It's also a class of digital files. You might not like it, but there it is.

@HowaboutRAW 2.10 isn't 3.0 -- the dot isn't a decimal point.

@CFynn That is typical for a software company, and actually very high for companies overall. The money is _definitely_ "going there".

How does Corel manage it? Well, aside from repeatedly going...

Here, they're just using the word "cloud" to mean "subscription software", and they're only using it because it's a more-palatable buzzword. The software is still actually installed locally, so...

$600 over five years? So, literally, a third of a dollar a day? Really, cry me a river here.

Adobe's R&D takes money, and with digital goods a subscription model makes more sense than pretending...

I wish the Bang! one said Click!

That is all.

@Johan: no, that's not the case. DNG is just a container format. Proprietary RAW formats are *also* just container formats. Once the container is decoded, the actual conversion path is identical...

Yeah, but set the ISO to something like 400 and watch the advantage tip _steeply_ to Bayer.

I think what you're seeing is mostly the effect of Olympus's excellent JPEG engine. Switch to RAW and there's no striking difference.

I disagree. The _value_ of the RAW image samples is that they're all converted with the same software in the same way. If you want to see samples converted using the manufacturer's individual...

Yeah, no Pentax K mount either. They're aiming at the big two brands because that's where the money is.

And of course their own mount, because, hey.

Maybe they bought Pentax for a reason.

There's a pretty amazing lens selection, including, ironically given the wording of your complaint, the Limited series.

It's fine for you to switch to Nikon for full frame if that's what you want,...

How is posting "I love my [competing camera]" on a thread "rational discussion"? It's irrelevant noise at best.

Thanks Andy. Sounds pretty authoritative.

Do you have a reference for "The 'R' in the lens name indicates that ... the 14mm has a dedicated ring to control the aperture."?

Previously Fujifilm has indicated that the R stands for "radius...

I woudn't say image quality "suffers". Rather, technical image quality is _beside the point_.

"2 times better" = 1 stop.

Pentax is curiously reticent to admit what bugs they may have fixed in a given release, possibly due to a quaint pretense that if they don't admit problem the product will be seen as perfect. Of...
