If Crucial makes the RAM for your computer I would buy theirs.

I seems it may depend on the camera. Here is a link to a discussion of this subject: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4205077

To use the electronic shutter you need to open it and when you go back to mechanical shutter it closes. If your camera does count all shutter actuations that would probably not decrease its lifespan but may decrease its resale value -- slightly. And this should be easy to test on your camera.

Can you still right-click and "Save Image As...". This will let you save the image where ever you want to save it and rename it at the same time.

I would not photograph anyone who told me that they would prefer not being photographed. That is just "being polite". I try to be polite as part of my belief system. And I imagine that the Amish do not like being photographed because they do not like being thought of as a "curiosity". Not really complicated at all.

How is calling someone else's belief "superstitious" respecting their belief. May I rephrase your belief: "You should respect their right to have a belief, no matter how superstitious or opposite your beliefs it is."

But you have no requirement to respect their belief itself. A case in point is someone may believe that the Earth is flat. I would not respect that belief! There are many common beliefs that are due no respect at all.

A quick look at the news reports on this issue says that it involves capturing your key signal as it is sent to the car to lock or unlock it. The code cannot be captured if you are not using your key fob to lock or unlock the door. The article I read suggested not using the key fob to open or lock your car so as to avoid the capture of the code. Car owners without a "real" key are out of luck.

In this context lens focal length is a stand-in for magnification. The higher the magnification the faster the shutter speed has to be for there to be no apparent motion blur.

So, everything ELSE being equal, smaller sensor OR longer focal length OR using DX crop setting on an FX camera all would require faster shutter speeds in order to make the image not show any motion blur. And this is partly the property of our ability to see the blur -- it is always there but in a similar vein to the 500 rule, it is about what we perceive.

Let's imagine you had 99 images from the same shoot and all had the same starting dimensions. If they were all portraits and you wanted to have the same cropping start point (meaning same size crop in the same location in each of the images) you could crop one image to the size and ratio you want and then Copy that Develop setting (crop only checked) and Paste that Develop setting to all of the other images in your set. You would then only have to go into each image and move the crop to the area in that image that is best. {Assuming the images are different enough that the head moves from image to image.}

I do not think there is a way to save a Custom Crop that does not go to the edges of the image -- either top and bottom or left and right sides. Just the ratio is saved.

There are three attachment points on your camera and potentially one on your lens. I would not worry about attaching the PD anchors to any of these spots. The tripod mount is probably the strongest of the three as it is one point meant to hold the whole weight of the camera and lens.
The main issue is how the camera and lens hang when you are walking and do not have the camera in your hands. Attaching to the PD tripod mount or an L-bracket lets the camera hang in a more lens down orientation - especially with a larger lens. I use an L-bracket and attach the anchor to that instead of using the PD tripod adapter.

To my eye, the 2X jpeg is much noisier than the original RAW or the resized RAW. Check the sky and the grey on the underside of the plane.

Perhaps you should not have asked the question - "..., and, especially, is it a good photograph?" - if you did not really want the answer.

I will not give my opinion on your snapshot because you would not want it. I do not comment very often but from my reading on UHH I find Kmgw9v to be an honest and level headed poster. Feel free to pay no attention to my pronouncements as well.

Curious if that red dot in the RAW to JPG is a stuck pixel. It does not seem to be in the (exact) same location as the white dot on the TV.

I have the Epson V600 also and it works well for prints. I have not done any negatives.

This sounds correct. There are two parts to copying anything to CD or DVD. First you copy to the external and at this stage it seems that the files are on the DVD. Then you "burn" or finish the process. On the Mac either Right Mouse Click the icon of the CD/DVD or hold down the Control key and Left Click on the icon and choose Burn from the resulting menu. You should now be able to dismount the CD/DVD and re-insert it and be able to copy the files back to your Mac.
