That's fair enough. I'm limited by being on Verizon in US, so CDMA capability is a must. I am sticking with Android OS. I'm looking for something released in the last year or so and presumably ...

Thanks for the thoughts, Glen. I am also on Verizon in USA, and my son has a Droid Turbo he likes very much. I'll have to give some of the non-flagship Motorola models consideration. Dan

OK, so my subject line may sound odd, but here's the real explanation. I enjoy photography as a hobbyist. When I want to take a usable photograph, I will likely do so with a P&S digital camera ...

On both fronts, Canon has stepped up its prime lines to the 1"sensor lines. The G9 X appears to be to smallest camera with a 1" sensor. The G3 X is Canon's super-zoom model in the same arena. EDIT: ...

This site caters primarily to photographers, whether amateur or professional. I will readily admit that most humans visiting this site, whether they consider themselves "photographers" or not, have...

Feel better now that you got that off your chest? I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you. I have the software installed but don't try to transfer images via Wi-Fi to my desktop PC. I use a card ...

Yes, I meant the Hasselblad mod. My mistake. My point was that if that mod essentially adds a P&S lens and sensor to the phone's processor rather than augmenting the phone's lens and sensor, the...

TO all those comparing the "DSLR" mod to other smart phone add-on lenses, bear in mind that the original Zeiss camera mod includes a lens and sensor (1/2.3"). It does not simply modify the optics...

I understand your point and agree that this would be closer to MILC as bubblyboo commented, but you should also be more careful to proofread your own comment before criticizing the lack thereof by...

Busy weekend in New Hampshire. We had the annual sand sculpting contest at Hampton Beach. This one was my favorite, but not the winner. Earlier in the week (on Flag Day) a local real estate company ...

If all you're looking for is something to transfer images from your camera or memory card to your computer (as opposed to something to process the images themselces), try Digital Image Mover at ...

My understanding of Canon's macro mode is that it simply limits the available focal range to near subjects. I don't think it even tries to favor a larger aperture for shallow DOF. It does not ...

That is how it works on the G9 X. I would add that when you go into Av mode to start the process, set all settings to a usable default starting point you'd like to see when you turn the camera on ...

Sparrow Submitted in part to bump the thread and in part because I had fun with this one. At least, I'm pretty sure they are sparrows. Dan

I love the concept of this MC! Simon and Garfunkel have been a part of my life since childhood -- part of the soundtrack, if you will. I also appreciate the idea of limiting the linkage to the ...

I've never had a problem carrying a small tripod in my carry-on bag, though I have seen plenty of puzzled looks on the faces of the screeners as they try to determine what that item with all the ...

Oh, and even though you didn't ask, here's the link to the video I put together with my G9 X (except for the very last bit, of course). https://vimeo.com/173422074

Color me embarrassed. "Raw" makes perfect sense in context, and for once I wasn't even trying to be cheeky. I do wish the G9 X had a more flexible time lapse mode and I keep checking for CHDK ...

(1) What is "ras?" I'm not familiar with that term. (2) G9 X does have time lapse, but only in the start time lapse mode. I compiled a video ...

Stone Arch Bridge, Stoddard, NH I guess someone has to go first. When I saw the prior mini topic, my first thought was if I happened to have a good entry and happened to win the challenge, I should ...
