(A) I'm not making anyone do anything. I'm a screen name on an anonymous forum making a common-sense suggestion the OP and other readers can choose to consider, or not. (B) Do some math with me: (1) Co ...

My suggestion: ask your clientele--or the clientele for whom you'd like to shoot in the future about resolution requirements. Everybody's gonna hate me when I say this, but it's the truth: for many ...

Fortunately, we have Roger's OLAF test-rig insight into the Tamron 45 (and 35) SP: https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2015/12/tamron-f1-8-vc-prime-lenses-sharpness-mtf-curves/ Two things Roger notes ...

Since the OP's trade is specifically for the Sigma 50, I don't know if the Tamron 45 is actually on the table? But if possible, it should be. It's an interesting lens, with strengths that make it a ...

C'mon, Bob: you aren't telling the whole story here. The E-M1 "X" whispers bespeak fantastical features of all feathers: (1) An 80MP sensor-shift mode that can produce hand-holdable results at 1/60 sec ...

@ThomasIII: I believe DPReview can be better. *Much* better. They've offered a comment section, here, to solicit such thoughts, so I use it to offer them.

If DPReview didn't care to hear from...

@ ThomasIII: DPReview more focused?

Nah.

Nilay and Dieter at The Verge beat Richard & Co. like a Cherokee drum to appropriately breathless photographic "coverage" of the latest big player...

And it was something TheVerge, 9to5mac, Engadget, and the rest of the phone-tech "press" explored two months ago.

The problem with putting your eggs in the phone basket, Richard--beyond the...

You all know where this AI cloud-computational-imaging ends: deep fakes. That isn't going to be a fun world, folks.

And while we're getting there, these shenanigans won't hold at exposure and tone...

So this instead of lens reviews, eh?

Here's a prophesy, DPReview: if you actually care for photography, you're going to regret putting so many "journalistic" eggs in the phone-cloud-computational...

So, camera + lenses we're talking about an investment that's at least in the neighborhood of $5K - $6K, right? I suppose it depends on the lenses, so maybe more or maybe less. I've always thought ...

Actually, the more I think about this, the more absurd it gets.

DPReview, you've got forums *full* of people claiming to drop $3000, $4000 on Nikon Z7s & D850s, Sony A9s and A7R3s, Canon 5D4s,...

Why is this thread an "editor's pick"?

One person decides C1 is now too expensive: fair enough, but how is that informative for the rest of us? We can't see Jadot's work, here. We have no idea...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

On the one hand, every camera company seemed to want $2K or more for their latest bodies and $1K, $2K, $3K for a decent lens.

On the other...

Yeah yeah, some poor soul always gets cast as "The Blackberry" in these tired, Apple-aggrandizing tech morality plays. Meanwhile Steve Jobs was a colossal dickwad, Google-Android ate his company's ...

Thanks, Vella, for reminding us once again why the DPReview forums have become a howling void of complete-and-utter practical irrelevance to the photographic arts. Because only here would someone ...

The famous naturalist photographer Galen Rowell often ran into the pre-digital version of this modest problem, with most galleries and publications of the time insisting on medium- or large-format ...

If you don't need f/1.4, and you weren't accustomed to shooting your 105DC wide open, then Tokina may make what you want: the 100mm f/2.8 AT-X "Pro" Macro, which is also an excellent ...

Yes. (I've owned one for four years!) "Document?" Dude, it's three steps: (1) Turn on camera's WiFi. (2) Pick WiFi signal on phone. (3) Open WMU app and pick photos you want to transfer, or flip ...

Right. Pair once, upload every shot thereafter if you want. It's a single-click share from the Snapbridge (or WMU) app into the app (or network) of your choice. Even with the older 2014-era ...
