Of course. It happens in almost all countries with high tariffs. Tourists and frequent travelers will carry cameras without the box and sell for 10% profit, which will be still cheaper than retail with box and warranties that gonna be 30% more expensive.

I think the priority is to not design lenses like this. This is Canon RF 24mm f1.4 distortion before in camera correction, tested by Chris Frost. They're basically making fisheyes at this point. If your lens needs this much correction in post, you gonna just waste those 12k pixels, at least at...

AF motors are designed with four compromises in mind: how fast it should move, how smooth it should move, how quiet it needs to be, and how much glass weight it should handle (there could be also a 5th, that how to put that motor with required specs in the lens barrel without makinging it too...

Well they didn't let anybody make AF full frame lens for RF, so licensing is not always their preference.

I didn't know there is X mount to Z mount adapter with AF! So it possible to use Fuji's APSC lenses on Komodo X, with auto focus! Z versatility is ridiculous 😄

"best" is of course subjective. I personally consider 1. Hardware/Software support for the codec 2. The time it takes to encode 3. The quality of the artifacts. x264 is still at the top for all three, even the third one, since it preserves grain/noise better. Sometimes x265 makes my ISO 6400...

1. Its algorithms are computationally expensive 2. There is uncertainty about it's future legal status 3. AV industry is resistant to change, unless they see a massive improvement with minimal cost 4. Up to 1080p, x264 is still the best. New codecs show improvement in higher resolutions, but...

Even if its physically doable, nobody dares to challenge Canon's lawyers. https://www.dpreview.com/news/3875526045/viltrox-representative-reports-canon-told-them-to-stop-selling-all-rf-mount-products

I wonder how the AF works, since we don't know how well Nikon's algorithm is compatible with the phase detection tech used in Raptor sensor.

BTW, Jack Hogan has a good article about why Nikon Z7 images "looks" so sharp without having crazy high resolution (spoiler: the fill factor is around 78%). https://www.strollswithmydog.com/nikon-z7-insane-sharpness/ Bookmark his weblog, its a gold mine, trust me. Since Z7 is mostly for...

Here is the full well capacity of A9iii pixel and its read noise: (You can check all still cameras on Bill Claff website: https://www.photonstophotos.net/Charts/RN_e.htm) FWC is 37313 electrons. Now let's see another full frame sensor with the same number of pixels, Zf: Its 82,262. So global...

Pixel fill factor and the size of the microlens plays a big role in that. When microlens is smaller than the pixel itself, or the sensitive part of the pixel is smaller than the overall pixel size, you get an image roughly resembling a line skipped video that very common in mirrorles cameras (to...
