quiquae

The Startac will no longer work if your telco is AT&T or other operators that have already stopped their 2G networks. And even at carriers where it still works, 2G is likely to be gone within a few...

@steelhead3
"made," not "makes." QX1 is listed as discontinued on Sony's web site. It's one of those ideas that sounded better than it actually turned out to be.

@Shadowfox3141 Yeah, I’m not trying to say this is a bad lens or a bad deal—in fact, I’m pretty impressed by the samples (other than the vignetting, anyway). I’m just contesting the original...

Yes, they all vignette, but not this badly (4EV according to OpticalLimits). Nikon 14-24F2.8 only has 1.6EV of vignetting wide open, Canon 14F2.8 does 2.4EV, and Samyang 14F2.8 3.3EV. The only one...

You mean, like “Oooh, look at that vignetting!” ?

If you aren't greedy with sensor size, long pocket travel zooms like Sony HX90V, Canon SX730HS, Panasonic TZ90 still exist AFAIK.

Several years ago, Panasonic tried to sell a 1" fix lens camera phone that was by all accounts excellent as far as IQ went. Go ask on the Panny forum how well that adventure went. I see no reason...

Even Canon's G3 X, which is much smaller than the gigantic RX10 (though still far larger than this one) looks noticeably better while having a larger range. I can't believe I just complimented the...

I sold the M2 in favor of the M5 because I missed the viewfinder too much, but I would still rather use it over its moral successors M3, M10 or M100. Much better build, more compact, AF is at a ...

It does not seem to be about the write speed. A clear evidence is this sentence from that article: The more likely culprit is that the battery outputs lower voltage at lower states of charge, ...

I think most people say that DxO’s individual benchmarks tend to be accurate. Their compound scores, not so much. I use DxO’s site to check specific measurements, like this T-stop figure, and only ...

I’ve seen the flare issue(*1), but I’m curious to know what you mean by poor light transmission. DxOMark rates it at T1.9 wide open, which actually makes it one of the more transmissive 50mm F1.8 ...

That reminds me of the joke about fishermen having it easy because they catch fish for free and then sell it. Or, in the context of this forum, photographers having it easy because they shoot...

>why do developers keep bring out apple only apps?

Because of this.

“Google Play generated $3.3 billion in revenue in Q4 2016 while the App Store managed to generate $5.4...

Can you point to a specific example? I compared the sample comparison in this review at ISO 6400 and 12800 RAW to Canon and Nikon bodies, and A7III doesn’t look that different from the competitors....

@mais51 Well, if someone gives me an ancient Olympus compact camera with no card inside, I’d probably buy an used xD card because new cards command such a ridiculous premium...;-)

Other than that,...

If the brand name bothers you so much, you should thank your lucky stars that you don’t live in Japan—here we get to carry around an “EOS Kiss”. :-| I do have to say, though, if you’re worried ...

There is a fairly large part of the population for which every extra dial would halve the sale (figuratively speaking). Canon knows what they want far better than you or I do: they literally own ...

DOF concern, maybe?

Um, so each piece of glass is molded by hand? In this day and age??

Please tell me this is for high-end lenses only. I can’t imagine Nikon making money doing this for something like the 18-55mm VR...
