP, I presume you're talking about servo focus? If so, that's the setting I use for almost all my shots. I only use ...

What a strange way to put it! I don't "sink" money into anything. I buy things I want or need, and use those things. Do you "sink" money into meals you buy at restaurants? Whatever Canon will or ...

I set the clarity, vibrance, and dehaze. Dehaze has the effect of darkening a little, so I add .25 stops to the exposure. I also set shadow and highlight recovery. I find that 50 of each is a good ...

Yes, if you only take still pictures of landscapes in good light, a modern phone camera will give you great results with less setup than a real camera. For everything else, the phone camera, even ...

I have both. I use the 10-18 on my 7DII, and the 11-22 on my M6 and M. Both are good lenses. The 11-22 is a truly excellent lens. In your situation, I would get the 11-22, without a doubt. The ...

We don't have to improvise. We can use the excellent EF-M lenses, designed for the camera, or we can use the adapter, also designed for the camera, to mount any of the vast range of EF and EF-S ...

An M series camera will have the M mount. Otherwise it wouldn't be an M series. Also, it would be incredibly stupid to produce an M-like camera with, say, an EF mount. If they did that, it ...

I think this question is for me, although you quoted Mike's post. In LIghtroom, I increased exposure by about .4 of a stop, pulled up shadows by 85 (on the 100 point scale), reduced highlights by ...

Your iPhone is processing the image for HDR. It takes several different exposures, and merges them. You can do the same with your M50. I'm sure it has an HDR setting, which will do that. Or, you ...

Why do you think that? Adapted EF and EF-S lenses work just as well on M cameras as native lenses. At least all the ones I've tried do (70-200 F2.8L IS II, 40 F2.8, 50 F1.8STM, 85 F1.8, 100 F2.8L ...

Well, I already told you what I'm basing it on. The fact that optically it is at least as good as the $1400 35mm F1.4L and the $600 35mm F2 IS. Plus the fact that it is much smaller and lighter ...

I think it's a bargain at $479, and will be even more of a bargain if/when the price drops. Ten years ago, I paid $1400 for the EF 35 F1.4L. That was a great lens. This is even better. Just as ...

Yes. It's a great all-around performer. AF is excellent, fast, accurate, and, contrary to what a few people have said, good in low light (especially with fast lenses). Image quality is what you'd ...

Thanks for the clarification, and sorry for the delay in responding. I do see that player 10 looks a little sharper than player 11 (though not by a lot). I can't say that I've noticed this with my ...

Polarised? Careful now. There’s probably a rule about using (or not using) a polarizer. 😀
