The 1100 uses SDHC signalling and likely 10MB/sec cards, but has a very small buffer. Unfortunately, the camera manual is mute about what sort of cards are required for maximum performance. DPR's ...

Oh, no question that it's a tuned circuit.

I don't think so.  It's basically a multi-turn loop coil in the pad, with a multi-turn loop coil in the device.  You're effectively creating a solenoid, an electrical structure that directs field ...

Well, yes and no. Wireless charging works by transmitting power - hopefully efficiently - through an antenna.  That efficiency and power transfer capacity depends on both the transmitter's power ...

Of course you can. Where the taking of pictures becomes destructive is when it displaces the reason for being in the situation in the first place. Smartphones and highly automatic cameras serve an...

ooooooh, snap...

You could try an Op-Tech rain jacket but close it up.  All you need is a loose thin plastic bag held on to the lens (or lens hood) with tape and with a small hole for the viewfinder and/or LCD. If ...

Check out this thread on Iceland: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4015265 If you must put down your bags in one spot (which, frankly, shortchanges Scotland and is counterproductive in ...

No. It means that they're not dedicating shelf space to cameras that don't sell to the typical Best Buy customer.  Full-frame DSLRs are serious-enthusiast tools; Best Buy stocks the consumer level ...

I've shot Canon and in the digital age I've shot Nikon.  My D80 was prone to highlight clipping, so I regularly set it to underexpose, but that camera also had DR issues and a reference point that ...

But are you aging and shaky? The OP may not be now, but ultimately will.  By that time the OP will not be wanting to balance a kayak either... And I'm being a bit facetious here.

Given that exposures don't need to be super precise to be workable - particularly if you tweak a bit in post or use the ever more sophisticated in-camera rendering now available, the thought of ...

Kayak. The problem with a 150-600 is that you'll need a tripod and a gimbal head to mount it on, otherwise you'll not be able to handhold it steady enough at 600 to do any good...and you'll need ...

This is true. The entire technical process of photography is capturing the scene with adequate dynamic range and then compressing it into a range that reflects the artistic intent of the ...

what's your specific problem? Stopping motion? Less cropping? Too much noise? Are you shooting RAW and post-processing, or just JPEG out-of-camera? Definitely it's fast lens time, plus a good ...

About 9 stops under best viewing conditions, often less. The observable dynamic range depends on ambient room brightness, and practically speaking most of what we're interested in occurs in about ...

We just got back from there. My basic advice: rent a car and escape the south/Golden Circle/Reykjavik area as soon as you can after checking out the Reykjavik scene, which takes at most 2 days and ...

True, my mistake.

Somebody is propagating tall tales. Simply listening to the shutter sound on a focal plane shuttered camera doesn't tell you much of anything...the posted shutter speed on the dial is an ...

So too does Nikon - with A-DL.  At the higher levels of A-DL, Nikon bodies reduce exposure by up to a stop to deal with the additional highlight headroom the scene is demanding from the camera. If ...
