@Marty4650 For me it's the exact opposite: the 6D II marks the first time I'd though that gosh, I guess I'll never own a FF Canon. I'd actually be willing to spend the extra cash for a 5D IV, but...

You left out the inevitable nods to Ansel Adams.

Well, he's right, but that doesn't make the ambulance-chasing aspect of this any less reprehensible.

Well, on the video side, Blackmagic cameras Auto-Iris button (in film mode) does just that: press the button, and the camera stops down so that the hottest pixel on the sensor doesn't clip. It's a ...

A fairer comparison might be between a refurbished 6D ($1099, direct from Canon) and the The 6D Mark II ($2000). Are the incremental upgrades worth the $900? The articulating screen makes me almost ...

Great question. I've been thinking through this myself, actually, and trying to put things in perspective. My last Canon DSLR was a 40D (yes, 2007), and with that camera, shooting outside under ...

Well, it didn't really answer my single pressing question: does the new sensor help overcome AT ALL that crushed-shadow look that I'd grown to dislike in the old Canon sensor tech? My understanding ...

AVCHD has a file size limit of 2GB, so if your shots run longer, they're split into shorter 2GB pieces (it's called "file spanning"). Cameras usually came with software that allowed you to ...

This is all very subjective, so take it for what it's worth: Have you tried undoing the distortion? It's a very tough perspective to relate to, and almost works against the image. The zooms (real ...

I've played too many early CD-Rom adventure games. I kept looking for clues or narratives that weren't there...like, what's with the random goose? why is he approaching the creepy guy with the...

This is probably just one of a series of experiments,each of which approaches the problem in a slightly different way.

An even poorer craftsman doesn't recognize when his peddler-of-tools is ripping him off.

It's not an either/or. I've had an X-T1 for a while, but I occasionally still miss the OVF I had on my Canon. With a DSLR, you get to choose between electronic via live view and optical.

Ideally,...

Benchmarks for the iPad Pro are very impressive; I get the impression the hardware is ahead of the software, so it will be interesting to see what developers come up with to make use of all that...

I once considered doing volunteer work for PETA. At the time, I only knew that they were interested in protecting the welfare of animals. But as part of the application process, you're asked to...

I'm sorry to see there's still no Windows version. I've been using Sony's Catalyst Prepare to do some of this...it's the only software I've found that can select and trim Canon's XF-AVC straight ...

It's good to know that at least one committee counts among its members both 'Northrop Grumman' and 'The Toy Association'.

I installed it, but the lack of metadata management (keywords, smart bins, etc.) make it a pass. Or are those functions there and I missed them?

While I haven't used R14 much, reading through the...

You know, that didn't even register until you pointed it out. "iPhone" and "cell phone" are apparently interchangeable, at least in my brain. (Then again, my only phone is a flip phone that doesn't...

Sounds pretty specialized: "Imaging with a flash and mechanical shutter after this all-pixel global reset makes it possible to align the exposure start timing of all pixels, achieving storage...
