114 billion transistors!

Let that sink in a bit! The human brain has about 86 billion neurons. Not exact 1 to 1 translation but it's becoming mind boggling what you can buy for $4000 (keep the...

The tax on these is probably more money than most average photographers ever spend on a single lens

Eggplantt - after your post I vaguely recalled something and then had to look it up. Indeed they do. I actually wish DPreview would add these snippets of Information with these posts.

Yawwwn!
They could have made this lens a bit bigger 82mm front element and offered a 600mm/f8 or gone even with a bit larger opening and offered it at 800mm/f8. Now that would have been exciting.

@thoughts R Us - 100% Nikon basically covered 400/2.8 and 600/4 needs in their lineup. Though saying that, I wonder if it made more sense to have a 1.7x convertor instead. I'm sure they considered it.

Warning: to people with pacemakers from the strong magnetic field and to wives/husbands with faint of heart when they see the $14000 credit card bill.

Quiet honestly, if you look at real...

@JE River -
Thanks for your constructive comment.

BTW, I don't claim to be anything special. I'm another photographer who is lucky enough to visited few special places. All of us photographers...

@RED i -
I looked at your gallery and you have some amazing images and composition. Frankly you are far more qualified to write an article on composition.

I'm not quite sure about the comment...

@Erez - thank you for your reply. It's your most honest writing on DPreview. It really illustrates your conduct and your true character and personality.

Decent images, however, most of these compositions are not that good.

It's clear the author doesn't really understand composition himself and does not haver an in-depth knowledge.
The fact that...

Ha Ha Ha! That was fun. I'm sure everyone involved had a blast working on this project especially the ones with lines.

Just hoping everyone is watching it with holiday spirits, open mind and humor.

My Z5 is like a new generation of cameras. To think I bought it for $1000 it’s quiet an amazing value.
I think the Z5 is probably the best value for anyone looking into moving to FF cameras from...

$3000-$5000 price tag is insane. I owned the phantom 4 and still own the original mavic. Was waiting to upgrade to mavic 3, but not at this price.

It’s clear DJI is aiming for high margin...

Jeromy Young is no longer the CEO of Atomos. He was forced to stepped down under some secretive circumstances that for some reason the media is refusing to talk about.

That said, don't expect the...

@CanonKen - I guess I was confusing it with Senal

The new 100-400s is made in Japan.

Isn’t Saramanic just another B&H brand? Or am I confusing with another unit?
If it’s B&H, it’s priced so it’ll be heavily discounted making the buyers think they got a very good deal during the...

$5500!!! This camera is going to be sold out for the next 2 years.

I was expecting $6500 -$8000 range given the specs.

@StoneJack what mick232 said.
When your revenue is low your R&D percentage is going to be high. It's just math. Apple has insane amount of revenue so their R&D is probably higher than the total...
