Film has less DR than current sensors!

The problem is the newly granted right to sublicense without compensation to you. You (dpreview that is) should compare the license agreements again, the previous rights are necessary to operate a...

I can't wait for the day when the wretched, unstable and misleading WISIWIG mode get's binned. The voting war malarchy doesn't help either and the lack of ability to contact the moderators and the...

@Henry M. Hertz,
try to read the specification with regard to black level storage and evaluation. The first evolution steps mandated the removal of the covered rows of the sensor data an replacing...

DNG is one unholy mess of things - it has no place whatsoever in a camera!

DNG is a seriously flawed concept - to try to press several hardware dependant formats like the different RAW file formats into a common mould is a complete misconception.
It was always lossy...

@Simon, sorry to hear that you are selling out. DPreview previously was the benchmark for independent reviews. By tying in with the DxO lot I feel that the independence is lost - because DxO Tests...

For what it's worth - I wouldn't bother with DxO results, their testing procedures are so far off any reality that these values serve no one - as often as they contradict reality they should really...

@GPW, I agree. I tossed my Manfrotto gear into the metal recycling bin because I couldn't bring myself to lie enough to be able to resell it. So I took quite a hefty loss but switching to a...

The fixed length of the legs make setting up that wannabee tripod (it's none by my book) impossible on terrain that's not perfectly flat. Even the slightest angle of the ground would make me fear...

Everybody and his dog wanted built in Wifi and GPS - which is what you got, so something else had to give. You don't get anything for free...

What do you do when the subject moves and you want to pan with it? Do you use a crosshair finder in the flash hot shoe or do you simply refrain from shooting such subjects? I tried and the EVF is a...

@ieR: So you need to be photographing a face - what about an animal oder a butterfly - they look nice in backlit situations? Sorry, but the EVF malarchy is and always will be a second class toy!

@AmaturFotografer:
Yes, the OVF shows more DR than the camera can capture but with experience you know how to judge the scene - or when to mitigate that problem by using for example a flash gun....

@phutyle: Have you ever tried to compose an image at daylight with the EVF? I bet you didn't because the highlights blow out, the shadows block up - you can't tell if your subject is surrounded by...

Putting the same unmodified focusing system from a crop camera into a full frame body is plain silly. Sorry, but with that minute frame coverage you have no chance but to focus and recompose each...

RIP Minolta/Sony... I have had the displeasure of experiencing the EVF of current SLT - they are gruesome. "Sony's 2.3M dot OLED viewfinder is a pleasure to work with..." is something I can not...

@Raist3d: You might not want to see it but look at what for example happens to foliage - even in the highly praised in camera JPEG I find this kind of smudging intolerable. I have had two Fuji SCCD...

Another epic fail on the sensor side. Again - just like the SCCD's introduced ages ago - the resulting images show abundant artifacts because of Fujis choice of a different sensor layout....

@graybalanced, sorry, but sublicensing doesn't mean that, they grant themselves a irrevocable right to sublicense as they see fit. This includes sublicensing your photos to porn sites, mcdonalds or...
