That is a given...these are primarily still cameras. But many many people use them for their video capabilities. Read more

Absolutely. I personally value low-light performance over resolution. It makes the camera more versatile, whereas as resolution is something most people wouldn't notice if they are engaged in what you are showing them. Read more

I meant more of in the DSLR territory, what you can get out of the video image while retaining the photo-centric features. Clearly they are able to make cameras that produce much better imagery, as we have seen with the C300. I am skeptical as you are, that they couldn't make a MUCH cheaper video camera that produces… Read more

I did use ALL-I codecs on both the 5D3 and 1DX. Read more

I would contend that you are taking this way too seriously, and that the kind of test you seek, with the level of absolute control across all cameras, is near impossible. You may not like my headline, but it was meant to point out that Zacuto's methodology in part 3 was ***FOR THE MOST PART*** objective as compared to… Read more

Dude, did you read the last sentence of my post? Of course it is the creativity of the individual that matters. The point of the headline was that the data they provided was objective, and you can draw conclusions from that. Read more

Interesting. I guess if you are on wet / dirty ground it makes sense. Read more

along those same lines, consider this... Read more

I think that it can still be vastly easier to carry around, even if it doesn't fit in your pocket. With a shoulder or wrist strap, you could carry the RX100 around without a separate case. Or just to fit in a small satchel or backpack pouch is super convenient. Read more

That's my bad. Hard to see that when shooting, and I couldn't re-shoot by the time I noticed it in post. Sorry! Read more

How specific is your game plan, in terms of where on Mars you want to explore prior to the landing of the Rover? And how likely are you to stick to that game plan once the Rover is actually on the ground encountering new things? Read more

do you compulsively follow news? if not, i agree, it can be hard to see the point. i didn't use twitter until i worked at gizmodo. Read more

Pilot Pen V5 For Life Read more

tiny wings, google maps, newsify Read more

yes, but there is still lag once you get a few letters in, in my experience thus far. Read more

if this feature were a little bit speedier, it would be useful. But the lag that occurs after inputting each letter is just too much to make it a fluid experience Read more
