How about providing facts and arguments instead of abuse, tdekany?

And how about listing all your sockpuppets? How many UserIDs
do you have on UHH?

I haven't said anything that required an image. Unlike you, I only post
images when they are relevant and necessary.

Please stop your abuse of this forum.


If anyone is abusive it is you. Just read your last couple of posts to wross and userID. Most of your posts are condescending to most people.

And you haven’t posted a single photo that you took. All you do is make excuses for not posting. Based on your posts, you obviously have digital cameras, so what is the real reason for not posting one?? Is it because you are no better than a snapshot shooter??

Okay, thanks I will take a look. I purchased my gimbal from him.


I think he is 6’7”

I take pictures. There is nothing artistic about taking pictures. Some are good, some are bad. They are pictures not works of art. Regardless of who takes them.


Just because you lack the talent, doesn’t mean that those do, don’t produce work of art.

It isn’t a good way to justify not having talent. I mean you can tell it to yourself, but speaking out loud makes you look extremely ignorant of photography. And on top of that, you live in NYC? Cheese and rice!!!

Perhaps you would be good enough to post the images. (IOW ???)


The first eagle image I posted is done with the 2x digital converter.

Great Eagle shots.
I took your advice and starting with the EM-10 ll.
I think the 300mm Oly is next with a 1.4x

It doesn't, huh, Tom … not like the one employed by Olympus, in their new E-M1X and in the E-M1 II ???

So, then - the Sony a9 has a better employment of the electronic shutter than Olympus's more recent effort?


I’m not sure about the em1x, haven’t read anything about the electronic shutter yet. It will be interesting to see how it will perform, since this camera supposed to be a sport camera.

On the other hand you can still use the electronic shutter for moving subjects, but you will have issues with humming birds. 😂

Here is one without the converter, but cropped a lot. This photo is 7.3mp

Almost the answer there.

You are NOT getting full resolution.
You are getting the cropped format
resolution in terms of the level of
detail rendered. What you get the
"fullness" of is the original MP count.
This is well worth having in terms of
tonal transitions and less pixelation
on close viewing or large prints.

So you DON'T get the full MP count
detail-wise, but you do get the full
MP count pixelation-wise. Camera FW
extrapolates the "lost pixels" and fills
in with new ones.

I believe this is only time I have ever used the 2x digital converter. I just wanted to fill the frame for once without cropping. Em1 with my 40-150mm 2.8 + mc1.4. 210mm x2 = 420mm but 840mm FOV.

If I recall, the Sony A9’s electronic shutter doesn’t suffer from rolling.

I don't know why some people persist in calling this feature a "digital converter" when all this camera is doing is cropping to the middle of the sensor.


But you are still getting a full resolution file, in this case a 16mp shot.

Sorry User ID but I don't know why you have to be offensive.
There are now two things I don't understand.
One is why you think I need reading glasses to read the post from chapjohn that you quote when I was being curious as to why kenArchi had posted the image of the parrot, and secondly I am still curious as to why kenArchi posted an image of a parrot.


To show the quality of the 2x digital converter.

NOT so my friend!


I was quoting the angry photographer, to Bipod as Bipod claimed that we couldn’t find anything incorrect about the angry photographers’s claims. That claim is 100% wrong.

I know of no other camera that behaves in exactly that fashion. However, I do know
of many cameras that take good pictures without unnecessary complexity, and that are

I'm glad that the E-MIX camera worked for you on that day, with that scene. However,
it proves nothing.

So you are repeating an advertising claim,. Thank you for admitting it. Well,
if you can't trust corporate advertising, what can you trust?

VW says its cars have "farfegnugen". I admit: I don't know what"farfegnugen" means--
but then, I don't use the word. (And VW admitted lying to the US EPA about it's
light diesel truck's emissions, and in a court settlement agreed to set up a $2.7 billion
mitigation trust fund. So much for corporate integrity.)

Before you use a buzzword like "AI", you might want to find out the defintion--
if there is one. If there isn't, or if it's extremely vague or not really relevant to
photography, then you might to avoid using the term.

As it happens, there is no rigorous definition for "intelligence". So "artificial
intelligence" is undefinable. The term used to be used informally for research
into machine learning, but now it's become an advertising buzzword and a staple
of TV sci-fi (you know, like "warp drive").

Does the E-MIX also have a warp drive?

Warp drives and AI belong to fiction, but automation is real -- and it's limitations are
well-known. So the the relevant questions are: does one undrestand it's limitations?
And what's plan B when it fails to work?

We've all seen AF and AE fail. For example, if Program Mode fails to get the exposure
you want, you could try AP or SP. If that still doesn't work, you can add exposure
compensation. If you're still not getting what you want, there's manual mode.

Many photographers understand exopsure well enough to guess why a particular mode
failed to give the expected result. . But very few photographers understand AF, and nobody
understands "AI"--because it's just a buzzword.

Moreover, nobody understands any secret, proprietary algorithms except the guy who
wrote the code. And very often programammers try to implement a well-known
algorithm (some from Donald Knuth's books, say) and don't get it quite right. Complex
code is a real pain-in-the-assets.

Bottom line: photography isn't about automation--it's about control. Cameras are a tool.
And lke any tool, the user needs to understand how it works (including it's limitaitons)
and needs to control it.

Lots of noise.

How about you posting a picture that you took? After all, this is a photography forum, and the end result is the only thing that matters, which is a photograph. How about it mister?

Or are you here only to shill for film cameras?
