GAS is often the result of getting bored with shooting. In your case you have chosen to go in the opposite direction by scaling down interestingly enough. But you probably peaked with the ...

A long zoom like the 200-600 recommended here if you don't want a slap in the face.

If Sony wants to attract buyers for the A1 with its steep price tag, firmware updates should be included. I know professionals say it's the cost of doing business but the they need enthusiasts / ...

By the time A1 mk2 comes along there may be other must haves added to your list. But since the ARV adds a number of features, notably the long sought after focus bracketing, I expect Sony is in no ...

the A7c form factor is perfect for my wife. Besides having small hands, she prefers point and shooting so the match is perfect. I find the tilt screen of a7iii great for street photography. ...

It’s best to experiment with what works best for you. This camera is equipped with focus bracketing. Give it a go.

It really makes one appreciate National Geographic before digital photography became available. These days we tend to snap out a dozen pictures or more in hopes of a few keepers. Even a moderately ...

That's a good point. I should have factored that into my post. Actually, I may not have posted if I thought of that :-D

It's becoming more like the trunk than a branch. I understand smartphones can take decent pictures and always improving, but the aforementioned editing is making camera technology increasingly ...

More and more pictures are dominating images online that lean towards heavy handed editing. I wonder what planet I’m looking at sometimes. You know, green purple swirls that are supposed to be ...

Technology is making people intellectually lazy. The smartphone crowd don't want to have control over the camera, they want to point and shoot, then crank the sliders up in editing. And by editing ...

Smartphone advocates tout the ability of the phone to capture a very wide DOF. They consider things like eye detection a flaw that should be unnecessary. Similarly they consider dynamic range of ...

The lens does, I forget which one though.

It’s probably the mechanical shutter. Does it have a high shutter count?

Agreed, there’s lots of misinformation on the net, but it’s not healthy to rely on being instructed how to do everything. Evolution teaches us that we lose what we don’t use. Do you want to be ...

You may be able to add functionality to a phone. Much has been done already. But it's still a box and will be limited by design no matter what new tech pumped into it. The real problem with phones ...

Shock and awe :-O. I shot myself in the foot. Pic #6 doesn't belong. A blurry whatever it is should not occupy a third of the scene. The rest are well done, albeit showy more than artistic merit.

No, don't have a mac, but good to know as it expands options. Thanks.

I left behind the adapter for my charger on a trip (not the first time:-x). Is it possible to buy just the adapter? Or does anyone have the adapter for sale? I have the charger itself. Update: ...
