guyfawkes: It's no doubt the wrong lens for the SL2, but I still expect better from Canon (who employ some of the best optical designers in the world, and who have proven their leadership in the...

That's due to other factors - for one thing, Olympus have been designing lenses with much higher design goals for a long time, and also pixel density has not increased as much in MFT sensors, and ...

Great post. I agree wholeheartedly - raw takes another layer of dedication. Of course, said dedication is spent in front of a computer, and a lot of people don't like those, so I can understand ...

I beg to differ. All four corners have considerable noise artifacts, and in the sky the curvature of the effect is obvious. The lens on the new RX100's does have substantial vignetting at most ...

Roger: YES! I'll look forward to your results, sounds like you'll have a heck of a time tearing it apart :D

I thought the size difference was quite modest, to be frank. I was very surprised to notice that there wasn't much to set them apart in that regard. Both demo units were fitted with 50mm f/2.8 ...

With the RX100M2 you can use the flash on the hot shoe in manual, TTL and stroboscopic modes. It can work as a master for other manual units, but not TTL (it can trigger things like older ...

This is what I mean. Above the regular strobe light for flash, it has three small LEDs. They're not super powerful, but they make for a fantastic lantern! Good for camping trips and spelunking :-D

The thing is that files have more pixels these days, and all those smaller pixels (for a given viewing size) allow for deeper corrections that look bad when seen at 100%, but disappear when ...

Ah, it figures. Did you use a circular polarizer? They are very clean, and don't look like surface photos.

Funny, I went to my local Sony Store today. I think the A9 is a move in the right direction, but the A99II still felt miles better in the hand, and curiously lighter, thanks to the fantastic grip. ...

Which is why I said that it'd be very difficult and expensive - not impossible. In any case, I was wrong - I looked the different configurations of the zoom up, and it only moves three out of four...

It could be done, but I don't think you're really dimensioning just how complex and expensive that kind of design would be.

It could be made, but not in the way you think. Changing either the lens' or the body's bayonet mount, plus custom firmware, could make it work. As you might guess, that's extremely difficult and ...

But Sony openly aknowledges that people adapt lenses to their mirrorless cameras, and have even used it as a selling point. So they're not opposed to third parties - at least not openly. And I can...

Was there an UW housing for the R1? It sounds like an awesome marine camera, except for the leisurely AF and lack of video :-D But your UW photos look great.

I second Dr Jon. These ones work great for me.

It's most likely a product of vignetting - the corners are much darker than the rest of the picture, and the camera tried to lift the exposure, resulting in visible noise. The only way to reliably ...

Ugh, that's painful, but congrats on your purchase!

Variable cams have ammeliorated this deficiency somewhat, but still can only move groups instead of individual elements (the designs would get horribly complex and expensive otherwise), and have...
