Sigma has introduced a sibling to its fp full-frame mirrorless camera that debuted in 2019. The Sigma fp L is identical to the original fp in its incredibly small and light form but features a new 61-megapixel back-illuminated sensor that places it among the highest resolution full-frame mirrorless cameras available. The original fp, which remains in the line, offers 24.6-megapixel resolution. Front view of the Sigma fp L with the optional EVF-11 viewfinder attached.

The Canon EOS R5 is the company's highest-resolution mirrorless camera to date, but as the general 5D analog, it actually is not meant to be the company's high-resolution body. This means we will likely see a high-resolution RF mount body at some point, and it looks like Canon is aiming to clear 100 megapixels. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

Location: Glacier National Park, Montana. “This picture is the result of learning a lesson the hard way,” explains Sabin. “I missed a picture of a Grizzly on a back road in Montana because my camera was in the back seat.

Most traffic jams in the park are caused by tourists, but this jam was caused by bighorn sheep walking the road in the uphill lane while I was headed down. With my camera ready on...

Now, when you are desperate, a smart preview is absolutely better than nothing at all, but with the release of the Super Resolution feature in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) it got me thinking about the viability and process of applying it to smart previews. Could it work? Now, I have to stress that...
