    JurijTurnsek got a reaction from IronFilm in Kipon Adapters For Nikon Z And Canon R   
    Jesus F Christ, enough with the speedboosters for the R. Just wait for a full sensor read-out model.
    Do guys absolutely hate DPAF and value bad RS as a "creative tool"?
    Canon slaps you in the face with a severely compromised body and you bitch and moan about it. Then you turn your back and apply every band-aid and ointment to it that would somehow make it "the body that was promised". You should reward other OEMs instead aka take you business elsewhere.

    Poor Sony is trying to live up to the claims of that Weibo account, so the release gets postponed by 6 months with every new rumor posted there.

    JurijTurnsek got a reaction from kye in Micro SDXC with adapter vs SDXC cards   
    I've been using a microSD with an adapter for 5 years until the card died (few months before the warranty ran out). I've had a few times when the card was deemed corrupt and had to format it and no such issue with the regular SD card I got as the replacement. It could be an issue with the snugness of the adapter (it's a flimsy piece of plastic) or the 3rd party batteries that would sometimes die well before the percent would get to 0%. I've been using these batteries as the last resort since the card died, so maybe the adapter is not to blame.
    Unless you share the same card with some action cams, I would advise against it, since they are so much easier to loose and the adapter could break or become less snug after a lot of use and you wouldn't even know it. These days, most Android phones don't have hot-swappable mircoSD card slots so even that advantage has gone down the drain.
    However, at since the debate is about microSD, I would once again suggest to Sony to incorporate one such slot as a backup slot on their APS-C models. You would never even take it out, except for the time that the main card fails and the size of the card reader would fit in nicely in the smaller bodies.

    I have never got that either.
    I have found that in many instances Sony colours are more accurate to reality and in many cases people prefer Sony colours in blind tests.
    I think it comes down to People getting used to Canon and Nikon colours more over many years and liking what they knew.
    I have never had any issue with any brand for colours for stills and for video, I just use what I get from the camera.
    Besides, there is always a much bigger difference in what I see between the various computers, monitors, TVs I look at stuff on.

    Such ludicrous speeds are unheard of in the world of FF lenses.

    Isn't the point of having a FF sensor not having to deal with all the compromises that speedboosters bring to the table? It makes a bit of sense with Canon's crop, but for Nikon? Or are you guys itching to slap some slow medium format glass on it?

    Sorry, Yeah, was just going off current £2.5K for the Sony and £3.5K for the Leica.
    God knows what the UK price will be post Brexit when it's probably launched. 
    Probably cost 500 pairs of Levis, 10 sacks of potatoes and 25 LPs of music from Western bands. 
    I definitely think that both that Panasonic and the Samsung whose name escapes me with the zoom lens would have found the world had come round to meet them if they did new versions.

    Canikon had a great naming scheme of the number of digits indicating the price/feature bracket. With the M series that naming scheme went full retard, but is now slowly coalescing towards the same principle (but it took them many iterations to get there). Then they start the R line the same way.
    On the other hand, Nikon has a clear naming convention for their Z line, as does Sony and everyone else. Each model is properly named, differentiated and placed in the product line. It makes sense to assure the consumer that you are going to maintain different models for different uses and just upgrade them every few years - one for max resolution, one do-it-all basic model and a sports model etc. Now try to remember the confused M line models and try to extrapolate any sensible model strategy for the future.
    As a side note - Sony has been inconsistent in their APS-C (NEX) line naming as well - they have a much more consistent approach in their FF line.

    What a substantial upgrade! Kudos to Fuji - the new sensor makes me hopeful for the new Sony APS-C flagship. Overall there isn't much to improve on the XT line and the customization options are ridicules.

    Drone cameras are a category unto their own, because they have the best possible heat dissipation (which will never be replicated in a handheld camera).
    However, I would not be surprised if DJI surprised us with a serious mirrorless entry in the future.

    It’s a law of nature of marketing a new product: the less quality you are offering the more noise you have to make. It’s as simple as this.
    The Pharmaceutical Industrie is the best proof for this law. New drugs, being as ineffective as the previous generation, have to pushed hard,
    e.g. on one week events for the  so called oppinion leaders in the Carribean, Hawaii and locations like this, of course with spouses.           
    An invitation to Hawaii for the so called "camera journalists" (unfortunately only 2 days, no spouses) tells me that the new product is not worth considering at all.

    What are you guys filming that makes S35 so redundant? I think it's a great format, you can have smaller, lighter lenses, but still get very shallow DOF.

    I am still firm APS-C believer - best compromise between size, IQ, price and DOF capabilities. FF is just too expensive and too big. All these FF rumors have me wondering, who has the money for this stuff (professionals aside)? Hopefully, Sony and Fuji will keep the flame alive and Sony won't just focus everything on their FF efforts.

    Go to DXOMark website and look at T stop ratings for f1.2 and f1.4 lenses and be amazed at the marketing mumbo jumbo. Also, what good is light if it is almost completely OOF? Lens designs have matured to the point that most high end primes are excellent wide open. No more stopping down that f1.2 lens to get decent sharpness etc.

    JurijTurnsek reacted to Robert Collins in Canon FF mirrorless is coming   
    I saw this at B&Hphoto today and it pretty much sums up why Canon will dominate in mirrorless....

    You see it lists the top 3 'best sellers' in FE lenses.
    Never mind that the 28-75 2.8 is supposed to be plasticky, the 50 1.8 is supposed to be horrible and the 85 1.8 isnt supposed to have great bokeh. At the end of the day consumers 'buy value/cheap'. The same applies to APSC where Fuji offers the 'quality/expensive product' but where its market share is so low nobody actually knows what it is. While Canon with minimal efforts is making great inroads. Fuji is releasing an 'amazing' US$6,000 200mm F2' while Canon doesnt sell an EOS-M lens over US$500. Look there is always a market for high end, ground breaking, mtf chart lenses which are inevitably very expensive - but it just isnt a very big one.
    All the mirrorless manufacturers are going relentlessly upmarket leaving a large gaping hole for Canon to walk through.
    You see the great achievement of Nikon and Sony in FF mirrorless is to create fabulous high tech FF mirrorless at 'relatively affordable' price of under US$2,000. But it is a complete waste of time if even the most basic of your lenses are over US$500 a pop. Sure Sony has now 'eventually' got a few affordable lenses but there simply arent many (especially compared to Canon and Nikon DSLRs.) Both Sony and Nikon are absorbed with huge amounts of hubris - Nikon bringing out a US$6,000 58 0.95 with manual focus  (before a basic long zoom) and Sony is promoting its lightweight, 3kg, US$12,000 400 2.8.....
    So in all likelihood Canon will enter the FF mirrorless market with a totally underwhelming camera, with lenses that are uninspiring (but you wont have to have to make the excuse they look good value against Leica.) And much to everyone's irritation but no surprise they will walk away with the market
