It's regrettable that Nikon's in-body screw drive focus thing never survived. I swear it's the most reliable AF mechanism ever I've literally never seen a screw drive AF-D lens fail. I mean yes it's loud and that's regrettable but I like a lens that sounds like a turbine spinning up.

What's the deal with this camera, why does it have such a bad reputation? I was looking for a mirrorless body to adapt my vintage glass too and this really cheap. Is it worth it for adapting lenses?

>>4386052 I don't, I'm so used to the VF that I don't use the back screen on any cameras. No idea how much not using the rear screen affects the battery but if it makes a positive difference, then it's a win-win for me.

>>4386843 I do edit color photos. I also posted 2 photos in this thread already about to be 3. I felt posting an example of color grading photography and how awful it is would be effective. Here's a color photo I edited. It's an out of focus cat. I prefer shooting B&W. As the other anon in this thread said OP should be focusing on composition and I suggested using different shooting angles, lenses and post processing. His best photo is the sail boats. Color wouldn't have improved that photo and I find it rarely improves a photo. Unless the color of something is the subject of a photo composition > everything else.

>>4386865 the DoF here feels bizarrely unfortunate. Imagine how small of a difference in distance there was between the left and right eye, and yet look at the difference in focus. Seems like it would be fine had the eyes been in focus.

Just use it. Outdoors only. Use manual since these shitters ways have a narrow range of good looking apertures and ISOs. It can be hacked to shoot raw
https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/S5IS Any raw processor will create jpegs with better NR, sharpening, and demosaicing than the camera body. The jpegs are merely retro cool for gen Y furfags who have nostalgia for awful digishits.

I just upgraded from a D810 to a D850 and bros...worth every penny. Absolutely amazing camera, the fact I can turn it into a pseudo-D500 by shooting in DX crop is really neat. However, my old pirated Lightroom copy doesn't support D850 NEF files. Is it possible to pirate a newer version or should I finally bend the knee to Adobe?

My fear about buying new gear is the fact some tools do not recognize new RAW files in pirated software for Windows 8.1.
I say you should check around, D850 is 2017 IIRC so there should absolutely be a pirated something for it.

It’s very slight but I prefer the rendering of the Canon it has a bit more depth also in some images the Sony has onion bokeh. But 95% of photographers and their clients won’t notice or care.

Quoted By:
>>4386956 >It’s very slight It's somewhat considerable in context, good luck finding another zoom that steps on the Canon's heels but i think the one on the left is better, a tiny bit more sharp and punchier.
For the weight cut i think the Sony is a very considerable contender, this is a weddingfag lens and they are limp-wristed for some reason so it's a valid candidate, especially with the video specs Sony has with native lenses.
