Look at any current top end smartphones and they are all trying to erode the difference between the phone sensor and larger camera sensors. This is what they are doing: (1) Increasing dynamic range and ...

Do you have problems with distant focus using other lenses? If not, it is unlikely to be the EM1 that is at fault. I have found the autofocus on the EM1 series to be a bit less precise at distance ...

…. I just don't think it is for you. Unless the lens is really out of spec then poor focus at long distances (when focus at close distances is fine) is usually the photographer missing focus ...

Probably trying to put it on the wrong way round. This photography business needs a bit of skill and knowledge :-)

Sorry. Just trying to keep it in the spirit of your own post.

Great! 6 feet goes a long way on an iphone!

Glad we agree, but just to keep things balanced I’ve included quotes in this one. ;-)

I disagree with your first paragraph as you don’t know if the post is quoting everything or not. I disagree with your last paragraph as it still takes time to browse a long post no matter what ...

Poor design is often the reason for what appears to be poor quality control. Design a lens which has too much scope for misalignment on assembly and it is extremely impractical to adequately ...

Oh yes! Let’s get the histogram and blinkies to work properly at ISO Low. They are pretty useless as they are... use them and you are still effectively shooting at ISO 200. Oh definitely yes!

Equivalent images are those in which the image qualities are directly comparable. Angle of view, amount of motion blur, depth of field and resolution. m43 is perfectly equivalent to FF or any other ...

Tom I convinced myself a long time ago that cheaper clubs and lack of talent are by far the better option. During each round I play I see and appreciate a far more varied range of flora and fauna ...

1- c-af + tracking is still nowhere near the quality that a dual processor camera with access to a liveview image should be able to achieve. A smartphone manufacturer with real AI ability would be ...

Not me who missed the point!

I thought Kim was a dictator not a wanna be?

Thank goodness for that.

You wouldn’t be comparing images with the same framing. If you change lens to keep the framing the same but don’t change the aperture you wouldn’t be comparing images with the same depth of field. ...

Spot on. Shooting iso 64 with -1/3 stop compensation makes use of the exposure headroom that Olympus have chosen to leave, just as shooting 200 iso and overexposing by 1 1/3 stops. Shooting at ISO ...

The wider problem with the comparison tests is that we aren’t comparing like for like images. Surely we should be comparing images which under the same lighting conditions would give the same ...

So is a Fresnel zoom. I'd settle for a 400mm f4 Fresnel lens though. Nikon make a 300mm version which makes the excuse of m43 being smaller because of its lenses look a bit stupid. If Panasonic and ...
