As a proud Nikon D4 owner, I thought I'd bring this thread back from the dead! I've owned a Nikon D4 since 2014 and despite now owning both a D850 and a Z8, the D4 still sees a lot of use when I am shooting events. The low light performance of the D4 still takes some beating thanks to the...

I bought a Nikon D850 from them a couple of years back. They were very good tbh - great communication and the camera was spot on. I would happily use them again.

Hehe. Totally agree that Apple's storage pricing takes the p***! The problem is that it's the internal SSD that does all the hard work and gives the machine the 'leg room' it needs. For future proofing the machine (well, as future proof as any machine can be), I would still recommend taking the...

Entry level Mac Mini M4 (non M4 Pro model) with 16GB is more than enough for the sort of application you're describing. The only upgrade I would suggest, however, is to go for the 512GB rather than 256GB model. Trust me - you'll thank me later! For the record, I have a number of Macs - an M1...

I have Photo AI, Denoise AI, Gigapixel and Sharpen AI. Personally I still prefer Denoise AI for noise reduction (or indeed Lightroom's own noise reduction feature which often works better!).

I've got a 16" M1 Pro MBP and a 14" M2 Max MBP and, to be honest, there's not a lot to separate them when it comes to photo editing. The high end Macs are really geared towards video work - ie. working with multiple streams of 4K/8K video footage. For us lowly photographers, you will find the...

Sadly this trick doesn't seem to work. At least for me. I have galleries that I have uploaded images to recently but other images within that gallery still seem to be stuck in archive. It's an absolute cluster f**k frankly. I won't be renewing Zenfolio.

I'm a bit confused here. Are you saying that the 20GB Cloud plan doesn't include the desktop version of Lightroom? If so, that's not true. I have the 20GB plan and it lets me run both Lightroom and the full desktop version, Lightroom Classic. To be honest, I only use Lightroom Classic. I also...

After many years of being a bit of a PC geek (I was the technical editor on a PC magazine for a couple of years), I switched to Mac in 2009 when Apple released the first generation of the 27" iMac using Intel processors. Using Bootcamp, you could side-load Windows onto them back then so I had...

Is it me or is there a definite decline in interest in DSLR lenses? I've recently put a couple of Nikon F-mount full frame lenses up for sale on here and I've been surprised how little interest there is in them. It's not the price or their desirability - fast AF-S lenses used to sell like hot...

Yeah, that's there to give the impression that they take copyright seriously. If they really gave a sh!t, they wouldn't be scraping photo sites for content in the first place - they KNOW what they're doing is wrong.

You're using Safari web browser by any chance? Try a different browser - that fixed it for me.

Been playing with the lens blur feature today funnily enough. Really impressed with it so far even if it did take a while to really get my head around it. Although it seems to struggle with hairs (and whiskers), it does provide a facility to modify the depth map by manually painting areas that...

If you need the power of a fully-fledged MacBook when travelling than I would seriously look at the MacBook Air (M1 or M2 - they're both very powerful!) - it's very, very portable and has a superb screen. It's also a full MacOS machine rather than an iPad so you can do considerably more with it...

Definitely a fault. Microsoft would be crucified by the courts in the EU for such uncompetitive behaviour - back in 2007, Microsoft was even forced to offer alternative web browsers when installing Windows to avoid massive fines from the EU...
