When your cameras have good IBIS, it largely obviates the need for ultra strict technique prescriptions.

Eh, it seems to me like the D610's sensor is literally the only thing that doesn't need upgrading.

The AF system, the build quality, the LCD monitor (tilty? flippy? touchscreen?), the video...

Yeah, it's an interesting phrasing. Especially for slide film, which is a lot less forgiving in use, but people often put up with for the high (by film standards) resolution.

I'll stick to my...

But Canon is releasing a 6D II. Wouldn't a D760 line up much more closely with the 5D IV, while the D8xx line competes with the 5DS line? It seems like there is still plenty of room for a...

Just about any vintage 50mm/f1.4 works well, and can be had for $100 or less. My Super Takumar is nice, and I've heard very good things about the Canon FD 50/1.4 in particular.

Which is why I wish there was a single smartphone out there that maybe considered the possibility of confidently using it one-handed to take pictures.

Perhaps the obsession with ultra-thin...

More cumbersome to put in a pocket, but much less cumbersome to use. Smartphone ergonomics suck for taking photos.

Huh? Some of the bodies on the market with the best weather sealing are mirrorless. Pentax is the only DSLR-maker that really emphasizes it, whereas the Canon 6D and D610 can't really compare to...

Perhaps useful to mention in the conclusion is that the K-1 is extremely robust and weather-sealed, as a differentiator from all the other cameras in this category, which are distinctly not. I know...

In practical terms, it means there is no real advantage to the A7 or A7 II sensor compared to a state of the art APS-C sensor like the Nikon D7200 or Sony A6500. The D610 or Pentax K1 will give...

Bill, as interesting as that reply is, it doesn't seem terribly relevant to the OP's comment that Sony do in fact make those high end lenses - 300/f2.8 and 500/f4 - and they may well function in a...

Oh, yeah, there's nothing that sounds more lensy than Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens 4411B002. Nothing product-code like about that at all.

And don't get me started on Nikon AF-S NIKKOR...

Since Sony has very high end 300mm/2.8 and 500mm/f4 lenses available for A-mount, it seems like those would be very valuable to test with the proper adapter. Presumably it would perform...

I've spent a while thinking about this process, and the trouble is that none of the cheap vintage ultrawides end up being very wide, let alone any good optically, on an M4/3 camera. My solution was ...

@ManfredGrebler - maybe only astrophotography, but astrophotography is awesome. So...

Literally last night I mounted a 24x36" print of a photo I took with a 14-140mm superzoom, in Bryce Canyon the day after a snowstorm...

The amount of disdain in this thread for anyone unwilling to carry around multiple lenses and bodies for casual photowalks or travel...

No wonder the dedicated camera market is dying, quietly...

I'm confused, do you mean the Samyang 14mm/2.8, which is only $300, or the Irix, which is a 15mm f2.4 lens that costs $400?

Either one is good, and indeed a bargain, but especially when it comes...

Though Sigma themselves makes the MC-11 adapter that allows full-functionality with the ART lenses on PDAF-enabled Sony E-Mount cameras, so it's not that big of an advantage...

@james kennedy - that's why I said "essentially" any film camera. Gives me an out. ;)

But really, by essentially any film camera, I mean anything that could be operated (metered, composed, and...
