  • Digital non-SLR • Re: Canon G16 review has most interest April 18, 2021

    Thank you Aster!Aster is partly right about how security works. Plus, as I noticed, the forum uses php and possibly the old version. I use the latest versions of chrome, ms edge, firefox and opera, even my tablet and cellphones have android 10 with latest browsers... I don't have internet explorer. It's for a simple […]

    .Henry;Since this happens on the computer's EDGE browser and since I can view all your images on my Samsung cellphone, here's what I found:I used to be able to see the same photos years ago when you posted them to the forum and the Challenge thread.

Alpha 550: sky noise, exposure and Auto ISO

By David Kilpatrick, on November 22nd, 2009

My review of the Alpha 550 has caused controversy because of the blue sky noise. I might as well say that over the last week, I’ve used the 550 in a wide range of conditions – some very bad conditions included – and its failure to match ISO 100 finesse would not worry me at . . . → Read More: Alpha 550: sky noise, exposure and Auto ISO

Sony Alpha 900 and Nikon D3X raw file noise comparison

Like Mike Johnston writing in The On-Line Photographer, I’m aware that any attempt to line up one or more cameras and show comparison images or make judgements is on to a loser from the start. And any webmaster who puts an external link in the first half dozen words of a new post is losing . . . → Read More: Sony Alpha 900 and Nikon D3X raw file noise comparison

Sony Alpha 350 – a Creative Review

By David Kilpatrick, on June 12th, 2008

The introduction of a £399 (street price, RRP £449) DSLR with 14.2 megapixels – with or without a useful type of Live View – should have been applauded by reviewers. It’s the single most important point about the camera. No other DSLR approaches this image size and resolution at such a low price.
