I liked them.  They look good as a group, and to be fair, that's the idea.

And "Picard" isn't helping.

For sure, all this "AI" enhancement hoo-ha.

I just flatten my nose with some duct tape.

Maybe twice in 50 years. Sure, it could happen, but....

I have both a Z50 and a Z6. Once in a while, I want the slightly better DR and low light performance of the Z6. But not often. The Z50 is great; to be honest, there's actually nothing I couldn't ...

"Crop camera" is just bogus full frame marketing. Nothing is being cropped in a "crop" camera. Oh but what if I'm using a full-frame lens, you say?  Haven't I just created a crop camera?   No.  If ...

A sleeve.  Seriously.  A cotton shirt isn't going to damage a glass lens unless maybe you've been sleeping in it, on a beach.

That's true. People want a new phone because they want a new phone. Then, they have to justify that upgrade to their friends, and the only thing they can think of is the camera - which of course ...

Removable flash drive, and a SmugMug account.

And yet someone recently posted  comment on my blog saying they'd had exactly the same problem.   So who knows why it does or doesn't happen in different cases. Good luck with OneDrive, I've moved on.

I quit using OneDrive for photos after finding out it was messing up my metadata. I wrote a blog post with the details of what's going on: https://jimhphoto.com/index.php/2020/11/13/onedrive-for-ph ...

Simplify your life by purging your mind of all thoughts of DPI and PPI. Those concepts are just not relevant to photography today. I have a blog post explaining this: https://jimhphoto.com/index.ph ...

I'd use the Keystone tool now and then, but I have PTGui for panos. The HDR might be useful but typically I get everything I want in a single raw file. If they ever decide to give us a real, useful ...

"Keyhole" - fat fingers! Thanks, I'd correct that except that as always, DPR won't allow edits after the first 30 seconds, or whatever.

... and all I see is a new Keyhole correction tool.  But wait.... it's using AI!!! Is there anything else to this upgrade?  I'm still on 21 and not seeing a reason to buy 22.

There's another recent thread on this. And I just wrote a blog post about choosing a POD, which some might find interesting: https://jimhphoto.com/index.php/2022/02/28/the-perfect-pod/

I'm on FAA and sell at least a couple prints every month. There are currently a lot of PODs and some are much better than others. And there are a number of important points of comparison and things ...

I'm just getting interested in AP and it looks like the video tutorials on their site are actually pretty good.  And I usually hate videos.

Mirrorless, and don't look back. Some of the reasons for preferring mirrorless aren't immediately obvious; I have a blog post about that. https://jimhphoto.com/index.php/2019/12/10/mirrorless-its-t ...
