Totally agree with this Lance. The D810 is already a good all-rounder, including action and wildlife. Give it a couple more FPS and the D500 AF and wow. But I don't think the 36 mp sensor has high ...

Apple make good phones, as do many others. But there is something about the Apple brand that triggers childish consumerism in gullible people.

Depends a bit on conditions. I tend to use focus priority but in some conditions the background grabs focus anyways so it kind of defeats the purpose!

Hi again, I am not familiar with the Sigma lens but I understand that a "dock" is available for these that fine tune the AF to a particular body. Might be worth a look. Is your current 85mm the one ...

Congratulations on solving the issue! A couple of further thoughts for what they are worth at this late stage;! I had a quick read of your original post and you mention that you have focus tracking ...

Highly engaging set!!! Can you tell us more?? Where is this and what is the story??

You are very welcome. Do you render 1:1 as well as smart previews? Smart previews are very different to 1:1 previews. Smart previews are not used in the Library module. So it will be very slow ...

I think it might be Barney.

A few thoughts; Your computer is not slow. It is a great setup. The issue is with how you have configured and use Lightroom and also your expectations. In Lightroom,  when you look at an image on ...

Wow, a mirrorless camera with a fast intuitive UI, a lens option for any application, great AF and no frippery. Who the heck is going to buy that?

Yes, personally I feel this is important. I like to try to fill the frame and try to achieve a pre-visualised composition. Of course it is not always possible but that is what I try to do. For ...

Good question. The objective is to combine a high and medium/low resolution camera in one body to avoid splitting the line. A 50+mp body would be great for many applications but not all. A lower ...

Well, hope tends to be the last thing we do abandon. Conversely, are you adamant that good implementation is an impossibility, regardless of desirability?

That is fine to disagree. But just because it is of no benefit to you, you cannot extrapolate that to mean it is of no benefit to anybody. As I stated above, the benefit is a smaller file format ...

Here is a tale that is not strictly speaking gear related, but kindly indulge me nonetheless; It is the beginning of Spring here in New Zealand. For some years I have been wanting to photograph the ...

Well, I am not convinced it is a poor idea at all Bob. Canon and Nikon don't seem to either. Nor do many users who would like the option to shoot a smaller file format which, unlike JPEG, retains ...

Good list. I like the idea of fixing sRaw so we can have a 50mp sensor that shoots 36mp, 24mp and 16mp options!!

It is very clearly motion blur Bob. You can see the direction of the movement in the lines made by a few specular highlights. The only hairs that seem sharp are those parts of hairs that run ...

Excellent, no lens OR light sensor. A bat camera maybe. Can't wait.

6 to 8 mp for a large wall print!!!!! Good enough. Kind of. It is obvious what market these devices serve. Very useful to have, but they still leave a big gap above them for more capable and/or...
