Brain dead camera feature design (Canon, Panasonic, Olympus, etc.)

I own Canon, Panasonic, and Olympus cameras and they all have the same brain dead, annoying behavior in one respect. I bet you have noticed this too and you just shake your head in wonder that these camera companies all have the same ridiculous design feature. I am hoping there is some camera compan...

Sony HEIF: Why no Adobe RGB?

Is anyone still on this forum? Last month I bought a Sony A6700. I still have mostly m4/3 gear and still mostly prefer it, but I was sort of bored and felt like trying something else. Anyway, I have been playing around with HEIF photos. Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Panasonic, etc. these days produce 3 ...

20 years ago: Minolta D7i

I am shaking my head in sort of disbelief that it has been 20 years since I bought my Minolta D7i in May 2002. It was not my first digital (I had a 1.3mp Olympus and a 2.1mp Olympus before), but it was the one that got me to put aside my film cameras. th-2835498608.jpg PICT0400.jpg PICT0659.jpg PICT...

A700: Man in the dark, Guanajuato, Mexico

A man at night in Guanajuato, Mexico in 2008. Actually, it was much darker than it appears in this photo because I brightened it up. I was sitting on a bench nearby for several minutes and the whole time I didn't even know he was there in the dark doorway. He moved though and it caught my eye and I ...

Do you use Photoshop/Lightroom Smart Objects?

Smart Objects in Photoshop and Lightroom are a dream feature. If you don't know what they are then I suggest you do as I did and spend 3-5 minutes reading about them. For a long time I had heard the name, but didn't know what they were and never bothered to check. In Lightroom you can send a photo t...

Gatling disc camera

When will we finally see the fulfillment of the digital promise? A Gatling disc camera with lots of sensors that spins behind the lens. Talk about frames per second! Imagine the cool whooshing sound as that disc with all those sensors is rotating like a propeller inside the camera. It could act as a...

Jay Maisel loves his Nikon 28-300mm

Recently I read that Jay Maisel loves the Nikon 28-300mm on his Nikon DSLRs. He likes the biggest Nikon DSLRs such as the D3 class. A few days ago youtube recommended a short video of him talking about his way of photographing and it sounded just like what I have done for almost 50 years. Just go ou...

Canon G16 review has most interest

A few days ago I posted several threads with my user reviews and comparisons of several cameras. It is interesting that the old Canon G16 has the most interest. :) Rather surprising.
