Questions to ask when using a professional printing service Consider checking out one of the many pro labs that make actual photographic prints and not inkjet prints. |

Are cropped images from a full-frame sensor equal quality to full APS-C images despite the lower resolution? @RussellMcMahon: Standards are wonderful because there are so many to choose from. I find it's better to make the best of whatever you're shooting with and not worry so much about what's on the spec sheets. |

Opening Unsupported RAW Files @Omne: You use software that just edits the EXIF and doesn't care what's in it. I did mine on the command line using ExifTool. |

Cameras that can be used in the rain? You should consult the manuals for whatever you're buying. Weather sealed or not, I'd still make sure it was covered, because operating the controls is a lot easier when they're not sopping wet. |

Cameras that can be used in the rain? There are some truly excellent rain covers out there for DSLRs that are worth their weight and minimize the amount of drying you have to do after you've come back in from the weather. Is there a reason accessories are off the table? |

If landscape photography is my focus, does it make sense to use Nikon over Canon? You might find that investing in some ND and gradient ND filters can help solve a lot of the dynamic range problems that landscapes pose. |

Why are high-end compacts still shipping without GPS? @jrista: The expense isn't just in the cost of the GPS hardware, it's in the non-recurring engineering it takes to add it to the camera. The hardware in any camera you're going to want to carry is so tightly integrated that plopping an additional component into the design is a major effort. GPS is happening on some new cameras because it's become available pre-integrated on new versions of the processor being used by the manufacturer. |

What is the proper composition when shooting two persons standing by each another? Now that I think about it, if my goal were to get only the couple, I'd compose it vertically. Then you can follow the rule of thirds all you like. Losing the fence and the barn would really rob the image of a lot of context. |

Can Nikon FX (full-frame) users use DX (APS-C) lenses? ...and sometimes the crop out of the center is more than enough to provide a usable image. |

What is the proper composition when shooting two persons standing by each another? Your sketches are missing a critical background element: the fence. The fence draws your eye into the right two thirds of the picture, which is essentially square. |

Which impacts the speed of focusing more, the lens or the camera body? @jrista: The question the OP asked was which part contributes more to focusing speed. The biggest consumer of time in AF is moving the optics, which has been the case since since the first time I laid hands on an AF body (Minolta Maxxum, mid 1980s) and still is. Micro adjustment is entirely irrelevant; it's there so the end user can force the firmware to apply an offset to correct for a consistently-wrong solution. That's a manual adjustment in my book and doesn't change the system's speed or accuracy. |
