Class A

@rawdinal

Thanks for bringing up one of the advantages of OVFs. There are of course more. However, I'm tired of going into a back and forth with mirrorless fans. There's no point.

@panther fan
There are sufficiently many Pentax or Pentax-compatible landscape lenses available.

Repeating the "lenses are a problem" mantra does not make it true.

Yes, certain specialty lenses...

@Adam0007

Pentax is not "doomed", it is just not on DPReview's radar. They prefer hybrid cameras that do video well and have a strong priority on fast continuous AF. They regard DSLRs as...

@TheRealYeats
You can pre-process the PixelShift files with dcrawps, or RawTherapee and then process them in your favourite big-name image processing program.

Indeed, in particular DSLRs still deserve consideration as landscape cameras.

No Pentax K-1 II?

Fantastic camera for landscape photography.
Pixel Shift, sensor shift to fine-tune composition, weather-sealed, long-battery life (allows composition without wasting battery...

Thanks to DPReview for covering these nice developments.

How many people like the anachronistic controls of Fuji cameras? Apparently a lot.

A hybrid viewfinder would be cool as it would demonstrate that DSLRs can provide a superset of what MILCs provide, but MILCs cannot ever fully replace DSLRs without giving up on something....

They will complain that one cannot insert Super 8 film. Also, what about not being able to shoot at 20 frames per second? How can anyone work with a frame rate that is lower than that?

@timoteotresgatos

You will be able to buy any new major version.

FWIW, "C1 23" refers to all 16.x.y versions.
It does not matter though, you'll be able to purchase a perpetual licence for any...

@timoteotresgatos

That's not the story at all.

"There will be no C1 24" only refers to the version numbering scheme. There will be new versions and you will be able to buy perpetual licences for...

@Name That Camera

You wrote "The only thing in which LR excels is in its catalogue options."

Note the present tense. This is just patently wrong because LR is now better than C1 regarding...

@Name That Camera

It probably has been a while since you last looked at LR. It caught up quite a bit regarding colour editing and offers operations on masks that C1 does not.

When I switched from...

2. Releasing features on a continuous basis, i.e., not accumulating any for a bigger release has the potential of cutting down the testing time. If Capture One previously developed a feature,...

@lama

I agree that many people misinterpret the announcement. I don't think Capture One has chosen words as carefully as they could have and failed to come up with the optimal level of clarity --...

@DarnGoodPhotos

I think we agree that many users are overreacting, but there are still reasons to be upset about:

1. Perpetual licence holders will get significantly fewer bug fixes than is...

@Astro Landscapes

You are describing a trend towards renting software as if it were an inevitable natural law that would just run to its conclusion.

This need not be the case. What if customers...

@lauma
I 100% agree with you that recent C1 UI changes have been amateurish, to be generous.

I don't understand your point about what clients want, though. Of course, theoretically some clients...

I couldn't agree more to your observations about constant UI changes that make the software worse. At least one person at Capture One has no idea what they are doing when it comes to UI design....
