To each according to his/her needs. Holding it to shoot is only a small part of the matter. Carrying is more of the issue. I'd rather bring a long a DP2M than a DP2Q beside SDQ or on its own, even ...

I'm afraid not for its grossly un-ergonomical form factor. A DPQ in the form of DPM (but with some grip) would be another story.

Thank you very much, Jim. I like your version of rendering. And I learnt something.

from hiking in Huashan, near Xi'an, last week. "Cooked" to taste and rendered in black and white with inspiration from traditional Chinese painting. I don't know why, but black and white seems ...

Thank you, Vitée. I haven't posted much recently. But I still visit this place often.

You dipicted me very well. Advice accepted.

Like you, I found DNG files to have good latitude for adjustment and be tolerant to being pushed hard. That's why I'm thinking of dumping the ARW files once DNG files are developed out of them. ...

A few from my DP0Q, not the latest Quattro model but Quattro nonetheless. Heavily processed to my taste. Hangzhou, in Spring Hangzhou, in Spring Hiking in Gongga Mountains, West Sichuan Hiling in ...

Reason for me to use DNG is that it's ready for pp with PS and Adobe's DNG converter does a good job rendering RAW. Good point. Had not thought of that.

Thank you very much. now downloading CaptureOne for Sony. Would like to try it out against Adobe's DNG converter.

Thank you, Curlyone. No, I have not. Is it good? How/where can I get it?

Thank you, everyone, for sharing your experience, opinion and knowledge. I got more than what I had hoped for when I raised the question. Between Sony's own converter and Adobe DNG converter, I ...

After converting a RAW file to DNG, is there still any reason to keep the original RAW file? Thanks

I would like to report that your good advices here led me to buying a Contax Carl Zeiss 35-70mm in excellent condition. And it lives up to your commendation and its reputation. It's sharp wide ...

Between Merrill and Quattro, it's really not a matter of who's better. They are just different. Which one you prefer depends on the subject, on the story you want to tell with your picture, and on ...

Thank you, John. But somehow I'm unable to download it. Local connection problem.

Interesting experiment. Have you tried HDR using only a single shot? I did that often and found it often worked better than applying Fill Light in generous measures for situations such as this. Wou ...

I share most of what you said about Quattro. Only problem is that if you also want to bring along a couple of more DP Q to cover wider focal range, it becomes a headache. Not so with the DP Merrill's ...

My first post of image here, as I'm quite new to Sony mirror-less cameras. Bought an FE 16-35mm a few weeks ago, and went out next evening to try it out. I like this combo a lot. The Grand Theatre, ...

No. In Guangzhou, China. They also have a SD Q + 50-100mm/F1.8 for equivalent of US$1400.
