Yes, we are lazy. Why drive a car when we could walk or ride a bicycle? Why buy food at a grocery store when we could hunt and grow our own vegetables? Why live in a house when a tent is just ...

That's asking for a critique. Anybody who is a DPR member knows that people will respond that way and should not complain when it happens. I believe it was in response to his criticizing the ...

LOL, so true!!!

Well, the photo certainly made me laugh. :-)

Yes. They don't have to be creative or original. It just means you can't use that particular photo for commercial purposes even if it sucks. It would not stop you from recreating something similar ...

Exactly!

Usually, such printers use 24" wide paper so it is capable of printing the full 3:2 image at 24x36 inches or longer if you stitch images together.

He could be right but I never carefully tested the camera to see if there's an improvement at f5.6 and 500-600mm. If there is an improvement it must be small.

Apathy toward new cameras is becoming more common because the newest models aren't much better than the old ones. I believe in waiting within years between upgrades. Last spring I bought a new ...

I disagree because the OP asked for criticism. All of it has been legitimate and they should look at it as a way to improve their photos.

LOL and my hat's off to you. These days it seems that "art" is 10% talent and 90% marketing (think Andy Warhol) Talent is required to produce something that looks good and to know what the suckers ...

I carry an RX100vii in a belt pouch which is far more capable than any smartphone. That person is an enthusiast who can't afford a good camera. Given enough funds, I guarantee they will buy ...

I believe the best photographers value sharpness, lighting, and composition because they are not mutually exclusive. The exception is those who use softness as a creative technique. For some ...

You had better loosen up your beliefs because Ansel Adams was all about getting the sharpest most technically perfect images possible.

It's night and day. It's the reason I sold my RX10-3 and bought an RX10-4. The RX10-3 was nearly useless for shooting sports while the RX10iv is better than the A99ii, which I also own.

Stopping down to f6.5-7.1 will actually be a little less sharp due to diffraction. It will increase DOF which may put more of the subject in focus.

You insulted a whole group of people when you said "And do think that really picky in photography often is "really anal".

You need a better spellchecker. :-) Without a good spellchecker, my posts would be pretty hard to understand. ;-)

If the best your car can do is 65 and that's how fast you drive the engine will wear out a lot faster than the one that can do 150 because you are pushing it to its limit all the time. :-)

In your opinion. Posting insulting comments like that is wrong. They probably think you have low standards.
