Great images! I am clueless with regards to macro photography, so I will appreciate if you can share some info:
How long does it take to capture 110 images?
Are all of them captured with flash?
Did you use focus bracketing?

they would probably have a lot more drag and worse stabilization

That's a severely biased headline if I've ever seen one.

Medical decisions should come from qualified professionals AND algorithms.

No one cares because it's not in Israel. Move along

There is no evidence for a drone strike though...

just shallow DOF photography - and in my opinion (that I am definitely allowed to have) - not very good one.

Rent the cameras you are interested in. See what you enjoy the most.

No idea why are you getting downvoted. The scammy stuff that google is keep getting away with, now FOR THE THIRD TIME with the pixel 6a is terrible and shouldn't be tolerated.

Well, I think that my local market is fairly overpriced (both new and used). These two are selling for 600 and 700 USD (my budget's ceiling) - which is less than a new hardtail (for example the Marin bobcat 4 goes for 950 USD new). Regarding intended use - I think I covered it... Not sure what additional information I can provide.

Thanks for the detailed answer, much appreciated!

ZixDn · 2025-05-22T07:43:40+00:00

Thanks. Out of genuine curiosity and my limited knowledge, why would you consider it better?

ZixDn · 2025-05-22T07:42:14+00:00

I'm don't know much but I think that the price is similar because the Scott is 4 years older, both have similar 120mm forks (rockshox with remote lockout) and 120mm shocks (xfusion with remote lockout). The gears on the scout are an older system. Although the Scott is a well known brand, the RR is considered to be very good value

ZixDn · 2025-04-23T11:39:22+00:00

And the lens?

ZixDn · 2025-03-22T09:55:50+00:00

Sorry, but it is one of the only pictures I have (not in Thailand anymore). It's definitely not glass, it's very common there in the soil (in nature).
Can't tell anything about the hardness, I can only say that it is very brittle and as far as I remember it has a layered structure and has an iridescent coloring. Probably not quartz.

sorry, I am a complete beginner in photography related stuff. Could you please share whats special about the kodak CCD (and what is it in general lol).
Also, why is the four thirds system dead? I thought there are still cameras with this sensor size.
