Which cameras support DNG natively? That's not true of the D-Lux models, which obviously use Panasonic's raw format. |

How do I find the right size of filters for a lens? @JohnBubriski: Yes, and the same thing applies to filter + step-up ring combos. However, it's generally only an issue with wide angle lenses. Roughly 24mm and wider, I'd say. With a really wide angle lens, you may have to be careful to get un-stackable filters, the sort that only let you put a single filter on the lens at a time, because the extra set of threads can cause vignetting! |

How to bulk convert Lossless DNGs to Lossy DNG outside Lightroom? You can probably fix the metadata conflicts by saying Cmd/Ctrl-S on all the photos you want to convert first. That forces LR's copy of the metadata to overwrite the XMP in the DNG files. |

Lightroom plugin development — is it worth it? It isn't Lightroom-specific, like you seem to be wanting, but you may want to look into SQLite Manager. It runs inside Firefox as an add-on, and lets you manipulate any SQLite database, not just the ones Firefox itself maintains. |

Does long exposure mean more details in landscape photos? If not, then how to take sharp landscape photos? Rebel T2 example -> Rebel XS (T2 is a film camera!); changed "f/" to "ƒ/" |

Why are high-end compacts still shipping without GPS? The problem with the camera strap argument is that camera manufacturers are not in any special position to create great camera straps. It's a level playing field. GPS, though, is something that works best at capture time, and that's the camera manufacturer's sandbox. It would be different if there were a common hardware interface a third party could plug into, so you'd see Sigma, Yongnuo and the like all competing with (say) Canon to provide external GPS modules. Lacking that, we have to either hope for internal GPS or cope with the current external GPS hackery. |

Why are high-end compacts still shipping without GPS? @Imre: Not really a duplicate. My question is restricted to high-end compacts, and also has the time component. To my mind, this question changes with time, because we're supposed to be getting more features with time. It could be re-asked next year, and the answer might be different then. (Maybe this WiFi link to GPS-capable smartphone issue will be settled by then, for example.) |
