If the monitor characteristics were not changed between viewing the results of each camera, it doesn't matter if it is calibrated or not.
The monitor display is a constant in either case. It depends on what is sent to the monitor how it is displayed, i.e. the contents of the image file.

"Calibrated Monitor" is just one of various mantras chanted by the adherents of UHH Sacred Traditions. As with most pink noise, you must adjust to ignoring it, cuz it never really goes away.

Your definition of art is way too rigid. Of course "contracted photography" can produce art! If commissioned paintings can't be considered art the world's art collection would be a lot smaller.
The word "Art" is in the thread title, so this thread is cursed from its very outset by UHH Sacred Tradition as its practiced among The Usual Suspects.

Your project is doubley doomed, by both the infrastructure on hand and the attitude of the practitioner in charge. That is all.

I use hyper focal when I don't use the one third in rule. Now I wonder if it is good. It's always been good for me. Maybe it's only close.
Dont worry that "maybe its only close".
"Only close" is what DoF is all about.
Its about whats good enuf on either side of perfect. Despite formulae and CoC standards, "good enuf" is a subjective case-by-case call, and therefor a variable.

When this gets moved to the Gallery all this carrying on will cease and the kudos will flow like a burst dam.

Going to visit Martha's Vineyard. I am taking my small Canon 50mkll. Lens question, take the canon 50mm 1.8 lens with adapter for everywhere, everything? Or a wide angle, or a 18-150?
Thank for your help.
Thank for your help.

Insufficient budget and gear for great quality.
A home made light box and a close up dioptre lens could get you results suitable for smallish prints with the aid of some sharpening in PP.

Seems photography too, but, your logic is faulty.
This is the discussion area, not the Gallery.

Naming whatever brand swelled up does NOT "do everyone here a favor". Its meaningless. Fact is, schidt happens.
The only batteries I ever had swell up are the OEMs. My many Wasabies have never done it. But should I then "do everyone here a favor" and warn you all against OEM batteries ?!?
UHH has battery threads on a regular basis, heavily populated by phony experts, camera brand fanbois, and ignorant paranoids.
Markwilliam1 does not know how to write a reply that includes a quote.

I wonder if I should post the few hundred captures from my trips or while leaving abroad... On the same thread, of course.
That seems on-topic.
Theres two topics:
• Crowded clutter.
• Distant travel.

What does a camera have to have to be considered
one of the miraculous mirrorless ones CANON and others rave about? There are plenty of mirrorless digital cameras. My Lumix DMC FZ 1000 is mirrorless, so is my RX100 vii along with my Nikon A1000 but they are obviously not the ones the mirrorless crowd is all gaga about.

Its not so hard to figger out. You are already halfway there in knowing that those are NOT the ones. Then just consider their opposites, and the veil will be lifted.
