The Canon G9X has a 1" sensor, and is smaller than the RX100 series, and shoots raw. I have a G9X and I love it.  I always shoot raw.  Terrific detail and surprisingly deep DR.  It's really small, ...

Terrific shot!  Makes me want to go there. It looks like a calm, peaceful evening in a beautiful place.  Ahhh.  Nice work. And yes, the G9X did a terrific job.  I love mine.  Beforehand, I loved my ...

Different, but similar, is the new Radial filter in camera Raw/Lightroom.  I use it all the time.  It's wonderful! You open the filter, and get to set a point, just like in U-point.  Then, you ...

I also love the 28-300!  No lens is perfect, but this one delivers the clarity, range and sharpness in all the areas I care about, to give me images with impact. Your wine glass is terrific!   Just ...

I have a similar experience.  In the studio, I'll use the D800E with speedlights or strobes, good ambient lighting, and no problems. But for darker images the D750 focuses better, gets more detail ...

Exactly.  That's what to do.  Another vote for that clear path of action. --------------- Tom B

Ditto.  Center point and back button. Precise, quick, easy, and reliable. --------------- Tom B

Right. These are more to show the abilities of the camera in difficult and extreme lighting conditions. There are useful pairings of ooc jpegs coupled with files edited to taste in camera raw,...

As an enthusiast, I have different priorities than those needing to satisfy a client.  I'm free to indulge my worst discipline and just keep snapping away.  Which I do. No, I never run out of ...

LOL! --------------- Tom B

That's certainly true. Most people are moved by the content, not the IQ, of the picture. But I think a few folks here have gone to extremes with their analogies. No, you don't serve burnt food. Of ...

Don't know what you mean by sorting on the "date in the Excel folder."  Isn't that the date of the photo?  The date in the exif?  Or is it artificially applied somehow in Excel? Faststone will sort ...

Really cute shot!  Glad to hear your camera's working well. I love my D750, too!  A great camera! Just curious:  Did you spray & pray on continuous for that picture, or did you just get lucky with ...

Right. That's the correct answer. Those black areas are often called "halos," and the best solution is to reduce the tonal compression in Photomatix or whatever HDR software you use. The effect ...

Oh so true. Very very true. Like all of us, I've got photo gear that's frankly amazing, beyond the imagination of Weston's time, and yet...his pictures are better than mine! OK, I admit it. But I'm ...

Yes, more and more I'm thinking that a camera phone would be a great primary camera. Like you, I don't post much to social media, hardly at all. It's the size and convenience of a cell phone ...

Speaking of Tenerife, did you come across this? A cable car to the mountain got stuck, and people had to be dropped through its floor: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4318608/Seventy-touris ...

Another vote for FastStone.  I've been using this free program since I first got started with digital, and it's still my favorite image browser. It's fast, it displays your shots as thumbnails, or ...

Yes, I agree. I love my 16-35!  I was just processing a bunch of shots from Redwood Creek Beach, and I had to pause, repeatedly, and just take a deep breath, in appreciation of how sharp and ...

Another vote for the Nikon DC lenses.  They're a bit fussy to use, but can give a unique and distinctive look.  They're among my favorite lenses. --------------- Tom B
