Yes, a Lenovo X230. It's small, fast, and has an excellent screen. I use it for backup, to make sure the photos aren't corrupted (lost a whole day once and might have recovered it if I had known), ...

As an aspiring hummingbird photographer, and as one who bought the RX10iii in anticipation of a bird photo trip to Ecuador in a month, let me respond as if I had taken it. Technically, spot on. The ...

My personal testing showed that cropping and upsizing with Photoshop gave better results than the digital zoom on the RX10iii. I would imagine that downsizing would work the same way, but have not ...

Lots of good suggestions. I'll put in my vote for backup and more backup. You say you would view on a 27" monitor and/or make A4 prints. That means that almost any digital camera made today is up ...

When I want GPS I use a separate logger - The QSTARZ Travel Recorder XT - probably obsolete but works for me. You just carry it with you, recharging every night, and downloading occasionally to ...

Another vote for the RX100 MK 1. IMHO the newer versions are "better", but not enough for me to upgrade. I took it as the only camera on a France trip this spring and was totally satisfied with ...

Yup - tufted. I had a geographic blackout there.

Looks like either an Oak Titmouse or a Juniper Titmouse, depending on where you were.

I see your point about small characters in the scenes, and if you want to do the same with the macaw as a special treat that's fine. I still think a bit of cropping for a panorama might be ...

Good potential, but I think it needs major cropping, either as a panorama or a quirky image with an incongruous bird. I don't see how it can be both because the bird, although large in life, is ...

For this kind of subject use the Dynamic Manual focus and Center Focus and turn on the zebras. Once your subject is in frame and the camera has decided where to focus, you can manually make the ...

Sony makes this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1082056-REG/sony_rmt_vp1k_wireless_receiver_and.html Or you could try the android app instead of the Apple app and see if it's any better.

I used the InDesign option because (1) I knew InDesign [if you don't, it's an interesting learning curve], and (2) I was able to design the book EXACTLY as I wanted. InDesign is a desktop ...

To be clear, I do not use PlayMemories as an editor. All I want is to get the files off the SD card and into the computer without overwriting old files when a new one with the same name comes ...

More than a PIA!. I makes copying and backup a gigantic PIA. If (IF!) you can install PlayMemories, it converts the MTS file names to date+some number I don't understand, but at least it makes the ...

Update - I was too optimistic. This problem is also happening with the XAVC videos. Only the MP4s are numbering properly.

I can't load PlayMemories into my laptop (not an unusual problem) so I have to copy files from the SD card manually, or with a file copy program. So, I see that when I record an AVCHD file it ends ...

One reason I did move to a 1" sensor - DOF.

Certainly acceptable for noise. Did you try to sharpen it, or just de-noise?

As I posted earlier, I'm going with the a77ii and the Sony 55-200mm lens as backup - another small sensor camera that costs a few hundred won't match the a77ii in quality. I agree it would be ...
