"It is not possible to update the firmware of products for which our support period has finished."
How long is the support period for Sigma lenses?

Nothing new was on the horizon for Fuji APS-C before the X-T3 was announced/leaked.

When you accuse a person of having done something they have explicitly said they didn't do, what else is this except accusing that person of lying? There are many synonyms and ways to paraphrase...

If DPreview hadn't forwarded the press release, you quite possibly wouldn't have heard about this product.

I think it is bad form to accuse others of lying with zero proof (DPreview staff...

It doesn't matter how good the lens is if (a) the sensor itself is adding enough noise and (b) if we are just encoding photon shot noise.

Sure, humans can 'perceive' IR and UV, via their skin (in heat perception and sunburn) but that has nothing to do a visual image is formed. It might inform how we emotionally perceive a visual...

The digital sampling in image sensors is in essence counting photo electrons (electrons generated by 'adsorption' of photons). We are not fully there yet in being able to count single photons, but...

You don't need more bit depth than you have dynamic range (at the pixel level), ok, probably one or two bits more adds something but beyond that you are just encoding noise. That's in regard to...

And I cannot think of any camera that needs 16 bit (ok, maybe the multishot Hasselblads).

Right, that's most likely what this refers to.

" the 5-way AF joystick to actually move points"
Did somebody bury the lead here? So far, except for Pentax, MF (D)SLR only came with a single AF point. Has Leica upgraded that to multiple points?

I recommend to first look into this potential issue before following Billiam's recommendation. If every time somebody said there might be an issue with a particular product, I would avoid that ...

The main 'problem' I see with computational photography I see is for my wallet. From upgrading phones (more) frequently, to getting better cameras in regard to image stabilisation or autofocus...

Is this Smart RAW format then something that for example Lightroom can understand?

Everyone that is complaining is complaining (if you know what I mean). But to conclude that everyone that bought an iPhone Xs (Max) is actually complaining is the usual misconception that...

From his or her impulse to lash out [at Apple] which led him or her to jump to a conclusion without properly reading the article.

Yeah, but these problems are not due to the sensor receiving less total light but either due to some small variation at the hardware level (for those rows having 'focus pixels') or the...

I see the same with no FW drive connected. But with one connected, I see a lot more.

That is jumping to conclusions. I've been running High Sierra for a while and all my FW devices (FW400 & FW800) work just fine. Directly connected or as a FW chain. Those techs were misinformed or ...

Sure, increase the number of masked pixels from 1% to 2% and you capture about 1.01% less light, a completely undetectable difference.
