How deep is the learning? Six feet under? 100 feet? Help me out. Kids now-a-days crack me up. Deep learning. In the old days they called it higher learning. Oh well.

Real intelligence is...

Here we go again, calling an advanced algorithm AI, when it is not really AI.

I'll call it AI, when the computer asks me if the watermark removal is satisfactory, and I tell the computer the...

The Z7 ii gets a score of 89, as does the Z5. Yet the Z5 gets a glowing conclusion and a gold award, and the Z7 ii gets an OK review and a silver award.

The review criteria used are hard to...

You will have to remind me what those features were but from my memory they were mostly bug fixes and minor tweaks. Anything major waited to the next version.

And my opinion, often the major...

This is not that much of a change. Under the previous model, perpetual license holders did not get new features which only came out once a year with the new release. Instead of new features...

It sounds like the goal then is to take something that is real and make it look fake. Can't believe people make a living doing that. Give me a good Quentin Tarantino film shot with 65mm film,...

Is it racist if I have no idea I was being racist? But I was trying to be obtuse and tie together a few different comments into one reply so thanks for noticing that.

What I meant was the...

...but i don't have any yen on buy these, or cats, or a Z9. I'm moving on.

Is this really drone footage or is it all CGI? Somehow it seems all a bit fake looking to me.

There are exceptions. The gold standard of personal audio playback is a program called Roon. You put your database on a NAS or a computer, then you can add in every CD you ever copied onto your...

Said no one ever.

FUD

Deep Learning!!! Yea, I know. Kind of like how I can now take a photo of a plant and my phone can tell me what kind of plant it is. But it is still just an algorithm. The point is that while...

Artificial Intelligence is the second most overused misleading term next to the word "immersive." The marketing folks could not help themselves, I suppose. All it is, is a smart masking tool...

With any award or score, a smart photographer will understand their needs and what shortcomings or stand out features matter most to them. As long as there is a sound reason for a decision, go buy...

Where to begin...

First, someone should tell the guy from Sony who stated that phones will surpass the DSLR that the camera companies are not making many DSLR any more.

Next, you can only say...

The issue with this is that the iPad version is subscription only even if you already own Capture One. Since I can have Capture One activated on two computers (in some cases 3), why not just use a...

It kind of does that. If you take off just one shoulder strap and swing to around to your front side, there is a side access pocket you can open to pull our your camera.

Unfortunately, the ideal number of backpacks to own is umpteen +1. You need to buy another.

They supposedly have a lifetime warranty for defects: https://www.wandrd.com/pages/warranty

Did they tell you that your issue was wear and tear?
