Based on your photos, I'd suggest that something like the Tamron 15-30 f/2.8 VC would be just about perfect, although it's neither a low cost or low weight lens. Sigma is soon to release a 12-24 ...

DPP applies noise reduction at a basic level, along with purple fringing reduction. That's what it's doing while you wait for it to create the final preview before you get to work. One of the ...

The simple fact is that the goal of Canon's software developers seems to have been to make raws looks like OOC JPEGs via DPP. While some might think it's great that the choice of raw/JPEG makes ...

Consider the Sigma 120-300 Sport. It's got very good stabilisation, it's an f/2.8 lens, it takes teleconverters well (the newer Sigma ones at least), can be focus calibrated via Sigma's dock, and ...

Exactly right. LR was created because digital photography took off so quickly, and to such an extent, that the way to reach the masses was to have them just pay $100 for the photo development ...

"Accurate" would be closely matching the real world. Therefore, if you create a custom profile with a colour checker and it provides different colours than DPP did, then DPP is less accurate. And ...

I can't speak for Rick, but personally I almost always use layers to blend different raw exposures, or to lightly blend in some HDR elements (if required), or to adjust colour without adjusting ...

It's a double edged sword. Yes, the video quality is very good. But it depends on how any given person is going to judge the compromises that Canon have made. Some might say that the video quality ...

Some of the issues are... 1. He didn't read about the video specs before buying the camera. 2. He feels cheated by Grandpa Canon because of the above. 3. He thinks he needs something like a 5D IV ...

While I wouldn't argue that it's easy to get the results you want to get, isn't the white balance issue just a matter of knowing what white balance works for a given lighting situation? What I ...

What's so bad about saying the D500 noise performance is as good as a full frame camera? It sorta depends on which full frame camera you choose for the comparison, and also at what ISO you test ...

There's not really much point in testing for this stuff, if all you're going to say about the result is "it doesn't matter". I'm not sure there's much to be learned from such a video.

Did you all NOT READ THE ORIGINAL POST? WAKE THE **** UP!

Mainly because the out of focus areas don't look very natural. They're somehow slightly noisy. Also the selective focus appears to be blurred in only one direction. Look at the horizontal line of ...

That's horrible! O.k, it might be useful for rescuing a shot if you only managed to get one, misfocused shot to play with. But really, nailing focus is a much, much better option.

That seems like a very arbitrary decision on Canon's part. Makes no sense. Yes, that's what I figured. I always figure that scaling in post is better than doing it on the sensor, because at least ...

Ugh! I hadn't realised that it didn't do clean HDMI out. That's a bummer. That's just stupid. I don't really shoot with any of them, but I do match move and composite CGI over BM, Arri, and Red raw ...

I understand all that, but the 5D IV is predominantly a stills camera. You're right, time is money for a professional, but why wouldn't a professional have a professional video camera? Right. And ...

I don't understand why people keep complaining about Canon's 4K DSLR files. Do they actually WANT lower quality? If so, then that's rather weird given the cost of cameras like the 5D IV and 1Dx ...

I won't argue that recent Canon's have nice colour and tonality, but really, that's just down to the profile. You can profile any camera, and the more latitude you have with DR and noise, the...
