Well, the mode (most common) is 24MP, the median (middle value) falls between 24MP and 26MP, and the mean (arithmetic average) is irrelevant, skewed by a couple of large outliers.

Ah, found it. Use Picture Controls but glossed over the Monchrome option all this time. And, yes, I always shoot RAW+JPEG. Thanks!

Thanks! Black and white wasn't on my mind when I took the (color) shot. I was doing lens and ISO tests. (Note the top papers with taped corners - lens charts. :-D) The D90 has a monochrome option ...

My granddaughter was telling me that she and all the other high school students in her photography class hate the black and white section of the course. I told her there are many uses for black ...

Don’t know this lens, but in general for many Nikon bodies, using lenses with their own aperture ring entails setting the ring to the smallest (largest number) f/stop if the camera is to be able ...

Purchased a used DSLR, and two lenses as three separate purchases from MPB in the last year. All were as good or better than described. All came superbly wrapped. Item pictures at MPB are the ...

You have only yourself to please. And it’s a nice technical accomplishment. But I think it’s now a picture and not a photograph. And you picked a very difficult example: replacing the sky but not ...

I have purchased a used DSLR and two lenses from MPB (USA) over the last 15 months. Each was marked Excellent and arrived looking flawless. Each was superbly wrapped and boxed with lots of ...

Another vote for the Olympus OM-1. Not too big, not too heavy. A 50mm f/1.8 lens that was small. Good controls. And more importantly, I felt in complete control - no guessing what the camera’s ...

Phone cameras are designed to satisfy phone users, and the majority of high-end phone users are under 50. This includes all of my children, nieces, and nephews along with their spouses. They all ...

Went through the same decision recently. Tried someone’s 18-200mm VR II. Checked lens tests for Nikon DX lenses on my camera at DxOMark’s lens test site. Ended up buying the 18-140mm DX VR from ...

Enough to be satisfied, but not enough to be good. Much faster that way. But I'm not looking for clients. ;-)

Younger people today have no history with B&W. My granddaughter says neither she nor any of the other students in her high school photography class enjoy the few B&W assignments. I talked about ...

What the guy from Lens Rental would learn in a Statistics class: Prob(at least one bad copy out of 14) = 1 - Prob(no bad copies out of 14) = 1 - (0.97)^14 = 1 - 0.653 = 0.347 or 34.7% Buying 14 ...

D90 is APSC, so a good "normal" prime is the DX 35mm f/1.8. Excellent used copies under $125. In the same range is the DX Micro 40mm f/2.8, lower $200 used. DxOMark rates both as very sharp on the ...

Based on reviews and their photos, a Google Pixel 4a has a very good camera and is $349. I can guarantee you that it will take pictures like a phone camera, and that seems to be the criterion ...

DxOMark's test of the D610 and D7500 sensors show ISO scores of  2925 and 1483, respectively. These represent the ISO values producing equivalent printed picture quality for a fixed test they use. ...

I’ve made 3 purchases from MPB (US) in the last 12 months: a camera and two lenses. All three arrived promptly, were in great condition, and were superbly wrapped.  Also bought a   Used Canon ELPH ...

That Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 is about $1,000 new, and maybe $700+ used at popular sites (e.g., MPB/US). If you can get a good copy under $350 that isn't stolen, let me know where! :-) That said, the ...
