Shoot in the highest quality JPEG or use DNG RAW files, and that should help.

Don't forget that cards should be formatted in the camwera they are to be used in.

Photoshop Elements is the program I would recommend to process your images.

A little unfair to say no-one cares, because I know they do.

Sometimes it's just a matter of priorities and the amount of benefit. We can be sure that whatever is changed there will be others who don't like the change. Sometimes it's a technical issue that can be difficult, such as the EXIF reporting problem in the Gallery seems to be.

But mostly I would expect it's a matter of time - can one IT expert spend a whole day on an issue that isn't vital when there are plenty of critical things to deal with?

Fair point, and of course SR does nothing for moving subjects either. We still need high shutter speeds to arrest movement, but at least the noise level is now lower so higher ISO values can be set.

I only have one folder on my cameras, it's just a matter of setting the preference you prefer and instead of Date use 100PNTX as your option.

If you are thinking about a lens that should be available as a backuop then an identical one to what you have is emminently sensible. As you are handed the backup lens in some stressed situation the changeover will be seamless.

Now as regards your wife, whu assume that she should have something different? Why? If the best general lens for you is the 16-50mm then it may well be so for her, unless she has different requirements.

I would ask he what she would like. Her photography may not be the same as yours and therefore something else might be more useful. For example, if she likes walking in the rain she will need a WR or sealed lens!

It's a good set from a very difficult situation. I think the focus point does tend to be slightly off as generally it should be on the eyes, but of course there are exceptions especially in these types of shoot.

Raising the contrast would also be good as they are a bit grey-all-over and I wouldn't mind if this increased the grain. It would add to the atmosphere. Sadly (in one way)there's no smoke filled room any more, as that would certainly add a feeling to the pictures.
