HA Raw: I looked up some samples from the DP review of each, and the D800 completely buries the V1 at every ISO.

The color is similar at 6400, but only in JPG. In Raw, the chroma noise on the...

AS far as HA RAW claiming the ISO 6400 will be better than the D800, I can't imagine that will be true. (No matter how much you like grain...)

I have not used either, so I can't say for sure, but...

I think your comment was exactly right. This is a great camera for people who occasionally drop their camera. I, for one, never plan to drop the camera, so I rarely have the waterproof housing on...

I always thought "freeze proof" was an odd spec anyway. The thing that goes bad at 20 degrees (on my cameras, at least) is the battery life.

For my money, they could have just put a telephone in the RX100.

It will be fun to play with, though. You could walk around with the camera in one hand and your phone in the other, and never...

Maybe they meant "a sheep in wolf's clothing." The sensors in the NEX have been great for several years. It is the AF (and particularly C-AF) that is troublesome.

Sony's solution: Dress up...

I heard the new Sony full frame NEX is going to have a "talent" setting. I can't wait to fire that up and go take pictures of people's feet.

I like the NEX-6, but I always had trouble with focus speed and accuracy, particularly in low light. If Panny can beat the Sony in AF, then it might be worth the extra money, particularly for...

John,I would like to thank you and everyone for the advice. For now, I am experimenting with using iPhoto to organize the files that I have imported. Once I get used to the system, it may turn...

I am new to the Mac environment, and not exactly sure how best to manage my photos. The powerbook seems like it does a lot of work for me, but I am not sure How much to take advantage of. When...

I wish DPR would go back and finish the review of the EOS M. It has been about a year, and Canon even finally got around to fixing the firmware. A review of that camera might give us a good idea...

Depends what you are looking for. If you are looking for a small 300g camera to carry around, an ASPC sensor or bigger, hybrid AF, touchscreen, 1/6000 shutter speed, and changeable lenses, then...

The OMD is a good camera, but a set of compromises, just like every camera. The kit lens does not stand up well to the competition in the same price range, and predictive autofocus is average at...

I think the DP Review comparisons are good, but the real world can still be different. The problem with the EP1 was autofocus and high ISO. The still pictures at ISO 100 were always good.

In...

The OMD can shoot at ISO 6400, and if you put a fast lens on it, the focus is fast and accurate enough. It is hardly a sports photographer's camera, but for shooting your kids around the house, it...

My best advice is to keep the camera, and shoot every chance you get. When I first found out my son was autistic, I saved my money and continued to use my old point-and-guess camera. As a result,...

I don't understand the comparison to RX100 either. If the RX100 was the perfect camera for the price range, why would Sony make the NEX-3? (Some people like to switch lenses, maybe?)

I see the...

Price will be as interesting a stat as the max aperture.

1. It is a new market. If you price it low enough, it keeps away the competition. (If you price it too low, though, you are leaving money...

I take photographs as a hobby, and do not charge for it. If I need a photograph with professional lighting, composition, and posing, then I will hire someone who has studied those things. And I...

If I were to create a jreat work like that, I would also feel entitled to name it anything I want. Then, as I jrew older, I would feel perfectly comfortable telling people how to pronounce...
