What's that Noise?Shedding some light on the sources of noise
gorilla789: This might be a good thing for photography as a medium. It filters out those who buy dslrs because it's fashionable, or as a status statement, or whatever reason. They've got smartphones now. One must be really determined and very interested in the medium to waste money on a dslr (and maybe making calls on the cheapest phones available).
"It filters out those who buy dslrs because it's fashionable, or as a status statement, or whatever reason."
It also filters out those contributing to covering the R/D costs and to the scale economies.
scottcraig: Would have thought that Nikon would have at least been mentioned but...I guess not. Still winning an award is by no means conclusive which camera manufacturer is better.
> Nikon would have at least been mentioned but...I guess not
Other notable awards are Prosumer DSLR of the Year for the Nikon D500 ...
The post offices of some more or less exotic places do not offer real lost stamps but simple price labels printed locally. A pity from a stamp collector's point of view.
korenje: looks like a "snapshot", not a photograph.
The light was enough for 1/4 sec at the widest aperture F2.8. As said, it was pretty dark.

I am sorry about that. It was pretty dark, the camera had no stabilization and this image was obtained as the result of the PP.
Peter Koudstaal: Of course we wish all the Cubans a lot of fun with their new Iphones or fast internet but i do hope the country will remain - for the sake of authenticity and photogenicy - free of Walmart, MacDonalds and Starbucks for at least a while. But the Cubans will probably ask themselves in about 10 years from now: where did it go wrong?
It did not take in my country 10, only a couple of years after the communist takeover in 1949, that people sitting in the jails or in the camps asked themselves, where did it go wrong.

Jurka: I just bought G7. Autofocus performance in video mode is the same as GH2. (Very poor and not comparable to Sony A6000).
> Panasonic should be dominating in this area since they are video centric
Well, that might be even a draw-back: not willing to hurt the video camera business.
Once we sere skiing in Slovenia and would-be wifey had wrong shoes with her, maybe borrowed. They did not really fit and hurt (chafed) her skin. So we rented her a pair of ski shoes which did a good job at comforting her sore feet and saving the ski holidays for her.
We were much fond of this brave pair of shoes and I wanted to buy it but is was not possible.
Mike FL: The guy is interesting, and he is not very sure that LX100 is better than 15 yeas old Canon P&S:
"Announced September 18, 2000, the PowerShot G1 sported a 3.3 megapixel CCD sensor...The Canon G series has been through more than a decade of evolution and remains attractive to enthusiasts looking for a compact with lots of manual controls."
"...the Lumix LX100 is undoubtedly a high-priced compact...As for how much we’ll miss those 3.2 million pixels, though, for that we’ll have to wait and see."
Ok, he will tells us what he sees...after he has LX100 to compare to the 15 yeas old P&S.
> LX100 is better than 15 yeas old Canon P&S
Well the Canon G series had several models since the debut with G1 as also mentioned in the article.
joe6pack: Heart warming story. Sometimes, the photos in a camera is worth more than the camera itself.
I had some precious photo that was lost in an xD card (thanks Olympus!). I would certainly willing to pay twice the price of the card to get my photo back.

Did you try a recovery program? I had good experience with TestDisk/PhotoRec.
I was there and know the place so let me comment on this picture (not by me).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimetea
Rimetea (formerly Trascău; Hungarian: Torockó; German: Eisenmarkt, Eisenburg)
It is a pretty former miners' village. In 1870 a fire destroyed it but it was then rebuilt in a short time, so it has pretty similar white houses (like the ones in the background), a uniform village-scape all around.
The foreground might be from the public well in the main square.
Esign: I think that everyone opposed to be photographed has something to hide. Most of the time, it's bad hair day, wrong shirt or forgot to shave. At the same time, nobody seems to care that 1000+ people can watch you in person when you cross the city (and see your shortcomings perfectly).
In Budapest, 90 % of the people on the streets are tourists, anyway.
> In Budapest, 90 % of the people on the streets are tourists, anyway.
Well, there are touristic places where this might even apply, but generally speaking it is of course an exaggeration.
But while you are in Hungary, the Hungarian laws apply to you too. If it is forbidden to take a photo of a person without permission, then it applies also to the tourists as photo subjects too.

Horsefeathers: I have the Panasonic brand to be reliable and have never needed any service of any sort. I have owned two Panasonic and FZ30 and an Fz150 and the FZ 30 is still taking good pictures. It hasn't missed a beat.

I have an NV-GX7 video camera since 2002. It once needed service: its still picture taking ability was gone.
My favorites are #4 and #9.
sono1mito: mah,affermare che le ultime telecamere rappresentano un" grande passo avanti rispetto a 2 anni fa" mi sembra esagerato,certo qualche dettaglio è stato migliorato ma non tanto.Ognuno di noi penso che anche con una camera "vecchia" scatta ottime foto senza inseguire le ultime novità.

> Ja ik denk dat ze ook niet Nederlands verstaan.
Well, on the basis of German it is not impossible to understand some Dutch, so this much can be fairly understood by (the relatively numerous) German speakers too.
Anyway, the remark was a good way to hint that it is not very wise to publish in Italian in an English language international forum.

ZorSy: sad and concerning if their authorities consider this a "solution" for the problem....
> the facades were covered with huge billboards of the picture
Often the facade is kept while the building behind is being completely replaced. With or without billboard.
I was pondering on entering but it says for me
"Challenge is now open for submissions" and
"no entry" and still
"challenge full'.
It is strange even if I see your post on having closed it.
