Anyways, this is hilarious to me because every brand but canon relies on sony sensors. Curiously, they all seem to actively avoid competing with sony’s photography lineup. Even canon is weirdly deleting the mechanical shutter and viewinder for compact models like they aren’t allowed to directly compete with sony’s de facto stranglehold on the high end compact ILC market.Coincidently blackrock and vanguard own significant portions of both sony and canon and are known for telling the companies they invest in what to do to.At the end of the day all you’re arguing about is which blackrock camera is the best.

What RF lens should I get on a crop body?
>Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8
>Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8
>Sigma 56mm f/1.4 + maybe some other lens
I mainly do birds with a different lens, but I need some lenses for family / friends / dog photography while out traveling, hiking, or at parties.
I want them to have really nice subject separation and background blur.
I don't like the idea of swapping lenses while out on a hike or at a party, asking someone to wait before I take their picture.
I'm leaning towards the 17-40mm, unless for some reason 50mm looks a lot better for portraits than 40mm

How is the Canon Powershot V1? I was looking at either a Sony RX100VII or a Canon G7X III but the Powershot V1 looks really good and is a really good price, sitting sort of between the two. I'm after a combo of compact and RAW capability with decent image quality and so far the V1 looks really good unless I'm missing some crucial issue that makes it worse than the other two.

Dear /gear/.I got recently Godox V480 flash since my previous one, YN685 was not working correctly with my new Z5 II (TTL was not flashing at all, manual worked fine). When I tested at shop, it obviously flashed in TTL mode but back home I think it flashes too weak - still do but it's barely visible on dark subjects. It's not a problem with flash power since I can adjust +1EV on flash itself and it shoots more properly but still, this is not how TTL was supposed to work. Adjusting +1EV on flash compensation or exposure compensation on camera itself likewise makes flash shoot stronger so I assume it's some problem with TTL itself. At shop I was told that V480 is fully compatible, however.What I could be missing here?

Yt nigger said that fisheye lenses are more for artistic looking pics and you must know what you are doing as framing is almost impossible especially with the 4mm and 6mm that will even get your feet and hands holding the camera in the picture. so you must hold the camera like a phone and hands stretched out.
They said that a rectilinear one is what i should be getting if i m a normie that want wide shots. But i kind of want a faster lens to use for astro or lower light photos like museums

>jew hater is dumb af
Read about it. They dont use a single readout. They read out both gain pathways simultaneously and combine the data so the 1st gain stage gets a massive boost in shadow data, making up the characteristic “step” seen in dual gain sensors SNR plots. The 2nd gain stage gets very little extra besides a sub-stop bump from having a less noisy ADC.
Panasonic/towersemi released this tech to the consumer market recently in a slightly inferior form (panasonics g9ii was limited to some shutter speeds - sequential, not simultaneous readout)
Sony and canon had already used it and honed it for industrial and security products
A
Anon08/15/26, 20:22No.4523325
The thing is this is the new sensor read technology. Pentax uses a separate chip, Nikon and Canon uses their main processor but the result is similar, reduced noise in the higher ISO regions, usually starting at ISO 400-600.
Canon, Nikon and Pentax can do this, Snoy can't. Canon, Nikon and strangely Pentax are new and fresh. Snoy is old, tired and stale. Facts.

I have my GFX50SII with several lenses that I enjoy a lot. Now I've saved up enough to buy one of those. What you do it and which one?
>Ricoh GRIV
>Ricoh GRIV Monochrome
>... or wait for the GRIVx (mono)I know it's a small sensor, not the best build quality and way overpriced. But the main purpose for me is to leave my GFX at home sometimes and still have a snapshitter that is better than my iphone. I'm kind of leaning towards waiting until the 40mm x variant comes out because I think that focal length is a bit more unique compared to the 28mm phone look. But who knows if and when they release it. Monochrome sensor would be nice too because it's more usable at night and offers something more unique compared to the GFX. I love taking B&W photos. I don't shoot anything professional. It's mainly to capture moments, edit them a bit in LR, send them to my family, receive an "cool, nice photos" reply and then look at them after a few years for the feelz.

The whinging about in-camera versus post-editing has led me conclude that I have the superior approach:
>Take RAWs
>Use first-party software in post to perform demosiacing and lens corrections
>Use preffered software (C1, LR, DT, RT) to do bulk of editing
>Use PS (GIMP if poor) for more major edits
Workflow might be a bit longer but it just werks. You get first-party "color" ""science"" while retaining the superior toolkit of the paid software.

Why do I need/want full frame if APS-C already offers absurdly shallow DOF (e.g. eyes in focus but nose and ears not in focus) with the right lens?I am not a pro but the impression I get is that the advent of IBIS letting you shoot at ≥3 stops of ISO/SS lower was more than enough to make up the difference in sensor size which was probably more important back in the day.

Is the Nikon Z8 still worth it? The Sony A7RV is cheaper used, higher res and same DR. Z8 has faster readout and burst. I shoot a lot of Landscapes now with a 24mp camera and would like some more detail. I also want to get into wildlife photography. Should I stick with my Z system or switch to Sony? I've used both in the past and prefer Nikon's color and menus. The recent news of Nikon falling down is also putting me off from investing more into the Z system. If you have a Z8 please give me your feedback!
