Being able to run "real" Windows desktop software on a tablet - even one with a keyboard - is over-rated. If I'm using a tablet I'd rather use an app which was built from the ground up for a...

As serious as work you can comfortably do on a 12" screen and floppy keyboard at any rate. The Surface Book is the more interesting or the pair, but I'll be honest: it is still a fridge-toaster....

Final comment on these, before I toss them into the trash: If you look at the rear lens mount on a Nikon 1 Nikkor lens you'll see the bayonet lock has three tabs and one of those tabs is slightly ...
-
Nice shot, but technically the image quality is lacking. It is sharp enough, the main problem is the almost total lack of color depth. Did you increase the contrast and/or exposure a lot in post ...
-
The pins are gold plated and polished, so I wouldn't recommend that. The best option would be to replace the springs with softer ones. Next best option I can think of is to trim one or two coils ...

Did a little number on the extension tubes. They are now without the electrical connection pins. On disassembling I discovered that the 10 mm tube does use shorter springs, so, honestly, there is ...
-
Discovered what I think is the root problem. The pins are spring-loaded, but the same parts are used in both the 16 mm and 10 mm tubes. In the 16 mm part the springs are not compressed so ...
-
Not happy with these at all. The main things is the gold connector pins taper too sharply, or the spring force is too hard: the pins dig into the pads and plastic around the pad area on the rear ...

I keep far less on my tablet now than I did 3-4 years ago. So for me at any rate 16GB is fine these days when not too long ago even 32GB would have been marginal.

Ok so I heard the exact same argument many times concerning the original GR Digital. Right down to the analogies with Tri-X. Then they release the GR with an ASPC sensor, and everyone runs out for ...

Certainly there is massive amount more information present in the J5 image. Almost suspiciously so. No, I don't mean you deliberately spiked the test ... I just wonder if the difference in exposure ...
-
So this is an angle I hadn't really considered, and indeed Ricoh is huge and varied compared to Pentax. They certainly could buy into video, or machine vision, or image processing, by acquisition ...

It's just a brand name. Six letters to stencil on to the camera. Whether the central hump contains a mirror, a flash, an EVF, a GPS or even a yellow canary doesn't matter. I've said this before: ...

To all the "its just a box" people. No: it is deliberately styled with an aggressive, almost outlandishly teenage skater aesthetic. Think nVidia graphics card with a good helping of tactical LED...

Well, I won't agree with that! It's only in very "niche" cases that the N1 becomes clearly a poor choice. Low light action telephoto being the single most obvious. Studio flash systems being another. ...
-
Good. See, that wasn't so hard? Now we can talk about the real world instead of the numbers. If I was trying to get photos from a indoor or night concert involving kids - and worse, I wasn't an ...

"It's probably meant to be used and not stared at on your coffee table." Ah, that explains the skull graphic then.

And the unicorns. And anyway, I don't even subscribe to the mantra that a faster lens is de facto more desirable than a slower lens. Okay, so let's look at 30-110 VR, which is lens I use from time ...
