A suggestion for another topic: "Best cameras for grandparents" - and then introduce the cameras with only an:

on-off switch
zoom lever
release button
play / erase button

no other settings...

@anticipation_of: don't worry, I think it is an interesting and objective discussion. Nothing wrong with that, although most of it has been discussed 235.456 times before :). And yes, comparing raw...

ok, but to squeeze the best out of a sensor, any compressed format has losses, right? If only quality matters (and size not) you would always develop your raws to an uncompressed format like a...

ok, thanks for explaining!

why do you think JPG is mediocre for photos? Regarding compression abilities, or picture quality?

@Ceving, I own a rx100iii and of course you can get decent portraits with a blurred background. Why shouldn't it be possible? at 70mm and max. aperture and with a background far away enough from...

sounds quite reasonable. But statistics say that Canon still has the biggest market share...

The best camera for parents are the ones that you
- are willing to carry around
- do know well how to handle
- can afford

No matter if it says Sony, Nikon or Canon on it. Unless you are a gear...

"What camera do we recommend to them?!" - if I think of my parents... the one that is the most easy to handle ;). If it is small, even better.

I wonder why it is like it is... Is it just a coinsidence or are there real life advantages to Nikon for this kind of photos? To be honest, I would claim that probably all of the winning photos...

IMHO, for most of the tourists, a DSLR is just "too much" and has ever been. They think it has to be a DSLR because of the picture quality but do not know or take the time to think about the right...

Still a silly Idea, sorry.

@dgumshu, read my other answer to you further up, then we can try to take it to a factual level again, if you like. good night.

@Johnny "Peter the German can't help himself. He hates America! Zeig heil!"
I do not hate any country in the world, why should I? I traveled the US several times. What I indeed hate is when people...

@dgumshu: ok, let's try to not being personal:
- I am fully aware of high gun violence instances in the US
- I am fully aware and understand that cops are nervous when entering a dangerous area or...

@johnny "Hey, borat, "historical" is not a proper noun" - well, if you are running out of arguments, you blame people (that obviously do not speak english as a mother language) for spelling...

@Johnny, getting personal in this kind of way is nothing but trolling. I have colleagues from around the world, incl. US. My office mate is from Chicago and we discuss a lot about cultural things...

@dgumshu "you don't provide any substantive information other than rambling opinion without experience, background or training. You're not credible at all"
of course anything we (incl. you and me)...

@dgumshu, you say "You have no experience in shootings or apprehending suspects. ... How much training have you had in making arrests?"

with all respect, BUT:
- in this instance, there was no...
