Real portability? Nikon and Pentax are working on it

Why not using a manually focussed camera instead --- that way you get a real, reactive, well-tuned focussing ring as well. In other news: you can post by pressing the necessary buttons with your nose, if your hands are unable to move. (I still prefer using fingers and a good AF) I haven't noticed any professional wildlife shooters working with superzooms, either. I suppose they COULD all be deluded; but my Professional wildlife shooters make up such a tiny proportion of DSLR users that they are almost irrelevant. How many professional wildlife shooters are superzoom users? How many use DSLRs? :-) And as I have said before, our biggest single source of complaints at the minilabs is from DSLR and mirrorless CSC users who have produced out of focus images, What, CDAF being OOF? How comes? After all, superzooms and P&S use CDAF too ... then try to blame our minilab operators. We only very rarely get that complaint from P&S and superzoom users. Since they have everything in focus all the time anyway. :-) There's a moral in that, and it is not that everyone needs a DSLR. ;-) Show me the P&S that focusses accurately and fast at LV 3 and produces mostly clean, printable images (20x30cm or larger) at effective ISO 6400-12800, can work with multiple off-camera flashes (which are to be remote controlled in power, if possible with a flash automatic too), produces a shallow DOF if asked (like, say, a 50mm f/2 or faster on a crop-DSLR), shoots RAW, and has a f/2.8 or faster lens (if not, you need to up the ISO above by the necessary amount). :-) -Wolfgang |
