I went on a similar trip this April (Page - Zion - Bryce - Kodachrome Basin - GrandStaircase/Escalante - Goblins - Arches - Canyonlands - Monument Valley) and just looked at my keepers: ...

I know it's WAY over-photographed and thus became nothing but a cliché, but the Treasury at the entrance to the ancient city of Petra is still worth seeing.  Plus, being there early in the morning ...

Focusing speed is pretty good (on an R5).  Accuracy?  Example: Red-backed shrike :-)

Hi Ian, In the simplest of terms, dynamic range (DR) means the difference between the lowest amount of light the camera's sensor can still record "while reading more than nothing", and the ...

Errr, how much did you pay for your R5? ;-)

Thanks!

I think I figured it out myself:  it's a juvenile red-backed shrike, 'Neuntöter' in German.

Any idea what this is?  Shot taken in Southern Germany.  Thanks for your suggestions!

Forgetting/ignoring all those f/8 and f/11 fixed aperture mirror lenses that were popular as the "poor man's tele lenses", aren't we? Cheap lenses have always been slow.  It is only with the advent ...

A $1000 800mm lens strikes me as cheap. I am not going to buy it myself, as I have the RF 100-500 and am waiting for delivery of the RF 400mm f/2.8 which, together with TCs, gives me much better ...

What's your point here, @Freedolin? You said yourself "I didn't claim it to be a visible issue", since you obviously realize it's a non-issue at the apertures being discussed here. Your further ...

Cannot refute the DOF argument, though the difference between 6.3 and 5.6 is  miniscule. The ISO argument is a bit of an anachronism.  IQ at higher ISOs has made WAY more progress in recent years ...

And that is because ?

The Canon RF 100-400 is a $650 lens. You're lucky if you're going to get a quarter of a Nikon Z 100-400 for that kind of money. Canon's strategy includes releasing a slew of affordable lenses, ...

No, the R3 is A LOT more than the R6 . Comparing it with the R5, I see very little that would entice me, given that the R3 resolution is substantially lower. I realize the R3 will be attractive to ...

Unless you were unhappy with your D800, I'd be hard pressed to see why you would want to switch brands.  Nikon's Z5/Z6/Z7 receive lots of praise (DPR selected one of them as the 'best landscape ...

Yes it is, and I'm not saying it is irrelevant.  Yet, the overall differences are small enough to keep all three systems in the same ballpark, so your conclusion that Sony needs to take action ...

Seriously? About 280g, which is a mere 7.5 percent of the total weight, makes the biggest difference between these systems for you? I'd say there are LOTS of better aspects to compare than this one.

For what it's worth, I'm waiting for my RF 400 to get delivered.  That lens works very well with the 1.4x and 2x extenders (see this review ), which means the usable range reaches from 400 f/2.8 ...

Not sure I understand what you are asking.  Do you want everything to be in focus or achieve an artistic effect that allows some out-of0focus areas?  Do you want the shot "reasonably sharp" ...
