Lensy McLens Face?

What is the purpose of 8k video, given the limits of human vision?
Is it simply so you can grab a single frame from the video stream and then crop out a section?

I've also taken pictures of interesting ceilings with my camera on the floor, and the screen unfolded out nd to the side facing up. I can then be sure I'm aiming the camera just right. Then use the...

Robbing banks comes later...

"the diameter of 51.6 millimetres was chosen"

Who designed this thing to not be a round number in millimetres?

It's 2.031 inches, also not a round number.

Can someone explain?

Micro4/3rds has been a great success when you consider how many companies make cameras or lenses using this standard lens mount.

Is this new mirrorless lens mount going to be easily licensed by...

I love having fully articulated screens on my cameras, there's a few shots I'd definitely have missed, whether it's holding my camera way above my head to get a shot above a crowd, or not having to...

This is very clever technology! Sure, it means phone cameras can start to compete with compact cameras which have larger sensors and larger lenses... But you can use that tech to improve...

The Lumix series from Panasonic used to only have lens stabilisation, for the same reasons you quote, and I agree if you can only have one system, that's the best choice. Olympus went the other way...

The Noct lens will be beyond most people's budget, costing more than most people spend on camera gear in a decade!

Well, given this is a premium system because of the 35mm sensor, I can't imagine Nikon bringing out a much cheaper models (to rival the d3xxx, d5xxx and d7xxx crop sensor range), but I agree there...

I hope Nikon make it reasonably cheap to licence the system, like micro4/3rds, to build a rival ecosystem to m43, so we will see an interesting range of third party lenses and interesting/unusual...

At the moment of writing this, 26th August (Sunday, before midday, UK time) there are 19 people who say they own it. How is this possible?

I'd consider switching from micro4/3rds if Nikon or Canon produce a mirrorless system that's not been deliberately designed to be a poor alternative to their full DSLRs so as not to compete. I...

easy at making money for lawyers!

no, @srados I can only give or assign the rights which are mine to give or assign. If I give you a piece of art which is copyrighted and the copyright wasn't assigned to me, you get to keep your...

But isn't it the case that the US Gov't can't claim copyright on things?

So it depends on whether the Gov't are keepers...

actually, many young people only think about whether a device is an Apple (iphone or pad) or a Samsung or other big name. It's unlikely they could explain anything specific technical difference...

I think something went wrong with the hotshoe.
