I feel like the users of this site deserve some transparency, no? That's fair, right?

If you do not shoot professionally, I'd recommend a supplemental articles policy through your home owners insurance (or renters ins.). I covered around $17,000 worth of gear for around $250 per...

@sirhawkeye64 - Canon lens warranty is 1 year.

Soooo.... what was it?

Those who prefer Sony ergonomics would be a huge number of satisfied Sony users. I thought I liked Canon ergonomics best until I tried a Sony camera. Granted, some Sony users still prefer the...

@Yake - Saying "let's not even get into..." and then mentioning it, IS in fact, getting into it. Since you got into it, I'll just say that those factors are subjective. NUMEROUS people prefer the...

@Samuel C - you clearly have a distaste for Sony. What was your long-term user experience with their products that turned you off? You're harping on the ergonomics most recently. Tell me about your...

I was curious to know if anyone can explain what algorithm is used to determine which comments are most popular in response to the articles written by DPR. My initial conclusion is that it would ...

So, was that your situation? You were using the same lens on a larger sensor camera and framing your subjects the same? If so, it's definitely more demanding on the AF system -meaning, variances in ...

Av is aperture value Tv is time value (shutter speed)

If you're using the same 50mm f/1.8 on the 6D Mark II, you will have to be quite a bit closer to frame your subject exactly the same. The biggest effect on depth of field is distance to the subject. ...

Perhaps the format of my post annoyed you SO MUCH that you managed to block out the very specific examples I gave. I never, at any point, said that all of Canon's products fall into that category....

And, yes, I do have an interest in tech. Perhaps you and everyone you know are only capable of having one interest in their life and so I may seem like an anomaly but others of us are capable of...

Samuel C - you win the award for the most incorrect/misapplied assumptions in one post. Congrats.
And if the format of my post was annoying, then my objective was achieved. The format of the post...

So you think the 6D Mark II, 50 STM, 70-200 f/2.8 v3, and 18 megapixel APSC sensor are all drastic upgrades from their predecessors? 🤣

My needs and skills have changed as have the system options, so yeah, it's not outlandish to think the system that's best for me is different.
And I gave very specific examples in my OP. It was...

Your interpretation of what I'm saying isn't what I intended. I don't believe any of the brands are inferior to another. I do believe, however, that a particular brand may be a superior choice for...

I never wanted to leave Canon but my tech-interest kept my eye on ALL manufacturers.
I criticized the usability of Sony's system for the average photographer for years, deriding them for...

@Kandid - what's irrelevant (or "thin") to some is incredibly important to others. Hence my point about film and manual focus shooters possibly thinking that your 7D2 is overkill and a completely...
