While I would agree it is not that relevant in general discussion on formats, we are comparing two specific cameras with specific implementations here so it is actually quite relevant. Effectively ...

While I broadly agree that there is high IQ possible in pretty much every format, a lot of the time this is testricted to the center of the frame. I like landscape so the specific implementation ...

What i would teally be interested in seeing is an exchaustive comparison of the X-H1 with the 16-55 f2.8 and the A7-III with the 24-105. In particular would like to see both wide open and stoped ...

Any idea how it compares to an xt-1 with an MHG-XT large hand grip or the equivalent one for the XT-2? (Not the battery grip, the one that ,makes the handgrip only deeper)

I would be more interested if it was shifted to be something more like a 14-56 or 14-70 f4. I would trade reduced long end range for consistent wide open performance and minimal software correction.

The one down side of the clutch is you can't focus manually and then switch the clutch to lock it without changing the focus.

Why don't you just leave it in manual focusing mode? This lens is a bit strange with the clutch. If you have the clutch out, but put it in AF it won't focus. You need to enable the instant AF ...

The 18-55 and the 14mm make a good travel kit. They have the same size filters, the same hoods, etc, and are small and similar size. The 14 is distinctly wider that a 16mm would be, and is about ...

VAT.
This always comes up, the VAT is applied to the sticker price in Europe, sales tax is applied at the register in the USA.

I have a X-T1 and a 7DII. The X-T1 is frustrating in low light. There aren't any good focus assist options in low light either (like you can get from the better canon flashes). That being said, it ...

Across the shoulder helps keep it on, but it tends to tangle with the other blackrapid straps then. I will have to experiment more.

It did not appear to be (badly) decentered. I noticed the same issue on both sides. Could have still been off, but I have seen a similar issue in some but not all sample images I have found ...

I don't tend to take a backpack when I go out most of the time, and I have tried 'rifle' style, but I find it tends to slide off my shoulder.,,

Seconded on this one. Just need a single axis as the monopod is fairly maneuverable. If you use BlackRapid straps you can get a BR attachment point that replaces the screw in a Monfroto QR plate so ...

I wanted to like the 16-55. I got it with the XT-1 originally, but I found that it had trouble in the outer half of the frame when shooting near infinity distance. (The center was good so the ...

My understanding is that Camera RAW recognises the DR setting and sets the exposure appropriate to what the equivalent ISO was (so the overall brightness would be right), but it does not apply a ...

I have been running into something similar to this problem with my XT-1. I think it is a problem with the PDAF, as when I use MF + AF-ON i don't typically get it. I will have to experiment more. Th ...
