Damn! In the last couple of months I read several times about commenters who blew up other cameras with their Sony. As an owner of a Fuji and two Sony cameras I tended therefore to use the Fuji...

@FrithjofA - Just use your brains before calling other people nuts. A cloud service is not a hard drive. It‘s not just used for storage but to access your data from different devices and from...

@jadot I don't say Apple is good and Google is bad. I have just explained why I think Apple is more trustworthy than Google when it comes to personal data. Everyone can decide if he or she cares...

One could argue that people should be treated differently according to their "performance". I wouldn't agree with that but even then we have the problem that the whole system ist absolutely...

@jadot It's not about personalized advertising. It's about all people treated equal and without prejudices. Being part of the community is more and more bound to the net. "Social assessment...

@jadot Don't be naive. It's not about men in sunglasses. It's about identifying you whenever you are in the net, even if you think you are anonymous. Every company in the b2c business is interested...

@jadot - „Google, Amazon, apple, your bank, library, grocery store - just about anyone you have contact with, has got some sort of access (if they want it) to your lifestyle and routine.“
Yes, but...

What is wrong with iCloud costs? 2 TB for 10 Euros per month doesn‘t seem to be more expensive than other cloud services.
Apps that don‘t exist are always the best, and they are for free :-)

@MrBrightSide: "Now you bring the heartbreaking news that the era of breakthroughs is over"

I couldn't be farther away from stating this. I think there is no doubt that the speed at which...

Not bad! But I rather thought of marking objects which would begin to shake and you could select different types of rattling noises. Attention is everything.

I agree, but technology is moving faster and faster and it becomes more and more difficult to foresee the social consequences of those developments.

Maybe a function to mark any light sources in the image and they start to blink. You could also mark the sun and it constantly changes its color …

I remember Tony Northrup on Youtube gathered the noise data of all tested cameras and plotted it in a chart with equivalent ISO (a measure at DXO for the noise) over the year of publication of the...

Fascinating on one hand, a bit scary on the other hand, optimizing images by recovering the most likely original. Maybe one day my camera doesn't even need a sensor and a lens. It gets the most...

ah, thanks, and yes, I did. I am not a native speaker, you see. Should have looked it up in the dictionary :-)

I don‘t think so. With the small sensor you can expect results comparable to full frame at ISO x 31.8. Especially for birds you would need high shutter speeds. Even ISO 400 on full frame for...

@Karroly <<if we can call a pinhole a lens>> That‘s exactly the point. We can‘t. There is no diffraction of light in a hole and therefore no focal length and an infinite depth of field. I guess...

Great!

To be interesting for kids these days, it would have been made as a smartphone app. Even instant film would be to slow I think.

There is no diffraction of light in pinholes. Diffraction is due to the lower speed of light in glass, which a pinhole obviously doesn't have. Therefore pinholes do not have a fixed focal length...
