650 shots means you haven't really shot it a ton.  Now I would imagine if you were to shoot fabrics using flash for quite a bit, it'll occur more often.  This is because the flash is the primary ...

I thought very few *cameras* support high resolution full electronic shutter operation (not sure if sensors support it). For example even a 5D3 ML hacked for RAW video is not outputting full ...

Kinda rare to come up with a situation where you would want EFCS and not pixel shift. Can't you always take a single exposure from the pixel shift bracket anyways? And if it's EFCS then it's not ...

Shutter is damaged, do you have high shutter speed examples prior to sale?  And did you offer warranty or return?

Both Canon 85mm 1.8 and 100mm f2 have sample variation but the sample variation on the 100mm f2 is one of the worst of any make and model that is currently profiled by Roger Cicala. An excellent ...

And does your new Art Sigma lenses for Nikon still have that aperture lever on the back?

You already have a 400mm f2.8 VR II and the 70-200 f2.8 VR II, that makes you about as committed to any system as you possibly can be. There are folks that at *most* they have something like an ...

Samsung pulling out of mirrorless so quickly all of the sudden makes more sense in light of cross-licensing agreements where one focuses on smartphone market, and the other ILC.

It appears to me while all the DPReview pundits gave Nikon a big pat on the back for buying Sony sensors all this time, Canon put R&D into technology that most stills-oriented gear heads didn't ...

And licensing DPAF tech to (what will be) one of the best selling smartphones in the world is a nice income stream.

36MP on FF is actually slightly more forgiving than 16MP APS-C in pixel pitch at least for center performance (it is harder to maintain good optics off-axis however). More than likely however if...

I got temporarily banned for poking fun at Sony colors. Anyhow the same GM debut photo shoot was done across various outlets and IMO each one came back with slightly different results. I honestly ...

As someone going from USM/STM type lenses to screw drive AF, the screw drive really only makes objectionable noise during full focus hunts. But indeed a low light wedding would be the worst ...

It says that for pixel shift mode it has an electronic shutter mode. More details will come I'm sure, but I would figure that whatever the case may be, in order to have pixel shift work you need a ...

Yes that is pretty good, and to be honest none of the resolution tests matter, when it comes to standard zoom it often comes down to sample variation. Your copy looks better than Horshack's - ...

Dpreview seems to be supporting the mantra that the Pentax K-1 is for Pentax geezers with legacy lenses... Let's really break down why it is possibly in a very enviable position in lens lineup ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APS-C#/media/File:Sensor_sizes_overlaid_inside.svg First take a look at sensor size comparison. Remember at APS-C crop the K-1 is about 15MP in spatial resolution so ...

Or a draw to anyone who realizes that not every single wide aperture lens will be able to have OIS/VR/IS tacked onto it. This makes the K-1 the best camera for a lens like the Sigma 35/50mm 1.4...

I agree, its due to over exposure and shooting a lens at effectively 3 stops faster may have a bit to do with that....We know f8 will bring it under control by virtue of the handling that over ...

My 50mm 1.8 for $20 and 35mm f2.4 for $70, and 100 2.8 Macro for $340 are all brand new retail purchases from popular e-tailers in the US. Admittedly the first two primes were bundle...
