  • Yeah. I bought a D5300 in 2014 and had serious buyer's remorse when Nikon introduced the D5500 six months later. Then about a month ago I picked up a D5500 for the first time and was underwhelmed ...
  • I own both cameras. The D5300 is smaller, lighter and has a flip-out screen. The D7100 has better handling, better AF, a bigger viewfinder and it mounts my D-series lenses. The photos are the same. ...
  • I'm glad I got my NX500 for $500 CDN when BestBuy Canada had their fire sale. Then again they only had three units left and were sold out within a few hours. I also got the 12-24mm for $200 CDN ...
  • This is DPReview, where any perceived flaw on any camera is going to be troll bait. Never mind how photographically irrelevant it is. I posted some test photos a couple of years ago here. But those ...
  • It's actually hard to get it to band in 14-bit RAW. All of the examples I've seen are people pulling shadows 3 or more stops in JPEG or 12-bit RAW. And even then it's easily fixable with Topaz DeNoise.
  • Only if one ignores what the article actually says.
  • Well, ChromeBooks are having an impact on the market. There were around 5.7 million of them sold in the first three quarters last year. Enough to have Microsoft very worried about a future where ...
  • Well, the people who run serious photo editing software are a minority. And the web-based photo editors like Pixlr get better and better each year.
  • And your point is? Android is Linux-based too. It's not as free or open as some of us would like but it's way better than the alternatives. The computing world is evolving to the point where OSs ...
  • I work as an IT Manager. I personally need a workstation and a multitude of servers to do my job. But that doesn't mean that everyone in my office needs to run a full-blown desktop, nor does it ...
  • In a world where desktop sales have been shrinking for years, and notebooks are under threat from ChromeBooks and tablets. Which is not to say that the desktop OS will disappear, but it's a 1980's ...
  • The desktop has become irrelevant. The shift to Linux is already taking place: it's called Chrome OS .
  • I agree with this. Lens sharpness is largely irrelevant for this type of photography. If anything, boudoir photographers tend to soften up their images quite a bit with filters and/or post-processing.
  • That's all well and good, but it all depends on what you want from your camera body. The Nikon D750 costs less than the K1, is smaller and lighter, almost certainly offers much better metering, ...
  • IBIS? Really? Nikon FX cameras have a very usable ISO 12800 and have dozens of available lenses that stop up to f/1.8 or faster. You can shoot hand-held in ridiculously low light without VR/IS. At ...
  • It could just be that they didn't have a replacement battery in stock and they didn't want to open up another D5500 box and create an "open box" item just to get the battery. I've dealt with that ...
  • I'm kind of like "Meh, so what?" with the K1. A 135 format sensor doesn't quite solve a problem like it did a decade ago, as today's APS-C cameras are good through ISO 6400 and have more resolution ...
  • Replied in horse biscuits
    I agree with this.
  • Mine arrived this afternoon. Thanks for the heads up! :-D NX500 with 12-24mm
  • Agree on the price anyway. The a6300's pre-order price in Canada is CDN $1,500 with the kit lens, compared to the CDN $500 I paid for my NX500 a few weeks ago. Otherwise I think the cameras are ...
