    Please show me samples why full frame is better than crop? Take the challenge

    Sorry to be a PITA, but perhaps the easiest way to help me understand is by you showing me a comparison of the same object in full frame vs crop, and why it is better. Again, I am not trying to stir up anything here- I just am curious as to why many people say that full frame is better. I do...

    Why does a 3 megapixel and 14 megagapixel photos look the same?

    Hello, I am trying to choose my next camera to buy. I am trying to choose between a d800, d610, sony a7 and em1. However, I cannot see the difference between the two photos below-one is 3 megapixels and one is 14 megapixels. I am not trying to stir or troll- I am simply trying to understand the...

    Can you tell which one is crop or full frame?

    I cannot. Even when I zoom in I do not see any difference. Is full frame really that more detailed? If it is, I cannot see it. One is f4 at 1/60 and the other is f4.5 at 1/80. D7000 and Sony a7 D7000 with sigma 15mm 2.8 fisheye. Sony a7 with 28-70mm kit lens. Adam

    sony a7 or olympus OMD?

    Hello, Does anyone have experience with these two cameras? I have read good things about both and was wondering about low light. I realize the a7 is full frame and has good ISO, but apparently this is evened out as the OMD has top line body stabilization which allows hand held shots at 1/10 of...

    Are there any reasons why I should buy D610 or D800 instead of Sony A7?

    Hello, I have a D7000 and one Sigma 15mm fisheye lens. I am going to either stick with Nikon and buy D800 or D610 and a couple of good lenses or switch over to Sony A7. I want to get into full size sensors. Also, I don't have too much invested in Nikon at this stage. I was also waiting to see...

    Is the 18-35mm D not as good as the 18-35mm G?

    That is what I have read but I compared the two in a store the other day and the fell is similar. I cannot speak for the optics though. I am interested in the D because of the used price-pretty cheap; however, the G is cheap too though even new at $750. Has anyone used both? Thank you, Adam

    I just ordered a SB-700 for Christmas. Anything I should know?

    Looked at the cheaper ones like a sb400 and Yongnuo too but decided I wanted the "nikon" on the front. I have bought third party stuff before and always seem to be buying again to replace it. Paid $320 for a new SB700 and am excited. It will last for years and years which is why I went for it. Adam

    is there anyone who prefers 50mm 1.8D over 1.4D and 1.8G?

    I am trying to decide a prime lens. Watched heaps of reviews. I love the look of the 1.8D and 1.8G;however, am aware the 1.8G is a very good lens too. Is there anyone who is old school and likes the older design better? May I ask why or why not? Adam D7000

    Photo of my equipment attached. What do you think I am lacking? Advice wanted.

    Hello. This is my gear. What do I lack that I should have? Fact: I am here for the long run and committed to Nikon Fact: I have heaps of access to reasonable quality used lenses and gear here in Osaka, Japan. Example, the 80-200mm f4.5 in the photo cost me $15, and the 75-300mm cost...
