You can get some respectable gear for this budget, and I get why they focused on new stuff only, but you could still get a lot more if you took the time to hunt down gently-used pieces. Let's face...

Yeah, it seems like it just comes down to which form factor is better for your preferred workflow. The A7S III and FX3 share essentially the same guts (other than the fan and the EVF) but they have...

Yeah but that's what a mechanical shutter is for. How often do you need 20+fps *and* silent shutter at the same time? Not that the a1 isn't extremely impressive, but for me the R5 would be all the...

No but they can definitely delete comments that are literally just copy-and-paste trolling, posted repeatedly throughout the same thread. And they can also delete the comments that respond to and...

Indeed. Magnification is not the size of the object compared to the size of the sensor, it is the size of the object compared to the size of the projection of that object on the sensor. If the...

If DPR had decent moderation, I wouldn't feel like I had to call people out on their BS because there wouldn't be nearly so much of it.

Please, both of you, you're embarrassing yourselves. Bloodreyna, your trolling is as tedious as it is obvious. Thoughts, your willingness to be baited is pathetic. Half this thread is turning into...

Ah, but you can charge a lot more money for CF than you can for engineering plastics. You can also charge a lot for weight savings, even minimal ones. It's all in the marketing. I don't see it...

2kg is not very many kg at all. An S1H is already 1.164g, before adding a lens or anything else.

Carbon fiber mountain bike frames are very common. High-performance sports cars sometimes use carbon fiber wheels. It can take plenty of all kinds of forces, assuming competent engineering design.

Given that magnesium machining is already very expensive (largely due to the fire hazard) and the fact that camera users already seem to be willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars for their...

You can absolutely make all kinds of complex shapes with CF, just look at the automotive industry, or bicycles for that matter. There are lots of different techniques for shaping carbon fiber. You...

What I always want to know about phone cameras, and what never seems to be available, is the maximum magnification. Some phones are much better at closeup photography than others—my iPhone XS Max...

Canon always does that stupid nickel-and-diming, customer-hostile BS with the lens hoods. DPR should call it out more forcefully, if you ask me. Make them feel some shame.

Agreed. Canon's whole R-mount system just keeps looking more and more attractive. It was a bit pathetic for the first couple of years, but more recently they've been releasing some very innovative...

It's a little odd that the "video" label for articles can mean either an article *about* video, or an article that *is* a video (which may or may not be video-related). Not a big thing, but...

OK Mr. Self-Appointed Policeman, what opinions *am* I allowed to express?

I really want to like Pentax cameras. I used to own a K-5II, and it was a great experience—robust, easy to use, and with good image quality at a good price point. At this point though I don't see...

It still needs a mechanical shutter. Electronic-only is too limiting, even for landscapes. Sometimes there is wind moving your foreground elements around, you know?

"Made from the same material as LEGOs" doesn't really have the same ring to it.
