Arizona Sunset

If this had been a modern system camera (e.g. from Sony, Fuji, Nikon) with a slot for your phone, existing sensor and mount, full grip and camera ergonomics, but with the phone's OS and...

Well played

They can both exist. For many, m43 is a better compromise. For me, 1" and FF are better compliments when I don't want to compromise. When Olympus finished the f1.2 lineup, and somebody man's up and ...

Like! I have a similarly sized Pentax f3.5 with similar, albeit not quite as smooth, look. Keep the pictures coming :)

Yes, silent shutter is on the S original. It's a lot better video - basically moire / artifact free 1080p - and about three stops better performance (think, I can shoot at f8 instead of f2.8 here) ...

I'm limited by time and energy. The time to practice the art, and the energy to put forth adequate practice. The technology is not in the way.

I love the A7 form factor the most of them all. But I'd probably lean toward the A7S for the lovely 1080p internal and silent shutter if I had to though... The S is a more advanced machine overall, ...

The RX1 is $1000 used, rentals are about $100. I'd never consider the RX1 a replacement for the RX100 for pocket ability, but IQ wise, at 35mm, they are different genres.

The GM is not a "travel" / tourist lens, per say, at least in my book. It's not going on a backpacking overnight, on a cross-continent trek, on a leisurely hike, or on a casual bike ride. I could ...

T's not to do with class. Their images are incomparable as the sun sets, into the evenings, or just plainly in a domestic setting.  They are incomparable for environmental portraits.  There is ...

There are gains to be had outside of megapixels. I liken my S II to what m43 could become, one day. That is, a couple of stops better due to color fidelity into high ISO, excellent noise ...

2) Spotted Red shank in full bloom ( breeding plumage) I've seen some other samples of birding head shots that were blurred nicely, but the rendering looks inconsistent across examples. Great ...

There is a tangible difference in output, and in size/weight, between the RX1 and the R II combination. One fits in a purse, in a side pocket, in a console, and the other doesn't.  One is casual, ...

They are within a margin of error, their weight. However, 70 vs 240 on the long end, especially a sharp-ish 240 in the center, is nontrivial in its final effect on your photography, or at least my ...

The out focus part looks a little oniony, harsh even.  Is it just me?

Great capture! Sony's onion ring bokeh on the RX10's makes the background a bit busy, but a good composition, color, and exposure makes this wonderful.

That sucks.  RX10 III sounds like the timely, albeit expensive medium.

Some thoughts: (1) Buy the 24-70 f2.8 to replace prime lenses (borrowed from Roses' post a while back); buy the 24-70 f4 to compliment them.

A perfectly exposed ISO 6400 is useful on a 7 II... if you push DR, or push colors too much, it's not.   I don't believe that noise or lack of detail is a detraction from low light / domestic high ...

I agree with the RAW files being much better on the Sony. The draw for me is the lens lineup, a basket of $500 f1.4's in front of a classic, simple camera like the X-Pro2 for stills. Just fun. PDAF ...
