@Fermat1637 - The Canon 7D mark II has an all cross 65 point AF system and can shoot at 10 fps with unlimited buffer for JPEG images. The D7200 can shoot at just 6 fps which is 40% slower and has a...

There is more to a camera than just the sensor. The Canon 7D mk II is of course a more expensive camera but it also has a better focusing system, a larger buffer, higher frame rate capture etc.

Maybe so but I would put far more faith in their testing than on your own personal tests that could be very flawed and biased.

DXOMark says otherwise. They rate the RX10 II better than the FZ1000.

And DPreview is testing the lens at only one focal length. There is no data on the rest of the zoom range.

That said the...

Sony never claimed it improved the IQ. IQ is very much still the same as the lens is the same.

However the faster sensor readout allows for 4k video, far superior burst mode and much faster...

Everybody's tastes are different. Most of these photos are a bit 'artsy' and some people can't appreciate such photos. My mom saw the band photo with them in silhouette and she was like oh you...

Can't be helped. :(

In order to match growing sensor resolutions. fast lenses have to be more and more complex and use exotic glass in order to compensate for the greatly increased resolutions.

Thanks for all the help. Thats one really cute kid you got there ! Also couldn't help notice how much nicer the A7r II colors are. I somehow doubt that's just the lens as the CZ 55mm f1.8 is no ...

@Musty - Rubbish !!!! I shoot in front of a cliff most of the time. I prefer the 45mm as I would rather take 5 steps back. WARNING : Not recommended for stupid people who stand with their BACK...

Thanks for the reply. Are you using a Canon or Sony version (Tamron 70-200mm) ? I plan on getting the Sony version Tamron 35mm f1.8 and using it with an LAEA4 adapter for now and when I get an A7r ...

The image has its EXIF embeded. Its a Nikon D300, ISO 400, 1/500 shutter speed at 160mm.

Hey guys I am in a dilemma. I currently use a Minolta 35mm f1.4 non G lens with an LAEA4 adapter to shoot weddings in pretty low light with an A7 and A7 II. However I am not too thrilled with the ...

I strongly believe (no proof though) that the issue is down to file sizes and the processors inability to handle large amounts of data.

So if they had lossless RAW the filesizes might be too big...

If you are happy with the 45mm Samsung then thats great. These lenses are for those that care for IQ especially wide open.

The Sigma Art lenses are big and heavy and yet people are flocking to buy...

Look people who want to buy such a camera have money. People like you and me can't justify spending so much for a fixed lens camera.

The Sony RX1 is also a pretty popular camera and the Q has a...

45mm is more 'normal' than 50mm.

^^ That is a mirrorless lens. Of course its going to be smaller. And does the Samsung 45mm come with IS/VR/OSS ?

Graham everyone's needs are different. While yes some people simply have money and don't mind spending, photographer is still an art form for many and their choice of tool needs to appeal to...

^^ I was referring to the pulling and pushing only. Didn't say anything about color cause at times I actually do prefer the color of the Canon files to my Sony. AF wise its a no contest and the...

What has lens got to do with anything ? I use a 24-70mm f2.8 mk 1, sometimes a 35mm f1.4 and rarely an 85mm f1.2 L

I was not referring to the sharpness or contrast but the dynamic range and how...
