In our January issue we report that more and more "full frame" cameras are being offered.

I would be interested but the price of these cameras holds me back.

Please comment briefly on your response to the new "mirrorless" cameras.
Many camera makers are bringing out so-called "mirrorless" digital cameras.
The features in these cameras make me think I could use one as my main camera.

New cameras are incorporating more and more processing options "on board." When adding special effects/image processing do you:
Find yourself using more and more in-camera "filters" and processing options.
6% (10 votes)
Shoot the image and then do all your processing later in the computer or pad.
77% (124 votes)
Do some on-board processing but leave the "heavy lifting" to computer software.

Off camera" flash opens the door to many creative lighting setups.
I have worked with radio-controlled or IR controlled flash firing and have found it an exciting way to work.

I need to learn more about this way of controlling flash from the camera.

I rarely if ever work with flash, so this doesn't interest me.

Digital SLRs and even integral lens digital cameras now offer ISO ratings as high as ISO 1600, and beyond. Naturally, this increases the chances of "noise" in images. Many cameras have built-in NR (noise reduction) software that kick in at high ISOs. Beyond that, what is your strategy for reducing noise in images?
Please briefly comment on how you manage and control noise in your shots.
I generally enable noise redutcion software at ISO 800 and higher.
37% (55 votes)
I let the automatic noise reduction programs do the work for me.
11% (17 votes)
I rarely use those very high ISO settings.
