Don't know about Panasonic, but Samsung certainly did

I stumbled over a documentary about Fuji and how they managed to do massive research in the chemical field, that proved useful in a...

You can actually create both realistic and unrealistic pictures with a single, let's say, 15mm FF lens.

It has much more to do with composition than with the lens itself... especially which kind...

Yeah, capital "F" multiplies by 2

No, just Uninformed Prejudice Day 😏

DVDs don't have the capacity, the bandwidth nor the reusability needed to function as practical backup media...

Try archiving a couple of TB of photos 4.7 GB at a time, and you'll...

I think you'd be surprised when realizing the number of "regular" people (enthusiasts) who do their third backup/different medium/offsite from the 3-2-1 rule with tape, buying an LTO-4 or -5 off...

@Thomas A Anderson
Exactly... a RAW histogram is in my personal top-5 wish list for my dream camera.
I even tried UniWB at a certain point, but then reverted to normal and just eyeballed it......

@Alastair I don't think the comparison with movies is fair, when internet media has literally made of click-baiting its bread and butter.

I at least partly sympathize with Lee Jay.

You expose as far to the right as possible, blowing freely all the highlights that you don't care about - and that are even supposed to be blown out, like specular highlights, light bulbs etc. -...

@Lars V
I could scan a white page at 5'000 MP.
Do I get that resolution? yes
Is there 5'000 MP worth of information? no, there's exactly 1 pixel worth of information (RGB 00, 00, 00) and...

Very sad to see a major player sell and perhaps downsize... it means less competition, less innovation, less choice, higher prices...

Smartphone-only doesn't cut it for me yet (and I suspect for...

It's not the same, it has to move exactly one pixel.
Otherwise you either need more than 4 shots or the result simply won't be as good.

@DarnGoodPhotos
The movement of the hand is not precisely a pixel, and the outcome is not as good as having full color information for each pixel - which you can achieve by moving the whole sensor...

There is quite a difference between what Pentax does it and what the rest of them do.

Pentax has been AFAIK the first to move the sensor in precise increments (not in the hand-held version of...

@MHshooter
Your hypothetical camera's IBIS has to be precise enough to move the sensor on the X and Y axis in 1-pixel (or, in this case, 0.5-pixel) increments, and has to be fast enough to do all...

@TheRealYeats
I tend to gather info from as many sources as possible, and am very wary of the "echo chamber" phenomenon.
This site here is - if anything - pro-everything-else, so pro-Pentax bias is...

This is the (rebranded) Tamron, right?
Any idea what's really different? WR, coatings..?

@MHshooter
That's the first time I hear of aperture control block failure on a K-01... AFAIK they don't have the same issue as the various K-30, K-50, K-S1 etc.

And that alone shouldn't "kill"...

It doesn't feel too bulky on a K-01, actually.
Anything smaller, I'd have trouble holding it firmly in my hands.

Would like to see a shootout, just for the heck of it, between the thinnest lenses available... Canon should also have one, IIRC...

I have the Pentax XS, which is ok as far as optical quality is...
