What a poser

Quite a display. Ignorance runs deep. Can they be fined or worse for their actions?

They were fined. Someone provided the Police with photos.

I'm betting no one can tell the difference. I only wish I had a 2.0 extender to go with the 1.4III + the crop

Well, at 0.5MP or 1.44MP, it is really hard to see the difference between an 11MP and a 30MP original, or whether there is TC use.

1.6x crop mode is 11MP, so you'd better use more teleconversion than you would on a 20MP or 24MP APS-C for pixels-on-subject.

This will actually get more interesting when there are FF mirrorless with the same or higher pixel density than today's APS-C cameras; then crop mode has no disadvantages over using actual APS-C cameras.

There is no subject quality benefit to smaller sensors or crop modes in focal-length-limited situations, as the crop factor means zilch except that it discards more of the lens' image circle; only pixel density has any value.

Do what they do with cars caught hooning. Confiscate them. Repeat offenders sell them off!

Laws are very different for watercraft. Cars - if seen doing something wrong owner is responsible.
Sign affidavit if someone else driving and go to jail if found to be lying (eg former Judge Marcus Einfeld)
Not so with watercraft. None of the 5 culprits owned the Skis anyway. Owners buy brand new skis every year.
Smiling culprit was only 17. Unlicensed and unregistered Ski = $2000. Parents would not have been happy having to pay.
Parents probably even more unhappy that they were riding the owners Ski. (honest people don't buy brand new Jetskis yearly).
Those photos went into two local newspapers with faces blurred. The Telegraph said they would blur but did not.
Parents not happy to be shamed.
Jetskiers unhappy that several blitzes by Police followed.
Posters appeared in National Parks with photo of me and my phone number.

Impressive. Thank you for sharing.

Sharpness on a small web page image and anything that you like about the composition has nothing at all to do with the ultimate quality of 11MP APS-C, compared to other imaging options. Sharp web images can be a cheap parlor trick, and compositions should not have their credit given to sensor areas and densities.

Personally, I couldn't give a stuff whether an image is perceived by a pixel-peeper as being inferior compared to another on a pure technical analysis of sensor areas and densities; for me, an image is high quality based upon how pleasing it is to me to view, via whatever medium it is being presented at the time.

I can really enjoy images taken from mobile phones sent to me via WhatsApp just as much as I might enjoy an image shown to me on a large screen taken by a 1-series camera.

It isn't the camera, it is the photographer that makes an image worth viewing and enjoying.

As for anal gear analysis, sure, I 'get' why some might be obsessed with such and want to score points by 'proving' their position that one sensor, for example, is better than another but in reality, at the coal-face of making pictures enjoyable, it is all just fluff. Maybe some folks need all the help that they can get so must have 'the best' even if only for a psychological advantage given most people - the general target audience - won't be able to tell the difference between well-taken images from a 6, 5 or 1-series.

Ultimately, if people are enjoying using one camera over another it doesn't matter why or which is technically 'best' at silly, irrelevant levels, so long as they are out having fun with their camera.

I breifly owned the Pentax K1. I gotta say the R really feels like a K1 in the hand. Feels more solid than my older 5d ii and 5d iii.

some people can make art with sand and a stick and others can take razor sharp images that are called snapshots!!! Just saying! sorry, for the injection, but the pissing contest is getting old!

Well it was raining today but there's lots of birds around to waste snaps on…..

I Know I Know… Birds…. Honestly I swore I would not shoot up another camera on birds… I'm just weak…

But in my defence… Its the first hummer I've seen this year and its a big group of Rose Breasted Grosbeaks... like 20 or so

More from the "NASA – A Human Adventure" exhibition currently showing Queensland Museum in Brisbane which runs from 15 March to 9 October 2019.

Thanks for update.
Seems like you're made to be the bad boy, as usual, and the perpetrators made hero's.

There's some strange laws into waterways and how we interact, not to mention the way people don't respect things in these areas.

So happy to see the Osprey have made progress. Probably 1000 stick deliveries made to get these 10 or so to stay put.
About 3300mm effective focal length..
