Great IBIS matters more than a lot of other specs if you are actually using your camera to take photos . Trouble is, comparing ratings seems to be difficult. That article is quite interesting, and...

Film vs. digital debate? Isn't it like a debate between vintage cars and modern ones? There are plenty of vintage sports cars that aren't anywhere as good as modern family cars on the paper. Does...

That always look ugly. Many mirrorless shake the sensor a bit everytime you turn them on, which does a pretty good job removing the dust. I never had any dust refusing to go after 2-3 turning on...

Just saw the movie and of course the Leica drowning scene was hard to miss. As far as the movie goes, pretty lengthy and unnecessary, but Sony is the first name you see on screen when the movie ...

" unreliable shutter"... like, firing all by itself? One of my TCs does that.One of these days I'll have to look into it.

You might want to try the TC and T4. Even if the electronic dies, they are still good :)

This will make die hard Rolleiflex fans cringe, but Seagull 4 are actually quite nice TLR, and can be had for a fraction of the price of a Rolleiflex... I have a Seagull 4A103 and a Mamiya C220....

I agree in most cases, but if that Hasselblad Sony debacle, or that Nikon Brick innovated in anything, it is the exploitation of human idiocy. The kind of things Pablo Escobar or Kadhafi would buy...

Didn't W. Eugene Smith quit his job because his emplyer kept insisting 24x36 wasn't large enough? :)

Probably a Nikon Coolpix 4300 I bought in 2004. It was on sales for over 400 Euros, a significant dent in my meager PhD scholarship. I had had a few single use cameras - the green ones from Fuji -...

this "project" is about playing around with the camera to see what it can do. I don't get why everyone seems to expect artistic value there.

But not 100%... Olympus cameras and raw concverter do a damn fine job with colors, and DxO's pseudo-Olympus profiles don't quite get it right. Now, if taht Olympus RAW converter would let me do all...

Damn, you've done it again... I went over and paid for the upgrade (I was running v2 until yesterday). The new color adjustment tool was my primary motivation, and it's pretty good for removing...

@ jorepuusa: ... but I guess at photography school you spent quite a lot of time learning to get the settings rights. Thing is, a lot of people out there did not study photography. For many...

Aren't they Phillips? ;)

Oh yes, please!

Frankly, no! A digital camera gives you the opportunity to check right away the effects of what you are doing, rather than having to wait for having the film developed. There are people out there...

Pocketable full frame anyone? Will be a while till we have a digital full frame camera the size of a Minox 35. Of course there is agood claim than a Sony Rx 100 or a Canon G9 / G7 are about the...

These are nice! Thanks for sharing :)
@turvyT: more charm... not so sure. I lived in Paris for a year in the mid eighties (I was around seven at the time), I vividly remember the stench, the smog,...

The voice-over is really cool. Makes the whole thing shine :)
