Which point and shoot to get? I do a lot of hiking and like to carry a small point-and-shoot camera that can fit easily in the leg of my pants or in a pouch on my backpack. I’ll take photos of scenic vistas or close ups of other natural things like lichen or pine cones – typical hiking stuff. I also use the camera to take action shots of my dogs romping and playing. I’ve had…

Sony A7IV Dual Native ISO Mystery – Is 12,800 a Hidden Feature? When shooting in S-Log 3 on my Sony A7IV, I’ve always noticed that there’s no drop in noise when I hit ISO 3200.

I looked this up, but I can’t find anything stating that the A7IV’s dual native ISO has a second point at 12,800—everything just mentions 3…

Thinking of Upgrading My Nikon D5000—What Should I Get? I’ve been using a Nikon D5000 with an 18-55mm lens and a Speedlite flash for a while now, and I’m thinking about upgrading.
