    So... advanced cameras in the hands of "happy snappers" creating problems?

    I'm posting this, inspired by a couple of recent posts here on SC from folks who've bought pocketable, big-sensor cameras. There are many people who feel that the answer to a problem is to throw more money at it. Over the last couple of years, we've seen a new class of camera emerge, the...

    more Hacklebarney waterfalls; my camera in a tree; unusual praise for a lens

    Another too-brief stop at Hacklebarney State Park. The waterfall area has oodles of wonderful rocks, I'm certain a more capable and artisitc photographer than I could make some wonderful images. I, on the other hand, take the obvious. :biggrin: One interesting aspect of the Pentax 18-55 kit...

    m43 vs aps-c @ 28mm FOV (kit lens comparison)

    Just figured I'd post a comparison between the Oly 14-42 lens vs the Pentax 18-55 lens at widest angle. The point of this little exercise is to demonstrate the differences in view between the 2 formats, not an image quality comparison. For PP, I just let ACR use it's "Auto" setting. Oly @...

    I recently bought an Olympus E-PM2 with the kit lens to replace my Panny LX7. My "big camera" setup is the Pentax K-01 + a handful of lenses. What I didn't expect was how much I enjoy the output of the Oly! The Pentax has a higher ceiling for maximum image quality, but Oly is, for me...

    When I see deer, I wanna shoot 'em... with a camera. OTOH, I sometimes think about shooting 'em with a gun (I don't own one) because I'm a carnivore who happens to like venison! Of course, I'm also a human being (really! :eek:) and I guess I'm hardwired to react emotionally to the...

    My "new" Takumar 200/5.6

    A couple weeks ago I treated myself to a Tak 200/5.6, a small, slow jewel from Pentax's halcyon days. The 88 clams I shelled out was about twice what an average copy of this lens would command, but I felt I deserved a minty copy, so that's what I did. I'm very happy with the lens, it works...

    Birds For this moment, I've waited 2 months - Updated with More Pics

    Since March, when I saw her and her mate constructing a nest, I've waited for this moment. I've stopped by at least 3 or 4 times a week, taken pictures, picked up garbage, and generally kept an eye on things. I didn't get a chance to come by for the last 4 days, and finally - today - I did...

    Falling into the same trap, or, those who do not heed history are doomed to repeat it...

    Last year, for a variety of reasons, I sold off most of my Pentax stuff. I decided to take the opportunity to raze my photographic self and arise anew, with just a Panasonic LX5 - kind of like when an ageing rock band ditches their pomp and pageantry and professes a desire to get back to their...

    Fuji Fuji HS50EXR #2: if at first you don't suceed, buy, buy again... (img heavy)

    In our previous episode of "As The Superzoom Turns", it seemed I had settled on the Fuji SL1000. The Nikon P510 had a horrible, slow, EVF and didn't shoot RAW. The Canon SX50 produced fine images, but the grip was tiny and the EVF was even tinier. The Fuji HS50 handled wonderfully (compared...

    UPS man came with the camera just as I was leaving the house. Fortunately, the battery had a 50% charge, so I popped it in the camera and took it with me. It was not great weather for shooting; gray and sporadically rainy. First impressions: Compared with the Canon SX50, the Fuji is much...
