How much resolution do I really need?
This thread has been incredibly interesting and Ronald's ( 50mp CMOS) commentary above articulates the essence of this subject so comprehensivly and clearly; sensor resolution is critical when producing very large pro-standard exhibition / commercial images and prints However, picking up on th...

How much resolution do I really need?
All this talk about weddings made me go back and look at my own wedding photos. I had a pro doing it and my cousin brought his camera as well. Year 2007, pro was with Nikon D70s and cousin with Canon 20D. FYI: it was in Poland, back then both of these cameras, even that they were 2 years old, were...

Storing processed RAW
I don't see much point in saving specific edit metadata over the longer term. Surely the best reason to revisit archived RAW files is to refresh the image, probably with newer and better software. Much better therefore to start from scratch ... Your own skills will have developed as well. What ...

I've never seen such persistent in trying to hold Lightroom responsible for something that it had nothing to do with. Lightroom causes hard drive failure? what next? Lightroom causes debt crunch plunging the world into depression? Exactly, and it was the all-in-one promise which encouraged suc...

I've bought no end of lenses that have come with a skylight filter attached. First thing I do is remove it and put it in the box with the dozens of skylight filters. Lol I do this too, only pulling them back out again if I sell the lens, so I have something to list as an add on / upsell. "includ...

Actually, some sensors are more sensitive to U.V. light than films. U.V. filters in front of the sensor are there for "normal" U.V. levels, not for high altitude or snowy scenery levels. Following up my interest in infra red photography, I've searched out spectra for camera hot mirrors. All of them...

Who dominates the DSLR Market ? Some 2015 published indicative info / stats
I agree 100%. I don't know why Ricoh / Pentax don't market their product more aggressively . I had Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Fuji, Sony and Pentax digital cameras. As far as functionality and performance Canon and Nikon are pretty good and probably lead the market. When you consider quality of the pr...

Who dominates the DSLR Market ? Some 2015 published indicative info / stats
I did mention in a post some weeks ago that I likely wouldn't buy the K3 II, preferring to wait for the FF or until a third variant of the K3 came out with upgraded AF, dedicated WiFi and maybe the flash reinstalled as I find it useful in some conditions. An articulated rear screen would be most de...

Who dominates the DSLR Market ? Some 2015 published indicative info / stats
Interesting to hear Daronl's comments above especially in relation to Canon/Nikon, as I am open minded about switching ranges but am trying to get behind all the hype. A quick search shows that out of about 96 Nikon lenses only one has both weather/dust resistance and anti-shake, and that isn't one ...

Who dominates the DSLR Market ? Some 2015 published indicative info / stats
This is such a good point Andrew but coming back to the very point of the discussion however, it isn't about being big or dominant per se; it is about establishing a sales volume and corresponding revenues that enables four principle business objectives to be acheived ; 1. Being able to lead the...

In my experience the retailers are fine provided nothing goes wrong. Their after sales service could be OK or could be, as I found, absolutely disgraceful. They trashed Sue's new laptop and eventually grudgingly refunded the total cost. When it came back it had loose bits rattling about inside, the ...

I recently bought a Dell 7000 series 2 in 1 13.3 inch laptop and am running windows 10 and lightroom 6. It cost £570 from Dell Outlet and has an i7 processor, 256gb SSD, and 8gb of RAM, its plenty quick enough for lightroom I'd say the most important thing to look for are the in this order...

Apart from accidental damage cover there is little point in buying an extended warranty - you have by law two years warranty on it anyway. I sent my Lenovo Yoga 3 11inch back recently when the screen failed. I am receiving a full refund from them. I don't use it for photo editing so it doesn't ne...

If one goes retail, one will end up basically paying an extra one hundred that goes to the store and/or to the salesperson. There are also plenty of horror stories about a number of retailers. Case in point... I've indirectly witnessed retailers not selling and/or even offering back up disks that...

Most laptops are the same nowadays made from similar branded components. I always look for aftercare and my past experiences. Dell have always been excellent sending a courier with a pedi case, drop the laptop in and arrived back four days later. Toshiba wanted me to pack my laptop in a strong...

Selling photos on Ebay, is it a good idea?
When selling any type of image (or even having it available on social media such as Facebook)... It's always best to have it watermarked in numerous locations; even going so far as to placing other photo alterations to the image to make it almost unprintable. Cannot begin to mention how many imag...
