Lack of knowledge about VR is irritating - the camera obviously does know whether it's engaged or not, and could do a bodge estimate on that basis. As you say, the 1/F rule or modifications to ...

Who knows, but pretty close, and partly why HWM is so darn useful, way beyond the stage-lighting type scenarios that abound in descriptions for its use. I'm frequently switching to it anytime ...

I agree that Manual plus auto-iso is the game-changer, this was certainly an eye-opener coming from film. It's also what Steve Perry suggests in some wildlife contexts, I do recommend his book on AF. ...

Information that it would reduce manufacturing costs (as opposed to prices) was from the main vendors and their press & corporate statements - as well as this esteemed site.

The logic being that...

Good compacts are incredibly frustrating at the moment, because they are often stunningly "overpriced". Obviously, people pay the money, and at reduced volumes, make a few bucks. But it doesn't...

I'm not sure about advice as such, but observations from my experience - I've come from film too. I suppose I've increased the time I spend on post, but in some ways, that has been a kind of ...

Likewise, and I'd also have recommended the lovely light non-intimidating cheap 70-210/4-5.6 AF D except that the OP wants to use on Z bodies so AF S and beyond is indicated. Because lens rendering ...

I'm wondering if perhaps you might explore a bit more your expectations of what wider apertures will give you, and in what circumstances. It seems like you have a view of what f2.8 or f1.4 will ...

Enough said I think, that's the way it is. Blue hour photography?  I'll have my D750, thanks, which gives more room for post at base ISO, with fewer compromises on nominally static scenes (they ...

I haven't used the Godox wireless transmitter in Olympus/Pana form, but you can get transmitters with that option e.g. the XPro-O TTL trigger which also does HSS. There's also various Godox flash ...

And, not wanting to be curmudgeonly, I wish people would leave the Galapagos alone. Also, if you have room, take some binoculars and be wherever you are.

Just to add to that, if the dslr is used for stills in the OVF, the poster above is accepting LiveView style LCD video anyway. Which means that ML video cameras would work just as well (if not ...

Perhaps the other option for you is to split the requirement in two parts, one for stills, one for video. For this and other reasons, I couldn't be happier than with the combination of D750 & ...

Sb-400 is a good practical choice for the uses you have - and you still have the sb900 if you need the FP/HSS or more power. I've sometimes used my sb-800 from a belt bag with an sc-29 cable ...

If you use flash with auto-iso or any of the non-manual exposure modes, you have lost control, in an unpredictable way. In the pictures you've shown where you want ambient to dominate, you need ...

So: "If anyone needs IBIS, it would be beginners, not to say advanced users don’t need em but its better served for entry level."

and "IBIS is for some people that do not know the proper way to...

@foskito, I was referring to the X-E line which is indeed ancient - I know because I have an X-E1 which is great for what it is. But, all these years later, I can't even get IBIS in what is...

@foskito - it's $29.37 marginal factory gate cost.

Which they'll make up on all that wonderful lens line up they have in their coherent aps-c strategy.

@marximus MILC for $700 with IBIS? E-M10 IV. MFT has had IBIS as standard for many years, and unlike some of these cameras, has a very wide lens choice.

@Foskito - I'm very disappointed that the...

Yet again, the aps-c vendors seem to imagine that IBIS is a feature that should attract nice $$$$ feature premium. Despite that the FF and MFT world has abandoned that nonsense long ago.
