Right when was to buy a G7 ThinkPad X1 Carbon with 8-th gen i7, 16/512GB and FHD touch screen with the idea to add an second external portable ThinkVision M14T monitor later to make up for lower ...

Though I live in Canada, I’m not actually from here. Was looking at the ThinkPad X390, I think that’s around $800-1000 for an i7 LTE version, but it only has FHD too. I think my actual laptop has ...

I use the Pocket 2 almost as near as a cell phone, although it may not be great for the vision, it’s similar to using a twice bigger laptop on the desk. The only thing that’s problematic is ...

My current laptop is the GPD Pocket 2 with the Intel Core m3 8100-Y processor, 8GB and 128GB SSD. Resolution is 1920x1200 and the screen is 7”. Was looking for something with higher resolution, ...

The Z6 was from August, 2018 and it wasn’t quite state of the art when announced. The Z5 was launched recently in 2020, but it is a lower spec Z6 with dual card SD slots.

The A7R...

Nikon use a BSI sensor in the better Z6. Native ISO could be misleading.

Nikon, Canon or Sony won’t upgrade you for free from their 20-24 MP to their 45 MP cameras but rather charge you something...

Ridiculous to compare the Z5 to the Sony A7 III, I see a very strong bios trying to downplay price differences (Oct 22, 2020):

Nikon Z5 - $1300 (6ave)
Nikon Z6 - $1.400 (6ave)
Sony A7 III - $1.780...

Perhaps the Lumix G9 makes more sense than the Olympus E-M1 Mark II, even when the Olympus is probably slightly better for stills and is also lighter. Panasonic Leica has great lenses too.

Exactly, since last year I bought several used Nikon and Canon DSLR’s and I’m paying off a Sony A7R II, all very inexpensive. Once it’s not the actual model, digital cameras depreciate very quickly. ...

Don’t worry, I agree the “loser” comment was uncalled for . . . I see M4/3 very complementary to a FF system, and also a quite good system on its own.

IMO, Olympus couldn’t make money on M4/3, but the idea, cameras and lenses look great - to me. Maybe the costumers didn’t understand the advantages. It certainly makes more sense than APS-C/DX ...

Was very impressed by the fact the Leica 100-400mm 4.0-6.3 is the equivalent of a full frame 200-800mm lens and weights just 1kg. Later on, Olympus launched their somewhat bigger 100-400mm version ...

To be honest, not sure where the “learn to zoom with your feet” concept came from. If that were a panacea, all pro’s would always shot with a single lens, yet most prefer the Leica M to a...

I would rather have a camera with interchangeable lenses, set of lenses, a GPD 7" or 8.9" high resolution windows laptop for editing on the go and a cellphone to upload.

There must be a niche for...

The problem was their ink-jet printer business was under pressure from HP, a better known brand for that kind of products. Their digital camera business, was affected because they didn't have...

If you want to spend a lot, technically the best AF normal lenses are the Sigma Art 40mm 1.4, Tokina Opera 50mm 1.4 and Sigma Art 50mm 1.4. Though, artistically the best AF normal lens is the Nikon ...

I also (still) have the D800 and Df, and have the same impression regarding high ISO performance.

Good thing about digital cameras is that one can get a good camera, that was top or near top of the line, for a fraction of the original cost. While capabilities didn’t increase exponentially, but ...

Quite different  cameras, the D4 is top of the line camera with everything, high frame rates, huge batteries, high ISO capabilities. And the D800E has better resolution and built in flash. Similar ...

I bought a D800 by around $400, from a local store, taxes included, 3 months guarantee that I think still could be valid and I don’t remember well the actuations, maybe around 30.000. They had a ...
