Toni, as someone who switched from Canon to Nikon, I can safely tell you that despite Nikon's impressive subject tracking capability, Canon isn't that far behind, and unless you happen to be...

Sigma already has 17-50 f2.8 and 17.70 f2.8-f4 lenses, they're both pretty good (I owned the former) and very reasonably priced while good enough for serious professional work. On the Sony APS-C...

Can you elaborate your problem? I think this is one of those things that will work better if you can provide comparison screenshots a descriptions of the settings and picture modes you're using.

I'm guessing the ones who would opt for a D500 over a D750 are most likely nature and sports shooters who prioritize fast burst and reliable AF tracking over having a full frame. I have an a6000...

Thanks for a great and comprehensive review. I'm glad to see flagship bodies finally getting reviews on DPR! I'm looking forward to your review of the 1DXII as well, not because I'm interested in...

My opinion is if you're getting a refurbished unit with official Canon warranty, you're far less likely to run into a faulty AF unit than with a brand new one. More so if there's a good return ...

The EVF on my Fuji X30 is excellent, and I love it. The problem is, I can't shoot for more than 2-3 hours straight withit because it puts a tremendous strain on my eyes, and eventually gives me...

I love the hands-on experience of the Fuji X-Pro 2 alright. My only complaint is the ISO dial. I don't really like using auto ISO, and I shoot entirely in manual, so it's quite a hassle to keep...

The NX1 is a very fine camera. But it has two significant disadvantages over a DSLR that impact its professional usage, namely 1) battery life and 2) an electronic viewfinder, no matter how good,...

Heh, I pretty much shoot at 35mm or wider, typically around f5.6 to f11and at ISO 100-400 when I'm shooting a landscape with hyperfocal length. It's generally enough depth of field and sharpness to...

@Jeremiah If you stop down to f8 and shoot at a hyperfocal distance, your image will generally be sharp across the frame. Just not tack sharp all over, but still more than good enough even for...

I think people have allowed themselves to get caught up with what technology has to offer that they forget taking a photo doesn't have to be a complicated affair that involves a lot of gear and...

@daddyo Even in a landscape image, there should be something that is the centerpiece, that the eye should naturally rest on the moment they see it. Having everything tack sharp means nothing stands...

I don't get it. Why would you want to have everything tack sharp and in focus? Nothing stands out in the frame when everything is sharp. There should be something in the frame that naturally draws...

Agreed. You can easily push your ISO to 25,600 with the A7R II. That's already plenty, and one stop better noise performance than most other full frame DSLRs can manage (I have a Nikon D750, and ...

Wow, thanks a lot for your detailed reply. I'm currently using a Nikon D750, which is about as good as it gets for low-light focusing. Though like you put it, the live view on the Nikon is mostly...

Ah, you're right of course. I had a stupid moment, my mistake. What I meant to say is not all cameras allow you to convert the raw file into a JPEG if you shot only in raw. But enthusiast and pro ...

@Lyff

Can you offer some insight as to how quickly the Pentax can focus in both live view and the OVF in good and dim light? I've been a Canon user, now switched to Nikon, and also using Fuji and...

Some cameras have a built-in RAW converter that lets you make some minor adjustments and export the results into JPEG directly. They're not for drastic changes, but if you more or less exposed the ...

I go around this problem simply by choosing the JPEGs out of my camera to give to the client. They're normally looking only for like 10 shots that they need immediately, so I pick out those shots ...
