  1. Upgrading to IPS display

    I would highly recommend a 1440p display, especially for photography.
  2. Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    What are your guys thoughts. 1.2V Vcore, 1.34 QPI, 1.86PLL volts. Safe voltages? I haven't been in the X58 OC seen for a while.
  3. Iris pro benchmarks are in, and........they're VERY GOOD

    40 watts is far and away too high for any ultrabook.
  4. Haswell-E Timing

    So, I'm running a big of an old processor -- it's fine, but frankly I'm stepping up my video and photo editing. I also do gaming so AMD is out of the question. I've done some googling but haven't found much conclusive. I'm looking to upgrade to a hexacore, but obviously haven't made a system...
  5. PC for video editing (Adobe Premiere Pro)

    Does anyone know the ETA of the next-gen Haswell hexacores?
  6. Lightest bright, decent mid-zoom on any system?

    Theoretically a F/4 FF zoom would give you a 'better' image since it gets shallower DoF and better high-ISO to compensate for the slower aperture. Tamron 24-70VC and a D800 would be about the same weight as any APS-C deal.
  7. DSLR with 1080 for around $1000?

    Canon is held as superior for video because of Magic Lantern, but that basically applies to studio and production work. For your average and even above average person looking to shoot video with a DSLR your best bets are with Sony for the in-body-IS and functional AF in video. Though really I...
  8. Is "degradation" real or a myth?

    Fair enough, but I'm curious what you run your specific cpu at, not what you feel the safe limit. My car 'can' go 120mph 'safely', and further than that 'unsafely', but what do I actually drive it at? As someone who doesn't work with circuits I'd be curious to hear what an expert would actually...
  9. Why does everyone overlook Sony?

    First claim seems preposterous. No real pros use anything but Hassy and P1. Second is false. The Sony 300/2.8 is a bit less than the Canon/Nikon versions.
  10. Why does everyone overlook Sony?

    Biggest issue for me is the Sony-hotshoe and inability to flip up the mirror for even single shots on their SLTs. Ideally I would like to use it as a mirrorless with MF lenses anyway. It's especially lame for astro/landscape where you know it's eating IQ without any benefits.
  11. Is IntEl's 22nm and ivy bridge a colossal failure?

    IB was always pretty centered about getting die sizes down for Intel. I think they've done great with that. They get to test Tri-grate en masse and get to retake any claims AMD may have had for graphics performance, all while reducing the cost of product/expanding 22nm production. Why would...
  12. Canon has trouble implementing IS with large lens elements?

    Sounding like Sony/Pentax shooters, rationalizing IS as a useful feature just because you don't have to pay a premium for it.
  13. Leaked Nikon D800 Pictures & Specs

    They use Sony sensors with Nikon CFAs on top. That's one of the big reasons Nikon has such better ISO performance while Sony has such higher metamerism (color response and accuracy). Sony uses nearly 100% opaque color filters, while Nikons are closer to 60%, letting in more photons even if...
  14. Younger brother wants a Canon T2i for Christmas, how can we tell if he's 'ready'?

    20 in college. Clearly he would be fine with a 700$ camera. Consider buying used through the Canon Loyalty Program to save more.
  15. My God, What's up with Sony???

    1. What sample raws are you looking at? From the ones I've been playing with setting the "lum" NR value to 0 produces images with good detail but noise at high-ISO. Easily besting the 7D and close to par with the D7K. With some NR you can get great 6400 exposures with little shadow banding or...
  16. My God, What's up with Sony???

    1. Those shots are underexposed jpegs off of early firmware. Sony does this with every new camera release and everyone goes "WTF". 2. Sony cameras don't have superb high-ISO. They have an SLT eating ~1/2 stop of light, they have the least effective in-camera NR, and their CFA is almost 50% more...
  17. Sneak peak at FX-8150 with SuperPi & wPrime

    I think I could do it. Issue is that it's been the same program for years, and changing it would no longer make it a good measure of legacy X87 performance.
  18. first time looking for a dslr; suggestion.

    The other two points? Video and a tripod?
  19. first time looking for a dslr; suggestion.

    Canon T3 is teh sux. No really. It's a terrible value. What are you looking to shoot? Is video an important feature? Do you have a tripod?
  20. SDXC UHS-I, UHS-II, what's the deal?

    The 60D's video bitrate is ~45Mb/second. With Magic Lantern most people report they can do 1.3x CBR and not get video stopping from buffer overflow. So, I imagine the controller can move ~60Mb/second onto a card.
  21. 50mm f/1.4 vs 50mm f/1.2L Is the cost worth it? | Bought the Sigma 50mm f/1.4

    50L is weathersealed. 85L is not. Only with a 1D* body though.
  22. 50mm f/1.4 vs 50mm f/1.2L Is the cost worth it? | Bought the Sigma 50mm f/1.4

    It's just plasticky, stupidly outdated with AF, has terrible contrast and colors, has gross overcorrected-SA induced fringy-pentagonal out of focus specular highlights and busy dual-lined bokeh. It's actually in the top 10 sharpest of Canon's lenses. It just sucks. The perfect argument against...
  23. Upcoming cameras. This is exciting.

    The comment was about APS-C reaching limits, which is something Sony (not nikon, they don't make sensors anymore) quite clearly disproves with the D7K.
  24. You ever get the itch to buy a lens, but not sure which one?

    Actually one of the best 50s ever made.
  25. High-end Party Camera

    with a hotshoe. Get a set of radio poppers, position flashes (2-3) to bounce off the ceiling to get soft/diffuse light.
  26. Fudzilla: Bulldozer performance figures are in

    ? K-5 is a competitor for the 7D and D7000, though admittedly it's better than the 7D by a significant margin. Not 100% sure where this analogy ends as Pentax is incredibly innovative with a long history of success and AMD.... doesn't appear to be that way.
  27. Phase One Medium Format

    There's issues with microlense-CA and blown highlights (not to mention color depth and balance, color bloom, moire/AA filters), as well as microdetail falloff that still give large format film the advantage for landscape and high-end portraiture. Digital has no detail past pixel-pitch, has no...
  28. Phase One Medium Format

    You can get older ~20-30 megapixel backs, an old technical camera, and a few lenses for the price of a full-frame DSLR from any major manufacturer. Won't give you that smoking high-ISO performance, but medium format is a whole new world with image quality and enlargements. I've shot full...
  29. Thinking of making a brand switch, Canon to Pentax

    Well, normally I say switching systems is a very bad idea, but you have very clear wants for an upgrade, and a newer body would give you that. Pentax is a solid option nowadays, with weathersealing and in-body IS as big features on all of their bodies.
  30. Us equipment junkies can learn a lesson from Lara Jade...

    I hate her post processing. Nice makeup and clothing direction though.
  31. is the mirror in the DSLR there just so that you can use the viewfinder?

    It's one of them. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, and you could probably find articles and articles about it from the forum drama that came up when camera makers introduced live-view for DSLRs.
  32. I think I want to swtich from Pentax to Nikon

    I think the big thing with Pentax is their servo tracking -- it's not as fast as Canon's. It is accurate though, especially for screw-drive lenses. Granted, a good deal of it depends on the lens.
  33. Entry-level DSLR options .. seeking advice

    Well, 600$ is moderately limiting when it comes to getting both camera and glass, and I presume Lightroom, SD cards, a bag, and tripod as well. Those aren't the cameras to be looking for. Xsi, T2i, 40D from the Canon Loyalty Program 1D Mark II used locally D3100, D5100 from Nikon K-x from...
  34. What's a great cheap replacement for the ole 5D?

    The only crop sensors with technical performance better than the 5D are the 1D series from Canon (thousands) or the D7000/D5100/K-5/Sony A550 which all use the same 16.2MP sony sensor. Definitely not available for 500$, and even then you can't get around the advantages with DoF that larger...
  35. T3i vs T2i

    Yongnuo has a lot of models. Make sure the specific one you're getting has ETTL, as they have several meant to be used via poppers only. The YN468 is the 430EXII equivalent, and can be had for ~100$. The 565 is the 580EXII equivalent.
  36. Digital camera with excellent low-light performance under $500?

    Of course, the K100D has an 8x larger sensor for narrow DoF and better high-ISO performance. DXomark rates the S95 as capable of 'good' image quality to ISO 150, whereas the K100D goes to ~700, or 4x better. I would personally go try to get a K-x and SMC Tak 50/1.4 (which is one of my favorite...
  37. total noob

    Don't don't don't get the T3, it's a terrible value. For the same money you can get a 40D (if video capability isn't important, it's much more capable), a T2i from the canon loyalty program (which isn't as capable as the 40D, but has all the modern trimmings like 1080p movie mode). Snapsort is...
  38. I think I want to swtich from Pentax to Nikon

    I think they do for ISO 3200 and above. Pentax does some proprietary processing, which is part of the reason why they get better DR and color out of the same sensor as the D7000. There was a thread about it over at Pentax forums a month or two ago, and the consensus was that the impact in image...
  39. I think I want to swtich from Pentax to Nikon

    That's an issue with shooting Jpeg. As for your lens problem, have you looked at any of Pentax's older K-mount glass (I don't know if your current body supports screw drive focusing)? It's all fully compatible (again, assuming screw drive) along with in-body IS stretching back like 25+ years...
