It would be great if a 40-150 f/2.8 Cx lens was 800gms or less. Whilst the lenses you mention are less than that, the more recent Sigma 50-150 f/2.8 is 1.40 Kg... Maybe the fact that it is of...

There's no information on the Olympus 40-150 zoom, but a quick calculation on the volume of glass involved in a 40-150 2.8 zoom compared to the Panasonic 35-100 f/2.8 (360g) would imply a weight of...

Fair point - I guess if you selected 24 Mpixels than there would be a significant number of upscaled examples.   What about a 16 Mpixel option?  Scanning quickly through the recent reviews and...

True, that would reduce weight, size and cost.  40-140 2.8 was probably about as long as one would want to go as a hand-holdable f/2.8 zoom for CX. If targeting an f/4 design, maybe it would be...

And 38-150 2.8 (100-400mm equivalent)  Olympus have recently announced 40-150 2.8, but on mft that only represents 80-300mm equivalent.  A Nikon 40-150 2.8 would be just fine...

Hi Richard, I know you responded previously when I asked a question about the 'Print' option. As per the previous discussions, the 'Print' size is set for 8 Mp, and you pointed out this was because...

Hi Subferno, there was some discussion on this in the comments after the AW! review in drpreview. Here's a paste of the comments: By Jefftan (1 week ago) lens look like can't use lens...

Hi Kerry, to confirm what you've said, Thom explains this in the article about the Fujitsu Milbeaut chip here: http://www.dslrbodies.com/newsviews/milbeaut-and-expeed.html 'Milbeaut, unfortunately,...

Maybe Nikon will produce a version of the Nikon WP-N1 Waterproof Case designed for the AW1. The WP-N1 is about $530 on Amazon.com.  Can withstand depths up to...

@R Butler - maybe I was mistaken about your intentions.

The issue is that the 8 MP test doesn't differentiate the cameras sufficiently - they all look pretty good at ISO 6400. 8MP/A3 is not...

Excellent ,thanks. One request. The 'Print' size appears to be set for 8 Mp (howering the mouse over the tab shows this); I thought your goal was to set the print size for an A2 print - which...

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 review published today uses the new dpreview studio comparison, which includes a 'print' size option to enable cameras of different pixel counts to be fairly compared for...

There was an article by Bob Newman in the UK Amateur Photographer magazine, September 8th 2012 which provided a neat explanation that was a lot easier to visualize than the typical Circle of...

It is true that if you look at the pixels, the noise levels appear similar. See DxOmark's...

For me it is the ability to take high quality images completely silently.  Many compact cameras can have the shutter 'sound' turned off, but the results are not of sufficient quality.

Thanks Mouser, interesting info.  What the Nikon statements imply is that Nikon actually gained market share; in 2012/13 the share was 20%; in 2013/14 it looks like it grew to about 25% market...

Hi Marvin, I've just checked your gear list - I see you already have a D7100, so a V1 would not give you a huge advantage in terms of pixels at Cx cropped size (D7100 cropped to Cx is 7.4 mpixels...

Hi Marvin, given that you have the 70-200 f4, maybe a Nikon V1 would be a low-cost option, to give you up to 540mm reach... If you check on the Nikon 1 System Talk site you will see many bird...

You might like to check out these images taken by Fernando B. Corrada last year, a number were taken with the 28-300: http://www.flickr.com/photos/febco1/sets/72157628920788809/ Pretty much...

And the results on Photozone with a D3X show a similar pattern: http://www.photozone.de/nikon_ff/578-nikkorafs28300vrff?start=1 http://www.photozone.de/nikon_ff/620-nikon70300f4556vrfx?start=1 So...
