" bluray is not "expensive tech""

Even in 2006 DVD players were less than that. And upscaling is trivial.

I should, at this point, be able to buy a usable external USB bluray drive for my laptop...

Sony has cared enough about competition in the past that it spent an inordinate amount of money crushing HDDVD. Had they not subsidised bluray, HDDVD would have arguably won repeating the Betamax...

Noise at high ISO looks like APS-C (Fuji XT2). Nikon d610 looks as good as the Sony.

Sure, but 35mm at f1.8 still has plenty.

People get fussy at $500.

Not a problem for everyone, of course.

Perhaps you're one of those cigar chompers, with a Bugati for your daily driver, who doesn't bother looking at the price of things.

All the photos with bad bokeh.

The close-up-subject bokeh looked marvellous, then I saw the medium distance bokeh.

Disaster. What is this, the 80s?

There is no excuse in this day and age. The trade-off of sharpness vs bokeh...

(Specifically looking for advice from people with current phase AF Fuji and Nikon DSLR experience.) My sister in law is a pet and children portrait painter. But she also wants to go off and ...

positive discrimination is not the same as equal opportunity. We can all agree on the latter, but the former is self-defeating, undermining people's respect for those who are favoured.

Everything is relative. It's not good compared to Sony FF.

What's newsworthy, I think, is the retrograde step. Usually these things improve.

And it could be pertinent to a low-lighter. when I...

The DOF trick is pretty significant, though. I would prefer that than better IQ.

Rather it puts makeup on you. And no option to switch it off.

Your wife will leave you.

Pay attention, Daft Punk.

Lol, you are a strange one. Someone posts a related comment and you dig deep in to their record.

Weird.

I'm a fuji user, actually very positive about fujis to contradict you, who doesn't like...

Most men don't want to look like they have makeup on. Doh!

Fuji 2nd gen technology. But fuji was a lot worse and yet they denied everything proving they are liars.

At 24MP plus, I reckon a 35mm and then cropping serves the purpose better that the 'flexibility' of the 50mm angle of view used to. Still, if you're a bokeh nut, like myself, then 35mm even at...

I think they are in the process of emptying his bank account and ruining his marriage.

lol! Or nasty enough.

Maybe the joke wasn't obvious enough.

Useless. It can't livestream a hyper-lapse.

I can get a cheap one on ebay from china that can do that.
