I would agree that looking at the test scenes, and from user comments, sensor tech is very close for real world use. When looking at objective test numbers, Sony usually has an advantage. I made ...

I can sort of help. I made a bit of an assumption the Gavin was using his Batis because the results were so damn good, but equally, I was trying to use this as an example of the benefit of the ...

No, I would not choose Canon. [Important to note that I do not require the types of lenses that otherwise give Canon a healthy advantage. Eg T/S, super tele, super fast etc]. As a general example, ...

Firstly, thanks for your considered posts which are fair and reasonable with a lot of useful info. A large part of our decision(s) depends on what we shoot, but I think it it is fair to say that ...

Thank you for the reply. I'll look into 'digital press', if only to familiarize myself with the technology. I'll refine my question somewhat (the Blurb example was misleading, sorry). I find inkjet ...

I am fairly familiar with inkjet printing on coated papers and sell some of my A3+ prints from my Epson SC-P600. What I would like to know is, what is the process for printing lower quality but ...

FWIW, CMOS refers to the silicon transistor layer, not the the photosite layer as I have sometimes seen it described. The structure of CMOS is different but is based on 'common' field effect ...

Well, I'm an adventurer / explorer first, and photographer second. That is to say, if it wasn't for the 'landscape' I wouldn't be interested in taking photos. I don't usually challenge myself to...

Be interesting to get to the bottom of this. Sensors work by light (photons) creating a 'charge' in the silicon layers, the photons knock electrons into the substrate to get a potential difference ...

Well, I'm leaning towards an R purchase too, but then I am a long time Canon user and it makes sense to me for a number of reasons. But what if we had no Canon gear or experience? Would you still ...

Personally I think it is a very good idea, because I detest sensor spots, and I'm careful with my gear so an 'exposed' shutter shouldn't be a problem. However, my understanding is that sensors are ...

As others have indicated it is too early to really judge and I certainly wouldn't trust the DPR numbers, they have proven to be unreliable when people indicate they own a camera before it is released.

I have grown to like Adobe Bridge. There is review mode which is pretty good, but I rank all my images with stars (1-5); Duds - 1-2 stars, possibles 3 stars. I then just use the filter function to ...

I agree with this. I have an EF-S 10-18 that produces very soft edges and corners (It seems to suffer from excessive filed curvature). When doing tests to isolate the problem I noticed some results ...

I think it depends on what you are used to. I do quite a lot of PP including targeted adjustments in the raw converter, and then into PS. I recently tried using DPP for a new Canon camera but found ...

I don't know if this is any use to you, but a guy (Camera Rubbing) who seems to really know his video stuff indicated that you can get very good 1080 from crop mode on the R, albeit with rolling ...

It has been suggested that Canon's problem with a high end body is processing capability (which they have alluded to themselves with the 4K crop etc.) Dual Pixel adds something like twice the ...

That would make more sense to me where the shallow DOF and more portrait friendly FL would start to be useful. Other than astro (where I think a prime would be better) a fast ultra-wide zoom would ...

I'm not against using the adapter per-se, but I do a lot of hiking and being able to have a very nicely sized body like the EOS R, but then having bolt on an adapter and my (probably) larger EF ...

I agree with all that, and I expect the new 15-35/2,8 to possibly be the best wide angle zoom available. But, there is the issue of cost. If it is about $2000 as I would expect, then that plus an ...
