Check out the Audubon Society’s binocular guide. There’s recommendations in every price range. Vortex Optics seems to have the widest range of good value binoculars, gaining high ratings in several ...

I can see videographers wanting a stepless aperture control, which the ring can afford.

W. Eugene Smith, the protagonist of the movie. The qualities that make an excellent photojournalist are not the qualities that make for a peaceful life.

The documentation says nothing about supporting Olympus’s optical protocol, so I’m guessing you can only trigger it as a manual slave with the FL-LM3. The Godox controller isn’t terribly ...

I agree on the handling. That body is something else. It feels a lot lighter in the hand than the scale indicates, although you’ll still feel it in the bag/pack.

Good work capturing the behavior! There’s this whole strain in popular environmentalism that can be summed up as “save it because it’s cute!” Vultures aren’t cute, but they’re just as important to ...

EM1.3 can probably only attain 8 stops in CIPA with the 12-100 at the wide end. Best I can manage is only 4 or so, but I shake like a leaf. I shutter to think what would happen without the IBIS.

People keep forgetting that all of the current M1 machines are entry level, and TBH for the intended use the base Air performs the same as the more expensive models. M1X (this fall?) is where there...

That’s propaganda from people who don’t appreciate engineering.

There is no such thing as over-engineering.

Why? It’s the same engineers that designed all the previous cameras, and they’ve been working on DSP algorithms for years. If they have ported (and optimized) their code to 64-bit ARM they could ...

As in “inspiring terror”: currently at about 1.5M acres of the West have been/are currently burning, and the fire season still has 3-4 months to go, with the worst coming. Last year almost 9M ...

Yep, this is what we deal with every summer in the West. Beautiful and terrible at the same time.

It seems likely. What else would they put it in? I don’t expect OMDS to come up with any truly new camera shapes going forward, in order to save development costs. Both of those bodies are very ...

It’s not really necessary. There’s plenty of signal so that there’s no loss in quality by adding a gradient filter in post.

The weight of the E-M5.3 + 75-300 is 837g.

Olympus has emphasized close focusing distance and macro since the OM days, so I’d call it cultural.

I have no doubt that it will. It will just take a while, and I wonder if there will still be a consumer ILC market when it arrives.

I exaggerated a bit :), but hey, it’s a forum post, so who cares? There’s a list of Sony sensors on Wikipedia along with the known products they’re in. I went through it a couple of years ago ...

Organic isn’t anywhere near consumer level. The demonstration camera even had the power supply separate from the camera itself, IIRC. Those organic sensors turn out to be very, very power hungry.
