Would Sony and Nikon join forces to create an ultimate Mirrorless Camera to defeat Canon?
08/14/2017
Categories:
Sony and Nikon separately is not taking too much market share away from Canon and both have their individual problems with Cameras. But if they merged together on a project, would they be able to make a kick-ass mirror-less camera with the full Nikon Lens line and beat Canon into Submission? Maybe they could.
Will the D850 cause people to switch for Canon to Nikon?

Canon's latest offerings have been lacking in the area of technological innovation. Now with a Camera that offers full 4k uncropped video, sports and action AF system, 9fps continous shooting, silent mode, and a native 64 ISO, plus things like focus stacking, would you consider a switch?

Nikon 70-300 F4.5-5.6 Lens Review
08/10/2017
Categories:
This is a review on the Nikon 70-300mm Budget Telephoto Lens. This is an entry level Telephoto Lens for Full-Frame Nikon Cameras that is sharp out to 200mm and loses only a slight bit of sharpness when extended to 300mm. Is it excellent pickup used for $300 and new for $500 and is significantly lighter than the 500mm or 600mm lenses.
Is the lighter weight of a Mirrorless Camera really an advantage?

Categories:
The Sony A7II and the Nikon D750 came out around the same time and is at the same price point but the Sony Camera, being mirrorless is about half a pound lighter than its Nikon Counterpart. But is the weight loss a big advantage, especially when you add a big full-frame lens onto the Camera? Personally, I prefer the slightly heavier body because it balances out the heavy FF lenses when I'm shooting, what about you?

Dynamic Range in a Cameras is important because it lets you bring up the detail and recover the highlights and shadows from an image. If you are shooting photos at sunrise or sunset or if you are shooting towards the sun towards the day, you will need good dynamic range in order to edit your photos and make them look like what the human eye perceives the landscape is.

Nikon's Biggest Mistake -- Snapbridge
08/03/2017
Categories:
Nikon has done a lot of dumb stuff over the last few years from KeyMission to their semiconductor business-thing to releasing uninspiring cameras. But their biggest failure was Snapbridge because these apps are the future and if Nikon doesn't get on board, hire some competent software developers and make apps that actually work, they will go the way of the dinosaur.
Rokinon 14mm and 24mm Lens reviews
08/02/2017
Categories:
A summary of the 2 lens:
Rokinon 24 f/1.4 -- The lens is very sharp at f5 or above but at the lower f-stops, it does become soft. Its great for shooting landscape up until around dusk and is great for star trails but for sharp images in pitch black night, its not the best lens.
Rokinon 14 f/2.8 -- My choice of astrophotography lens for full frame cameras. Very sharp images all the way down to f/2.8 and captures a huge swath of landscape.
Please note that during astrophotography, both lens were focused to infinity so the foreground not being sharp may be due partly to that since it was only about 4 feet away.
