  • "converting large batches of RAW" = exporting photos read before you comment
  • If the difference between the M1 Max and Ultra is anything to go by, then the Ultra will have a performance benefit when converting large batches of RAW files since this is a process that ...
  • When someone says they would love this on m43, that implies that they want this exact lens, not the equivalent

  • Panasonic 12mm f1.4 would be a better choice for m43

  • When you change the display resolution on any recent version of mac OS, the display resolution does not actually change - it always runs at full resolution. You're just changing the "display ...
  • First of all you need to decide on the speed you need. If you shoot mostly landscapes and video up to 4K30, then you can get away with a regular V30 (or U3) SD card, which is cheap, no matter what ...
  • I've been using the iPhone 14 pro for a while now and taken it on several trips as my only camera. Initially I was extremely pleased with the images. The 48MP RAW resolution is incredible - better ...
  • I always see this same condescending attitude on photography forums. Why are family and vacation photos considered to be a less legitimate form of photography than any other form of photography? ...
  • Not sure if that first comment was sarcasm, but no it can't be used as a shutter for exposure. It moves far too slow and it only has one curtain. Exposure shutters need 2 curtains.

  • Of course an f4 lens is more desirable, but if Nikon stopped at f4.5, there must be a good reason. Most likely, going to f4 would have required a complete redesign with a more complicated optical ...
  • I would say Minolta, which then became Konica Minolta, and then was taken over by Sony. I would count them as one company. Minolta made the first AF SLR camera, first camera with eye sensor, which ...
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-24_4-pkVwk&t=697s Maxtech did a comparison between these two processors (in desktop machines). The M2 pro is faster for most things, including photo editing, but ...
  • It doesn't make sense to put a secondary SD card slot on these high-end cameras anymore. CFExpress B is cheaper and faster than a decent SD UHS-II card. Just give it dual CFExB slots.

  • The trash button can't be reprogrammed to re-centre AF point in 1 press. I reprogrammed the AF select button to do that in 1 press (the button with the 5 squares in a cross shape). But I also ...
  • By default it requires 2 button pushes, AF select then trash. I've reconfigured the AF select button to do it in 1 push. The reconfigured AF select button does it. I haven't tried this, but when I ...
  • In bird photography, you're almost always cropping, so I wouldn't choose the R3 for birding as it has a lower resolution and pixel density. Money no object, I'd go for the Nikon Z9 or Sony A1 as ...
  • I don't have windows PC to check, but have you tried importing from camera using EOS Utility?
  • Dual pixel RAW allows you to slightly adjust focus in post processing, using Canon's DPP software. You can also slightly adjust the bokeh and viewpoint. I haven't used it myself, but from what I've ...
  • It could be a fault with the VR mechanism of the lens. Modern VR lenses compensate for angular motion at far distances and both angular and translational motion at closer distances. So it is ...
  • I haven't used DPP for many years, but from what I remember, when you use DLO, you need to turn sharpening off completely, otherwise you end up with a massively over-sharpened image.
