Other people dont need a compact either. Or to take pictures at all. Cant see the relevance. It isnt about you.

The issue for many will be whether to get a phone and a compact, or a phone that...

You need a phone anyhow, its smaller, etc. It doesnt have to be exactly as good as a high-end compact in all aspects, it only has to be close enough - and it is. In quite a few ways they're...

Google focus breathing if you want to get an idea. Depending on the lens it can be a fairly big problem.

Im enjoying mine, but a shop today was already selling it for $500 less than I bought it for a few weeks ago. So thats some fairly strong evidence that it was a overpriced.

I did agonise a little bit, Im as vulnerable to FOMO as anyone. But if I got the Sigma or the Metabones, knowing me Id be on the path to swapping over, and making do with the compromises inherent...

This is pretty much why I got it. I liked the M5, and now have a full frame equivalent.

Given the alternative is either metabones or selling everything off and spending much more to get the...

From Roger in the comments:

"It is magnesium alloy, as they say, but it's got quite a different feel to it."

Doesnt allow presets on importing either does it? Or even renaming. For me having a lot of initial stuff done at import before I even decide on culling is a major part of Lightroom.

I tihnk people are overfocussing on larger cameras and tripods - in my view this more an alternative to compact mobile tripods like the Sirui 3t-25, for gopro or smartphones.

Edit: Ok I hadnt...

I suspect theres a pretty big difference when you're not holding it.....

Given the uncontrolled conditions, Id say the differences are meaningless in practical terms.

Those lenses on a Sony involve a lot more compromises than an older series Canon 400mm or 600mm on a Canon.

I know that was a barrier for me when considering Sony - I didnt want to have to buy a...

Theres chocie I guess - can get a 1, 2 or 3, while with Sony, the '3' price is the only option.

Perhaps the same could be said about your critique of its rolling shutter Barney?

Unfortunately I need loseproof cards more than I need bend proof cards.

I agree, as a Canon user I am rather jealous. I love my 500mm f4 but a lighter and smaller option would be awesome, and the D500 as well would be a lovely combo.

I have both the Olympus and a dot sight + adapter, s an attempt to improve my BIF results. So far I prefer the dot sight. Its sturdier, and theres more distraction with the Olympus in my...

At some point the behaviour of people who are against a product become a selling point for the product. I think that point may have been reached with LR.

The problem with any redundancy scheme is trusting you're going to be disciplined enough to do it regularly without fail. In a job habits are easy to build up, but I suspect many people with large...

I assume they'd rather have 5 people at 2tb than 1 person with 10tb. More valuable for data gathering etc. Also those with 2tb are probably often only using 1tb in practise, while noone is...
