That's a good question, infinity shifts on many lenses when you close the aperture. Long story short, adjust infinity to the fstop you will be usually using at infinity shots.

32bit raw, you can film a nebula and catch a nuclear explosion on the same frame.

Canon profits down 16% as demand for old-style DSLRs continues to slide
Nikkor replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Usually you would buy a rebel, now you buy an olympus om-d, this is true in my surroundings. -
It's not canon or sony color, it's adobe color science. I don't have an A7R, but the d800 has nice color when compared to canon (in PS). The d3 had very muted color but I tricked PS into using the d800 profile and the muted yellowish thing kinda got away. It's raw after all.

The price is not going to stay low, specially if you keep posting the link on forums Anyway, with the kowa and the slr rangefinder around ,who knows how high bidding on a compromised iscorama will end.

The f number is the relation between the size of the aperture and focal length, it measures light density so to speak. A 2.8 will always have the same brightness because it doesn't care about the sensor that's behind it, but when the sensor is bigger it recollects more light because density*area=amount of light. The amount of light is the signal,the information. A bigger sensor area recieves more light so the signal is stronger. The sensor is the measuring device, a perfect measuring device doesn't have noise, but these devices don't exist. The bigger the signal is the less you will have problems with these imperfections, because the information is much bigger than the noise (the imperfections in measuring). If we take a whole picture as measuring unit, we take the same picture on one full frame camera and on a 1" camera it will have the same exposure parameters (same speed, same iso, same aperture) so it will have the same exposure,but the small sensor will have to be better, more efficient, to have the same amount of noise. The DOF will be different. I don't know how efficient the sony sensor is, but I can imagine it will be ok up to iso 1600. And shallow DOF is not the thing you are looking for when buying a RX10ii.

And what about the pinkish skin and the crushed blacks. Bobama looks southeast asian.

This deserves an article. I've been staying at my parents for the summer and they have german television over satellite. I haven't watched TV for years and I was shocked by the fact that every documental is now a shallow dof hell shot wih the 24 1.4 full open all the time. Also watching the "tatort" after many years and it looks awful. Not because of DOF but because the new generation of camera operators and editors don't seem to know what they are doing. You will say, german television, but if you see older stuff shot on film it's much more professional.

http://youtu.be/cizgVZ8rjKA Google algorythm that interpolates images between two frames (it's more than that), pretty amazing. http://www.popsci.com/putting-googles-famously-trippy-deep-network-work

Don't save on filters, cheap filters can be very bad.

Sony A7S M2 - what features and specs are likely
Nikkor replied to photographer-at-large's topic in Cameras
A7sII with raw and low rollingshutter would be the definitive camera for me (although I prefer to not having to use an external recorder), lets dream -
Download some files and try to work with them because ML Raw and Slog2 are worlds apart.

That chivo must be retarded running around with that gigantic camera and lenses when he could be using a dragon 6k or an Alexa mini.
-
The widest you could get is with a 19mm fisheye they used in the master.
-
To me it looks like 28-35mm. The widescreen aspect ratio always fools me so it could be 24mm. After watching it again I guess rich is right about 40mm

Sony A7S M2 - what features and specs are likely
Nikkor replied to photographer-at-large's topic in Cameras
I hope they keep the big pixels (12mp) and use BSI, 10bit 4K would be nice but I guess it's not going to happen. 12mp and fast readout could open a lot of possibilities, but... it's sony so -
Do you really enjoy the canon pinkness?

Almost ready to go for the A7R II -- some questions
Nikkor replied to manueldomes's topic in Cameras
The interesting thing about BSI is the capacity to capture more rays, specially those from bright and/or wideangle lenses designed for film (simetrical wideangles from leica,but also retrofocus lenses that were great on film but bad on digital). -
Almost ready to go for the A7R II -- some questions

A user on dvxuser.net made the test, its a little bit faster than the 5d mkiii. -

Rolling shutter is better in FF. -
At least fullframe is fast, the fastest 4K or fullframe available. 19.9ms

Another sony let down, A7s wowowow -> no internal 4K terrible rollongshutter, A7ii 5axis IBIS -> sucks ballz and now the incredible megasampled s35 wobble mode on the A7rii.
