Lightroom is very slow. It's more convenient to use it for editing and converting, then I discard the RAWs and go to a smaller faster software. wow - that's quite a project. I used to be a ...

of course I'm aware there is no picasa clone just waiting for me, and some programs might be much better, but I'm just so used to it :-) N.

I couldn't agree more. I love Picasa, I've been using it for years and I still do. Over time I gradually transitioned from taking photos in jpeg format and doing edits only in Picasa, to taking ...

This is the first reasonable comment I've seen in ages :-). People are so crazed about the miniscule aspects of the spec sheets that they lose the big picture: development is going along at a crazy...

Taken with my XE2s. N.

I needed that focal length too, for my 6D. got the 80-200/f2.8 instead, also known as "the magic drainpipe". Optical quality is excellent, you can find them second hand for around 500$. N.

Canon won't sell you the 5DIV unless you commit to using only Mark II and above L lenses. If the body detects anything else it will squirt water out of the lens and then go up in a puff of smoke. ...

it's a great camera, especially for low light. the center point can focus with very very little light. the drawbacks have been hashed over in the forum a lot, but there's nothing major that's wrong ...

Hi, great post. Very informative and useful, and makes me wonder if it's worthwhile finally replacing my trusty old 6D... I also do a lot of concert photography, and while I've worked out my own ...

I love it when new lenses drive down the price of older ones :-). Too bad I'm so happy with my "magic drainpipe" 80-200, so this time I won't even buy the 70-200 mark I... yet. N.

Outstanding!

A seriously unusual location :-)

Thanks for the info. I don't really pay the bills with photography, and I don't feel like shelling out these enormous sums for lenses. I photograph concerts, where I'm in a big rush all the time, ...

actually i clicked on the link and video opened up directly on top of the browser window, quite painless. aside from that - i don't know what the fuss is about. it's a public forum, OP wanted to ...

Hi Ken, actually, low light behavior seems to be one of the things that keep improving with successive models, as well as sensor size. So a really cheap option might not get you very far. I would ...

I dunno... my degree is in "computer engineering", kinda both software and hardware. But for these forums it's more important to have a degree in standup-engineering. I've enrolled.

Thanks very much for sharing this! I enjoyed it very much. Kudos for the humility, the world could use a bit more of that :-) N.

There's very good standup material down there, someone should make use of it. And all that over a post about a job opening... anyway, DPR guys, if you ever consider paying people to read the forums...

you're right about the lack of service, but at these prices it's hard to resist. if something happens to it.... i can just buy another. the modern lenses are so horrendously expensive that even if ...
