adjp: Any reference for that? its seem seems to fly in the face of most common knowledge about sensor size/digital photo quality, I'd be curious to know where you got that from.

If the results from a full-frame camera and an AI computed smartphone image are indistinguishable to you, you probably never needed that full-frame camera to begin with.

I’ve bene doing this stuff professionally for a while now and the only method I use it Smart Sharpen in Ps and the built in Lightroom sharpening.

In Photoshop: Duplicate your layer, smart sharpen...

He won the competition and it took five experts to conduct a thorough investigation to prove that he used a stuffed animal? The guy must deserve some kind of medal for that…

The race to mediocrity marches on.

I like the compact camera concept of loudly printing the notable specs on the body. I’m surprised Sony doesn’t do that with the A7 series…

T3:

You still havent provided an example.

Of course we focus on the problems, they’re what impedes us from making images.

When I switched from SLRs to Sony mirrorless I spent more time waiting...

T3

Yes, you provided a lot links. But have you provided any example of what this new tech gets us that was previously impossible or difficult, enough that we should deal with the myriad of issues...

"The autofocus hit-rate from the soccer match was nearly perfect"

Impossible. Not enough AF points, FPS too low for action, mirror blackout hides subject all the time. Should've used an A9.

@T3

Specs, specs, specs. I’m talking about photography here. More X does not equal better images. Show me one example of a shot that Sony’s 693 AF points saved where Nikon’s AF would have failed....

I’ve owned Sony full frame before, and I don’t doubt that are pushing technology forward. But the actual photographic rewards seem a bit dubious to me. Any you give me an example of a shot taken...

To what end?

The D5s and 1Ds of the world, are known as the best AF cameras onto market with or without the gazillion point AF system. The D750 and 5Ds are probably not far behind.

Whats the...

selrezi:

Exactly my point.

In what way? I'm aware of the spec sheet but in what way does this help to produce better images? When there are so many camera that are supposedly lower specced, but...

Again, issues, fixes, workarounds, and for what? Some of the best performing AF cameras on the market don’t have the on-sensor PDAF and they perform wonderfully.

Why deal with the myriad of Sony...

It was only a matter of time. And given that you can spend $40K on a cropped medium format sensor the price is, relatively speaking, not so bad. It seems like the sensor has about 1/4 the features...

Its interesting to see the tastes of those who cameras as, know, photographic tools rather than gadgety techno-toys to debate on forums.

Impossible! Nikon? Those cameras are unusable.

The aging and inaccurate OVF? The lack of on-sensor Phase Detection? That thunderously loud and unreliable Mirror mechanism? The lack of 4K? How...

The A7III is the successor of the D700 by spec only. The D700 was a joy to use: physical buttons galore, everything in the right place, as responsive and intuitive as they come. The A7s can...

Weak execution of a mildly interesting concept. Looks like the stuff I saw in my old Intro to After Effects classes. Needs a bit of color correction and something to make it look like more than...

Because thoughtful subject/background choice, lightning, and composition take a bit of brainpower and skill, many modern photographers are aversed to this. Plus, fast lenses are expensive,...
