The Zenit Photosniper This was simply the best thing I'd ever seen when I was in my early teens!

We could always speculate on when the next rumour to speculate on will be leaked. I've heard a rumour that the next rumour will start within weeks (FT4).

gazing into my crystal ball I can definitively say no... or maybe yes... damn that crystal ball... the chromatic abberations are so strong it just reduces the clarity of everything it shows me. Doe ...

Isn't it time they test the image quality of smartphone cameras with the same criteria as they test the image quality of dedicated cameras so the two can be compared?

Wasn't a bad idea at all.

As a loyal Nikon dSLR user at the time (D800, D3 and D4) I wanted a smaller camera as a backup and chose Nikon 1. Once I'd seen the advantage of mirrorless I soon sold...

...the bird would definitely be too small in the frame at that distance :-)

Just remember that getting the right focal length is as important as getting a wide aperture. For football you will very often end up cropping the 75 or 35-100 shots whereas something like the ...

Another huge phone that feels like a tablet?

I don't have any grudge against people who want to carry a small TV screen around with them all day, but I sure wish the manufacturers would also offer...

Have to agree with the other responses. Unless you are shooting something like cricket, where you are a constant distance from the main action at the crease, a prime is pretty much a nightmare for ...

Nice move to ask for the ruling to be reinstated for animals to own copyright. That would effectively stop public ownership of the photo and stop Wikimedia from using it... which would at least...

Have you got s-af + m selected and are inadvertantly nudging the focus ring whilst you shoot?

If you rely on the camera metered exposure then using extended ISO ranges fundamentally change RAW files as you are changing the exposure.

Low ISO settings (below base ISO) have the same dynamic range as base ISO. Because you are giving the sensor more exposure the highlights will clip sooner, but you are maintaining the dynamic ...

Thankyou for brightening up my evening Trevor. It's not just the fact that he refuses to consider lighter equipment as an option but that he's too self centred to consider the solution might be for ...

Menu C2 - Image Stabilisation: Set this to IS Priority leaving this set to FPS Priority will increase the chance of the sensor movement hitting its limits during bursts of shots and creating an out ...

I never inderstood the concept of an armchair critic. Why would someone feel the need to criticise armchairs?

I think in the short term we'll continue to see complex and large lenses. High optical quality is one of the few ways dedicated cameras currently have to keep ahead of the smartphones. Longer term ...

I think you forgot to add the smileys at the end of this. Or at least I hope you did.

It is a truly stunning lens. The only zoom lens I have ever owned where I genuinely don't have to think about stopping down to achieve truly sharp images into the corners at any focal length (and ...

Hopefully you will cover field curvature under your 'corner sharpness' heading? For example, with the Olympus 7-14 it is possible to have excellent corner sharpness and excellent centre sharpness ...
