Unless she intends to print 20" x 30" or larger, she doesn't need to consider full frame cameras even APS-C cameras. Weight is strongly correlated with sensor size. And wide aperture lenses (f/2.8 or wider) and constant aperture zoom lenses are much heaver than their less expensive alternatives (aperture = f/4 or smaller and variable aperture zoom lenses) Unless she needs long focal lengths (>200mm), she should look at the Sony RX100VII, an outstanding small camera. If she needs longer focal lengths and macro lenses, she should look at the OM Systems OM5 or Olympus OM-D E-M10. These cameras have a large number of lightweight lenses to choose from.

What raw processor are you using? Have you changed raw processors recently? Are you organizing your files on the hard drive or using collections?

Different countries have different rules. I once had a rocket blower confiscated when I was flying out of Jordan. The security people didn't care what I used it for; they were concerned it could be used to distribute something dangerous into the air. When you are in another country, you don't get to set the standard.

Analog photograpy generally refers to film photography where the exposure of the film is actually a non-discrete process (you can't exactly quantify the number of photons that contribute to the exposure). The image is totally dependent on the number of photons captured in the grain structure of the chemical coating on the film. The image captured on the film and print is never quantified with 0's and 1's (digits) anywhere in the image capture, development and printing process. That is why film cameras are called analog cameras. (Painting and sculpture are other analog processes. So is getting a suntan.)

A digital camera focal plane also captures photons in a non-discrete process. The number of photons collected at each photo cell on the sensor during the exposure results in a voltage which is converted to a discrete binary number (a series of 0's and 1's [digits]) by an analog-to-digital circuit. The 0's and 1's from all of the sensor photo sites represent the image and are stored on the camera memory card as series of digits (the RAW format). That is why cameras with focal planes are called digital cameras. The camera digital processor creates a digital JPEG image that can be displayed on the viewfinder or LCD. The image is usually downloaded from the camera in digital format to a digital computer where it can be processed by digital software into a different digital image, sent to the printer as a stream of digits, and output onto paper as a series of discrete pulses of discrete sources of ink. Everything after the analog-to-digital circuits is digital.

The quality of the lens and the skill of the photographer are more important than the quality of the camera, with one exception: DSLRs can exhibit front- or back-focus due to manufacturing tolerance variations in the lens and camera components, resulting in reduced image sharpness. Many cameras provide a way to calibrate this for prime lenses, but not for all focal lengths in zoom lenses. Mirrorless cameras use the focal plane for focusing and do not experience this problem.

It depends. How good is the IBIS? How steady can you hold the camera? Is the subject moving? What is your focal length? How fast is your required shutter speed? Is the wind blowing the leaves or grass? How high above the ground does the camera need to be positioned? Do I need to focus stack? Etc.

IBIS has made it possible for me to handhold in some situations, with some cameras and lenses.

I suspect Canon is concerned that Sony, which produces a cell phone, could easily migrate advanced cell phone processing features into their cameras. Canon wants to be able to respond to such a move.

I know people who are so confident of their processing workflow that they can make dozens of modifications to an image in Photoshop in a way that prevents them from modifying previous Photoshop edits. I am not one of those people. Each of us is able to chose our own workflow. There is no best -- only different.

Most of the items listed in that table are irrelevant to me as a landscape photographer. The most important to me are dynamic range and lens quality. I don't care about video, or frame rate, or card write speed. It is a waste of money to pay extra for things you don't need.

Both are fantastic: Great poses and great light.

The A7RV's high resolution will suffer significantly if you use a poor quality lens. I recommend the Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 or the Sony 24-100mm f/4 and the Sony 70-200mm M2 f/2.8 or the Sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6. The f/2.8 lenses and the 100-400mm lens are the highest quality. The 24-105 mm lens is not waterproof/resistant.

Prime lenses made more sense for DSLRs because you can only correct front-focus or back-focus issues at a single focal length for each lens. Mirrorless cameras don't have front- and back-focus problems, so they are able to focus at any focal length on a zoom lens. Also, lens technology has improved because the lens elements can be moved closer to the image plane on a mirrorless camera and because the higher pixel counts in modern mirrorless cameras forced new and improved lens designs.

So . . . she got the Door Prize?
