  • Apple Aperture with Nik Suite, plus other plugins to taste.
    DXO Pro.

    For a full featured layered editor checkout the 30 day demo of Photoline, for both Mac and Windows. A well established...

  • Thanks for the response. I'm using Safari 6.0.4 on OSX 10..8.3 and a calibrated Retina display. I don't usually experience colour management issue with the browser. Perhaps the other sites aren't...

  • @DPR: Did these get edited?

    In the linked article and website the images have a softer palette and tone, more like the image bottom right.

    But on this site the first two look a lot more saturated...

  • I guess we're all different. The dial placement of the EM-5 is its absolute worst feature. Still bugs me now after nearly a year shooting with it, and the E-P5 looks no better.

    My thumb is a good...

  • Excellent solution. Call in the authority to protect the people the authority already failed to protect. I see it so clearly now.

    I originally interpreted the photo as "sanitary products are hard...

  • So first I wake up inexplicably early this morning, and now it looks like my girlfriend has drugged my coffee.

    I'm hallucinating that DPR have posted rumours and pictures of a camera they'll...

  • Maverick - "An unorthodox or indépendant-minded person".

    Sigma is a family owned business and the largest independent lens maker.

    But unpredictable; you never know what you are going to get. A...

  • Sigma are the real maverick.

    They make some stunning glass, especially under this new Art series banner. The announced 18-35/1.8 could be a transformation lens for APS-C.

    But they've made some...

  • Commented on Ricoh GR Hands-on Preview preview

    I don't think so. Their stated intention is the GR will have a 2 year product cycle with new features to be added via firmware updates.

    All digital GRs have been 28mm.

    If the intention was to use out of camera JPEGs, then for some purposes (where the chroma noise didn't matter) then the Nikon might be better. But personally, I prefer the approach taken by...

  • Commented on Ricoh GR Hands-on Preview preview

    Differences I see:

    The Ricoh image is 14MP, the Nikon 16MP. Odd. They are both reported as 16MP Cameras.

    The Ricoh at 1/640 vs 1/800 means the Ricoh received MORE light and should therefore have...

  • Commented on Ricoh GR Hands-on Preview preview

    The test scenes don't look that good to me. A little soft in places and the reds are too pale, tending to pink.

    However the test scenes for the GR at imaging Resource, look absolutely stunning....

  • Zooms offer great convenience, especially as you move towards the Tele end. But they can also make you a bit lazy with your compositions where you simply zoom to make it better, rather than explore...

  • Commented on Just Posted: Ricoh GR preview news story

    F/2 is not important for me anymore for this type of camera.

    Performance is clearly great wide open across the frame. Even my Fuji suffers a bit wide open. I look through my X100 images and it's...

  • Commented on Just Posted: Ricoh GR preview news story

    I have to say I'm delighted with how this has turned out.

    I heard the rumours of the APS-C sensor and feared it would pass over an imaginary 'compactness/performance' threshold that lives in my...

    Re: WB not available on the ADJ button.

    This would be good feedback to give directly to Ricoh if you get the chance. They have a history of listening to user feedback and releasing feature...

  • Now, for almost the first time, you don't need to sacrifice great IQ to enjoy the richer shooting experience. A great day for Ricoh fans.

    Now, those who strive towards great IQ don't need to...

  • It's a design thing.

    GR is Ricoh's high grade brand of lens. GR Digital is a compact body designed to enjoy the lens through photography.

    Usually, compact bodies take their cues from consumer...

  • Mainstream raw converters correct the distortion during conversion so relatively few people ever see how bad it is. But pre-corrected distortion can be very extreme, almost like a fish eye in some...

  • Will this do the software correction for the lenses prior to encoding?

    Many of the m43 lenses require significant software correction to remove distortion. There are a handful of lenses with low...
