Actually, the mac pro we used is over 4 years old! Early 2008. Read more

Seeing as how almost nobody has a display capable of viewing that resolution, we think it holds very little practical appeal. Read more

yes, you are correct about that. We will update the post. Read more

The current app is not compatible with the Hero3. GoPro says the software update allowing compatibility will arrive this winter. Read more

the built in timelapse feature yields stills up to 12 MP. Read more

But it has a built in time-lapse feature with stills up to 12 MP. Read more

What equipment do you take when venturing out into a situation like Sandy? Read more

Do you generally work by simply going out and shooting situations you think are news-worthy then selling the images to interested parties, or do you go on assignment as requested by a specific organization? Read more

The NEX-5N is definitely a great value right now because it has just been replaced by the 5R. It will exceed the image quality of the G15, but it is not nearly as compact, and if you aren't going to invest in lenses, it might not be worth the bulk. Read more

Of course, "shallow" is a loose term. Relative to compacts with slower lenses, you can achieve a shallower depth of field with the G15. Read more

haha, fair enough! the caveat is that those compact cameras with the better quality are going to be more expensive. Read more

if you have no experience with cameras but want really good image quality, maybe try the Sony RX100. It is expensive for a compact camera at around $600, but it really delivers top notch quality. Read more

The size of a lens aperture is generally referred to as the "speed" of the lens. The wider the maximum aperture setting, the "faster" the lens. Read more

I don't think 4k timelapse is pointless. I just think very very few users will actually do that. Read more

That just seems like a reeeally niche application of such a hyped feature. Read more

Fair point. The 2.7k would be useful for cropping. But I'm not trying to frame the 4K feature as a "problem." Merely as a marketing gimmick. Read more

I suppose. Maybe I just can't imagine using the stills for much that you would need 8 MP for. Read more

The low frame rate makes it pointless though. The 2.7K option at 3o fps is useful for what you are describing. Read more
