I have never had a problem with the computer's card readers. Maybe it is a problem with how the card is handled. The external readers are not a good solution if you think the drivers for the internal readers are at fault because the same drivers are used.
I can't agree with your statement that the same drivers are used. On my laptop the internal card reader uses a Realtek PCIE card reader driver. If you use an external USB reader it uses the Microsoft USB mass storage device driver. There are lots of issues with the internal card reader when updating to Win 10. Need to checks your facts..

I am with you on that. It is such a nice subtle sharpening

The SD card readers in the computer are always a crap shoot. Problems with some not supporting both SD and SDHC and different drivers on Windows updates, etc. Just buy a USB card reader and your worries will be over.

I agree. I think this high pass filter produces the nicest sharpening. Depending on the file resolution you can increase the radius up to about 7 to 9- look for halos in the small image and back it down so there is no color. You can also try soft light blending mode

The FIELD OFF VIEW equals that of a 96mm lens. But not because of greater magnification. It's because a crop-sensor is cropping, or THROWING AWAY, some of what the lens is transmitting to it.
That's enough of this. I'm tired of explaining it.

Well put. Some people have difficulty getting their head around around it. Maybe this shows better how a smaller sensor only captures a part of the scene and "discards" the rest of the available image.

Point well taken and I love the cattle image. As a bird photographer, the second one is not my personal cup of tea but has nice composition. Shows how we all see things through different eyes.

Vision will always trump technology. Fantastic and memorable images were being made long before the advent of high end glass and high count megapixel bodies. I still shoot film exclusively. I have yet to have a client or publisher complain about the quality of my images. Our work is different and unique because of our different and unique vision.

Composition always trumps tack sharpness. With that said, if you can nail both of these, I think it makes an even better picture. This forum probably concentrates on the sharpness portion of the picture more, because that's much easier to address in this online format. That's where the discussion of equipment comes into play where people share what works for them in taking sharper images.
Equipment selection does have some impact on composition because of different aspect ratios such as 3:2, 4:3, 1:1 etc.
I shoot film for black and white pictures and digital for color pictures. Just my own preference where I like the black and white tonality and the associated grain for that classic look.

Anna has every right to be angry. What is going on here with the rude behavior? I see someone asking a very legitimate question. And then come out the jerks making fun of spelling and other things. As I go through this tread, I see many considerate replies. But the behavior of others is totally unacceptable. I'm mad too!
I agree too. There is no need to have anyone take abuse on something that is irrelevant to UGG photography. Maybe someone should start an UGGly forum do people can just go ahead and abuse anyone they want, leave the UGG forum for real posts.

You can buy referbs. direct from Canon that will kook like new. Has manufacturers warranty too.
Also KEH may have a real nice used lens. If you buy an EF 400 MM lens for your crop sensor camera
it would be like a 600 MM lens. If you buy a EF-S 400 MM lens it will be 400 MM on your crop censor camera.

Sorry. Was referring to Canon 100-400 L series ii
Nov 16, 2018 12:05:02 #
Yes just make sure it's a series ii and not series I. A big improvement in image quality on series ii
Nov 16, 2018 11:07:50 #
If you go for the 400L fixed, there is no IS so you will need to increase ISO and your camera model is not good for higher ISO. I would strongly recommend the Canon 100-400 ii. It will last you forever and if you upgrade cameras later, you will already have premium quality glass.

If a lot of your events are indoors in poor lighting, you might want to consider a used 5Diii. The controls are the same so there is no learning curve or brain farts switching between cameras. It also gives the ability to get a wider field of view with the same EF lenses

I have the 500 F4 ii and it works good with the 1.4x but not so great with the 2x. Both are series iii. The 300 F2.8ii seems to work good with the 2X iii. Varies between lenses and extenders and cameras. That's why you need a program like reikan to get real performance numbers out instead of a few subjective shots that some people use

It stores a separate MFA for the lens with the extender so you need to calibrate it with and without the extender
