The last hybrid stills-video set up I saw was at the Vegas airport; it was a news cameraman on his way back from an assignment and he had 30 or 40 pound Sony ENG camera in one hand and a Nikon D3...

Say what you will about big broadcasters like the BBC and ABC/NBC/CBS, they deliver an extremely high-quality product visualy. My understanding is that broadcasters need much higher quality footage...

Isn't it weird that in all the almost 100 years of 35mm cameras, no one ever thought about solving the mismatch between film and paper size by just producing paper in the same aspect ratio as the...

And, they're easier to retouch because you have so much better pixels to work with. It's hard to describe, but it's like there's more breathing room around your cursor when you go in to move things...

Can't wait to see how it performs on the DPR studio tests and on the mean streets of the Emerald City. How soon can Hasselblad get one to Seattle for testing?

When is Sony going to produce a sensor that does 16-bit images. We're never going to compete with the medium-format people using our mediocre 14-bit pictures.

Go on Flickr.com and search for photos taken with those two lenses and decide which one you prefer the look of.

And that goes double for Pentax.

Why do reviewers always freak out about using lenses that cost more than the camera body?
If you're going to be shooting with a 24 megapixel sensor you want to use a lens that gets the most out...

FOCUS PEAKING, FOCUS PEAKING, FOCUS PEAKING!!!

I wish Fuji would ask NIKON and Sony how to improve video quality because I would dump all my equipment and switch to Fuji exclusively.

I would say put Sony has made the right trade off between stop down focusing accuracy versus speed because these are some of the sharpest photos I've seen in one of your galleries.
Now if only...

Yes.

Excuse me, dude sir, but while this may not be a music publication, it is a publication nonetheless. Put up monochrome versions of those too-blue pictures and let us be the judge.

You need higher ISO for times when you need both plenty of f/stop for depth of field AND a high shutter speed to stop action. What about covering a war at night. Or shooting wildlife before the sun...

I still can't believe we got rid of ASA and replaced it with the drastically inferior ISO. But you're right, the DIN system was probably better, that ship, unfortunately, has sailed.

We live in a borderless world now and written English is a big contributor to that phenomenon, so it's incumbent on writers to be aware of that new reality.

However, that doesn't mean they have...

KYE-bosh. It is part of an ideomatic phrase that means "to put a stop to." It showed up in England with the earliest use recorded in 1836 and the folks at m-w.com say that even though it sounds...

But will this camera save me from getting those blown out, ugly yellow, nose and forehead highlights in high contrast conditions? And hair. Those supposedly recoverable highlights never are when...
