Why are there no digital cameras with ultra-bright integrated lenses, like f1.0, f1.2 or even f1.4? I don't think the lack of fast EF-S lenses is significant: the main advantage of EF-S lenses is the ease of making wide-angle lenses as the rear element of the lens can be closer to the sensor. A hypothetical EF-S 85mm f/1.2 (or similar) would be pretty much the same size as the existing EF 85mm f/1.2 as it's the front element which matters, not the stuff at the back. |

How to deal with large exposure shifts during time lapse? Questions on Stack Exchange are best if they ask just one thing at a time - this is generally quite good in that it's about timelapse, but the last bit about Photoshop would be better as a separate question (which may have be asked already; I haven't checked). Would it be possible for you to split it into two? |

Good beginner camera for sports And how close are you going to be to the horses? |

How do I choose between a Canon 1100D or 700D when I'm overwhelmed by info? Would it be possible for you to rephrase your question to make it less specific to right now? Any answers you get probably aren't going to be very useful to readers of the site in a few years, when neither the 1100D nor the 700D are available any more. |

upgrading from kit lens In general, superzoom lenses (18-200 etc) will be less sharp than the kit lens - they're produced to the same quality standards, but the additional compromises required for the larger zoom range require sacrifices elsewhere. |

Can I save the JPEG preview image that's generated in-camera when I shoot in RAW-only mode? Technically, this is completely possible - the JPEG preview is embedded in the RAW file, so it's just a matter of getting the right bits out. I don't have any particular software recommendations for doing this though (which is why this is a comment, not an answer). |

What are the differences between a bridge camera and a D/SLR? You can get far bigger lenses for an SLR than you'll ever see on a bridge camera :-) |

What difference do longer exposures such as 30s and 8s make to a photograph? Neither is "best". Different shutter speeds have different uses. |

How to reduce size of a jpeg image in Photoshop? I considered that as a possibility, but that seemed insane. Why would anyone have a 10 *k*B restriction for making a 5"x3.6" print (this is essentially @mattdm's point comment on the question). |

Are images taken with newer DSLRs sharper than those taken with old ones? Related to @dpollitt's point 2: how are you focusing - auto or manual? It's possible that your Tamron is significantly front/back focusing on your 30D. Do you have any test shots you can post? |

Are images taken with newer DSLRs sharper than those taken with old ones? Are you shooting RAW (and if so, what's your workflow) or JPEG? |

Is “Ultrapixels” just marketing or is there a real benefit? @Beltrame The 4 MP sensor will (hopefully) be cheaper, have lower power consumption and quicker read-out times than the 8 MP sensor. All of those are real benefits to consumers. |

Is “Ultrapixels” just marketing or is there a real benefit? The important statement from the HTC One review is the last one: "It will also require real demonstrable benefits to consumers in use cases that matter to them." |

Is “Ultrapixels” just marketing or is there a real benefit? What I'm really saying is that you need to consider the whole package, not just the sensor. |

Why don't most cameras store filenames based on date and time? I think the second paragraph here is the important one: the standard specifies <3 letters>_<4 numbers>, and date and time don't fit into that. |

How can lenses with different focal lengths have the same angle of view? Because the maths works; 15 * 1.6 (crop factor for Canon APS-C) = 24 :-) Alternatively, because an EF-S lens can be used only on an APS-C camera. |

How can I fix an out-of-focus blurred photo in Photoshop? Related, if not an exact duplicate: Is it possible to re-focus (recover) an intentionally blurred image? |

Will a Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G IF-ED VR lens work on my Sony A900? But the OP said that they didn't want to use an adapter, and they may well quite like having aperture control and autofocus as well. |

What “all rounder” travel lenses can help me decide between Sony, Nikon, or Panasonic Micro Four Thirds? Could you confirm whether you are the seller of the items you've linked to? |

Which lens is better: Canon 70-300mm 4-5.6 or 50-200mm? As per @theSuda's answer, could you be more specific about which 50-200 lens you are referring to? |
