On the other side Canon is fighting a megapixel war and here coming up with 2mp sensor
Even more than the title "Can film @ pitch black dark", I am awestruck when I saw the price tag

Even the sony A7s had a similar campaign. And considering the ISO sensitivity of almost a lakh it was right tooOn the other side Canon is fighting a megapixel war and here coming up with 2mp sensor

I did, but when it was setting next morning. I didn't know about this blue moon until today when I watched about this in local news.

Totally out of context, I spent my weekend in Milan, and the worst thing which can happen...happened. Rain. That was the moment I thought....if only I had a weather proof camera.

but do we have weatherproof dslrs..or just those bulky weatherproof covers..like underwater housing ...DSLR like D7000 take good amount of rain but then lens should be weatherproof too else its of no use...I tried and the lens became foggy
those weatherproof cams are just P&S...and what much can we expect from them

I think manufacturers should clear the air about being weather resistant and weather proof. Given that there is no IPX ratings and certification for these cameras, we can never be sure of what can void warranty. And I am not sure if a weather shielded camera paired with wr lens can take heavy rain or not, that requires lots and lots of sealing. I personally like to use my Z1 compact in such scenarios, atleast I don't have to worry about warranty. The still picture quality of wr point and shoot and go pro....I wouldn't vouch for them.
I made an interesting observation though, while I was using my A6000, there were instances where I exposed it completely in rain, for around 10-20s, while I'm not saying that one should try this...my camera was working flawlessly, even though there was water everywhere, even on the hotshoe.

I believe so. Even if they claim their DSLR is sealed, it's better to use some protection like underwater housing or something if we wanna go out and shoot in the rain or beach.
You're lucky then. If water gets in through hotshoe, most likely it will mess up the whole circuitry...
I use recuva for recovering files. If you haven't replaced any new files in that particular drive, pretty much you can get everything back. If that was a low level formatting, I am not sure.Lost all my pictures after I mistakenly formatted my whole laptop..I am recovering JPGs using Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery how do I recover raw images

I tried recuva..Whole night it was recovering pics but none were visible..So tried this new app..
Hmmm.I am still recovering jpg only..
I have recently been in a horrible experience of wiping my 1 TB hdd clean wipe. A tool known as MiniTool Power Data Recovery was able to recover all partitions and then all my data intact. Can give a try.
Although I did have to give it one night.
