iShootWideOpen: This is really good for current D5 owners as their prices will not decline much, if any.

CanonSharpShooter: Sony & Nikon needs to take notes and learn how to build some lenses.

robert614: I’ve had the EOS R since it’s release. I’ve found a few things I’d like to see addressed with a firmware update.
1. Image Stabilization is always on. Seems like unnecessary wear and tear on the IS mechanism. I hesitate to put my EF lenses on it because of this. Please make it behave like a DSLR.
2. When zooming in to check focus, the camera zooms into the center of the image when using any AF mode where you manually select the AF point. Same thing happens when using Eye-AF or face detection. I want to zoom into the selected AF point, not the center. Works properly in any of the zone modes though. Not sure why.
3. Face detection and Eye-AF are only available in wide zone mode. Please make it available in all modes. That way I can be in single point mode, taking pictures. Then if a face is detected, the camera automatically brings up the face box. So I can quickly take a photo without having to change to wide zone. Take a photo. Then change back to single point.
"Uhh, can't you just turn off IS with the switch on the lens?"
several hundred times a day? a thousand times???

this is an excellent point!
another stunner, ed! nice work!
congratulations, ed! it's a lovely shot.
Chris J Newman: It would be great if Nikon and Canon shared their mirroless lens mount, so that we could choose between them for the best lenses. It would also help them compete with Sony.
Fat chance though!
+1

they also need to design a new 50mm f/1.2 bokeh monster to go with this beast of a sensor and mount the whole thing on a harley. eat your heart out, ansel.
Docno: These situations are a lot more complex than many people understand and cannot simply be attributed to poor training, cowardice, or malice. There are biological processes involved, for example the fact that potential threat information is routed to our “emotional reaction centre” (the amygdala) before it reaches our slower “analytical processing centre” (the frontal cortex). We evolved this way because it’s maladaptive to take time to decide whether that thing in the grass is a stick or a snake. Here’s how one behavioral scientist explains it:
“Crucially, while sensory information reaches the amygdala rapidly by this shortcut, it isn’t terribly accurate (since, after all, accuracy is what the cortex supplies).... this produces tragic circumstances where, say, the amygdala decides it’s seeing a handgun before the visual cortex can report that it’s actually a cell phone.”
< “emotional reaction centre” (the amygdala)>
here's more police drama clearly caused by an underdeveloped amygdala.

Thanks very much! :)
salamander1: photographers who don't use lens hoods are sloppy shooters who produce sloppy pictures and videos. at least half the sun flares could have been avoided or more artistically presented with the use of a lens hood, let alone increasing the natural contrast and clarity of the pictures. it's so unprofessional.
"Those unprofessional photos were taken by professional photographers for clients that like and pay for their work. Photography isn’t a science. It is an art. Art, like beauty, is determined partly by the beholder, partly by society's support and/or recognition of it. Your comment is silly."
maybe my comment is a bit silly, but there is nothing silly about lens hoods. ask that rock that flew out of nowhere and hit my lens hood couple of days ago, instead of hitting the beautiful, shiny front element. thanks for the art and beauty lesson nevertheless. no hard feelings. :)

"I'm just curious, it's really overcast here today, and I'll be going out to shoot a little later, is it necessary for me to use a lens hood?"
well, that depends on the kind of lenses you're going to use. some lenses come with build-in hoods, love those, and some require that you attach the lens hood yourself. great "pros" can get by without lens hoods, of course. you can see them walking around taking photos with their lens hoods on backwards, while lesser photographers don't have the same courage. so it all depends.

Albert Valentino: The Pixel peepers dream has finally come true, at least for now 🤗
haha! :)
ozturert: If you are a keen reader of DPR, you all know what takes to take a good photo:
Number 1: ISO invariance
Number 2: Dynamic range (i.e. recover shadows by +5EV)
Number 3: Performance at ISO25600+
All others come after these key points

great framing, perfect verticals, soft, caressing light and wonderful color. nothing more to say. congratulations!
lovely shot!
shigzeo: I dislike the M10's shutter sound, which is pitched higher than the M240, but apart from that, think it a solid camera, if crazily expensive, especially in Japan. I have two.
