. Free at last, free at last. Got my X-Pro2 yesterday, the camera I've been waiting a year for. There is nothing the Canon 5D3 can do for me that this new Fuji cannot match or equal. AF is fast and accurate. The Fuji glass is easily the equivalent or better than Canon. I think the Fuji 56mm is...

Take it from me, that's how it begins. Next thing you notice your Canon hasn't been out in a while. Before long you're eyeing additional Fujinon lenses. And the Canon seems to have some dust on it. Then you start feeling guilty having all this good Canon stuff just sitting there. Take it from...

. Others will have different opinions. My opinion... This is none of your business.

. You may not like this, but the only thing in this thread worth a damn is what unfocused had to say. Portrait work is about connecting with people. If you can do that, you can do portraits. If you don't like people or aren't interested in them, give it up before you even try. Peter Hurley is...

. Easy... They subcontract the whole deal out to Staples. They'll produce a one-button camera, and every time you push the button it takes the picture and says, "That was easy."

. I am irresistibly drawn to the POV, and I want those images. Since I can't fly (or even pole vault) I can't imagine any other way to get such images. However... Like the early days of aviation, drones are fraught with problems, even misery. They are fragile. Like all aircraft, they have to...

. Sold: Canon Bought: Fujifilm, Nikon

. Well, Albert Schweitzer, the second coming -- and right here at CR. So, tell me about John Audubon, please. Most of his magnificent bird pictures were done from dead birds, most of which he shot, then posed using string and sticks to look lifelike back in his studio. He used his own personal...

. I think the "we" part is questionable, and tenuous at best. Given the state of this marketplace, there can't be more than a few buyers for such a "giant." A far too wealthy and vainglorious few I suspect.

. But what do his pictures look like??

. I'd think long and hard about selling off such a collection. You will work a long time to get back to that position relative to equipment. But, if you're selling everything and want to cover a 24-70 range, I'd simply go with this...

. While this talks about video sensors, it's the best science explanation I've seen of how camera sensors detect, record and transform light into image files... https://youtu.be/MytCfECfqWc

Your little fantasies are quite entertaining. But I watched the video (twice, to be sure) and saw no one offer anything approaching "anecdotal evidence" of anything. What I see is an interesting comment from someone in a camera retailing operation that operates nationally. He had not previously...

These are not hearsay reports. These folks run a large retail camera store. When they say people are bringing in equipment and selling it, they're reporting business fact. Also, I'm not aware of any reports published on used equipment sales/trades.

. For the most part, I've moved over to Fuji. But I am able to keep the Canon as a second system. When it's not a business you can afford some extravagance, I suppose. I still have my S95, and though I haven't taken 10 pictures with it this year, I can't see letting it go.

. Jordan & Chris at The Camera Store talking about the kind of year this has been. https://youtu.be/DtTPCAn6kU8 They see mirrorless making gains in that: "This is the first time that I've seen people in droves dumping Canon and Nikon, like LOYAL people..."

. Compared with recent years, there's not much really compelling. I got a good deal on a refurb lens, but such a sale tends to happen a few times a year; nothing special. This is surprising given the overall slump in photographic equipment sales. I expected the big companies to come out with...

. Let's hope for just such a thing!!

. Definitely a lower cost! Thanks for the heads up. I use this several times per month.
