What the ---- is wrong with just appreciating beauty...

20x40 of what? The worms are an artifact based on what you're taking a picture of. Not all subject matter is going to produce worms. Only certain content with very fine detail of a certain type...

> Just leave sharpening in Lightroom to minimal or 0, and sharpen instead in Photoshop using unsharp mask.

How large of a print do you personally do after performing what you've just said? If...

Hmmm, on the plus side, 24 Mpix with no worms (and hopefully great color) for $600! Minus side, same EVF specs as my X-E1. But you do get a lot for $600.

Just too darn bad I already switched...

One of these days, if I can get enough time and energy, I want to get my coworker, who just bought a Sony A7III, and I to shoot some scenes at the same time with both cameras and see exactly how ...

I used an EVF for 5 years. For a lot of tasks, it was great. Especially the exposure approximation. However, I would only upgrade to an EVF with a minimum of 3.5 Mpix or probably better and a...

Here are some recent iris pics from my Canon 1DS Mark3, hope you like them... Love the rich colors I get from this camera...

I just put these out there to let the viewer see what the shadows look like if they chose to boost the shadows themselves.  These were unedited photos.  Sorry for the confusion.

I was curious, so I went out and took a sunset test to see exactly how shadows do in a high contrast landscape type shot. I would have to agree with you. Noise reduction can help somewhat, but at ...

Thanks! John

Yes, that's true that this camera is not iso-invariant.  For macros I have a setup where I have mirror lockup when I push the shutter, do high speed shooting, and exposure bracketing for a shot.  ...

Next post up by DPReview, A7III "Star Eaters".

Wow, LOL, OK. First of all, I'm actually all for progress. By virtue of the fact that I took the picture with a DIGITAL camera instead of my Mamiya 1000s FILM camera implies I can upgrade in ...

My bad, correct me if I'm wrong, but the PD AF is a separate AF sensor combined with the mirror and not integrated into the image sensor?  The main image sensor does not have PDAF pixels ...

Thank you!  Yes, it's not necessarily about new gear and new features, older cameras still work fine for certain jobs.

Thank you! Yes the one class of photos where I would look for more pixels and dynamic range would be landscapes.  Definitely need dynamic range there.  This camera does fine for nature macros where ...

Can't help it, just love this camera I just bought! It's 8-10 years old, yet with a 100mm Canon macro lens, it still takes wonderful pictures... The following is a focus stacked flower macro from ...

Funny, I owned a Fujifilm X-E1 mirrorless, I then rented a Nikon D610 and wound up just buying a Canon 1DS Mark 3, and couldn't be happier! Wonderful colors straight out of the camera and no...

I bought this camera for nature macros, but hmmm I might want to take some people pictures out of curiosity when the occasion arises... The AA filter is a bit more heavier than other cameras I've ...

Thank you!  Appreciate it...
