Finally. The camera for me. Now I don't have to wait for the Fuji XE-2 ;)

Head-to-heads are really useful. Thank you.

HI Barney, thank you for your patient handling of all us high-maintenance trolls down here in Commentistan :)

Guess I misunderstood this, perhaps? http://www.dpreview.com/news/2013/03/04/Canon-develops-high-sensitivity-full-frame-CMOS-sensor-for-videos

I saw this and got excited: http://www.dpreview.com/news/2013/03/04/Canon-develops-high-sensitivity-full-frame-CMOS-sensor-for-videos

Larger pixels would be much better for light-gathering than wider apertures. Imagine how high an ISO you could get away with on a 5Mp 1" sensor. Or a 5Mp FF sensor, for that matter.

All these people in search of the wides aperture ... are you all wedding portrait or chocolate-box virtuosos or what?

There's a sweet spot, surely, yabokkie? Narrow apertures affect quality but so do open apertures where the angle of incidence of the light on the sensor has such a big range affects sharpness too,...

Bokeh! Isolate the subject! Lower apertures are rubbish! Make sure your cameras and lenses have all the things!

10Mp would be great with bigger pixels that gather more light for a little bit more high-ISO goodness. Why don't they do that?

Oh nice. It's either this or the surely-being-developed Fujifilm XE-2 for me ;)

Oh do sit down. I see 5 posts from you about this girl's knickers. Try to put them out of your mind. Isn't there some cat or colourful dessert somewhere near you that you can capture for awestruck...

".. Don't really think it matters?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Fire this man! Ye gods and little pixels! ;)

Brave duckling, defending The Zeitgeist! Now you are a swan, a swan!

Only possible with the latest APS-C or M4/3 one of those lousy compacts with those tiny sensors couldn't have taken these pics I'll bet they look suitably wonderful at 100% crop hey the bokeh could...
