  • Commented on Apple announces iPhone 4S with 8MP camera and 1080p video news story

    Are you for real? LOL What does Samsung's success have to with Apple? I know they make chips and screens for Apple products but a lot of their money comes from their LCD sales that just about every...

  • Commented on Reviewed: Sony NEX-5N 16MP mirrorless camera news story

    Michael

    You must be blind. Bjorn L's post springs to mind and there are plenty others. Unfortunately, you only see those types of posts in NON M43 discussions. You never see ridiculous statements...

  • Commented on Reviewed: Sony NEX-5N 16MP mirrorless camera news story

    Why are the M43 fanboys talking like the size of the lens is the most important thing in a camera system? Newsflash, it is not. In fact, the lens size ranks very very very low to a lot of...

  • Replied in Review of the SX40 and FZ150
    Except the Tamron is a 432mm equivalent on Canon which is pretty damn close to 600mm. Which is only a 168mm difference. So 480 is not long enough but 600 is? Sure. lol Except you wont be...
  • Replied in Review of the SX40 and FZ150
    The Canon is clearly the better camera here. The FZ150 simply is not a good buy in my opinion. A T3i, A55, or D5100 with a Tamron 18-270 is way too close to 24x zoom and would smoke the Panny. A...
  • Commented on Nikon announces Nikon 1 system with V1 small sensor mirrorless camera news story

    But the lens selection will be smaller. Isn't that the entire baseless argument against the NEX system? Now when the roles are reversed it isn't significantly smaller or lighter in practice?

    I...

  • Commented on Nikon announces Nikon 1 system with V1 small sensor mirrorless camera news story

    So, when Nikon eventually releases the worlds smallest pancake lens for the V1 is the small brigade going to jizz in their pants? Or does smaller is better only count if you are comparing M43 with...

  • Commented on Nikon announces Nikon 1 system with V1 small sensor mirrorless camera news story

    I own a G3 now instead of the GH2 and I love it and I am sure many other people do too but I am sure Panasonic would much, MUCH, MUCH rather have it outsell a Nikon V1 than to satisfy us. So no,...

  • Commented on Nikon releases four '1 Nikkor lenses' for Nikon 1 system news story

    The M43 brigade is at it again I see. First they try and ruin the hype for the NEX 7, A77, and A65. Now they are dissing another format which strangely enough will have the same ammunition M43 folk...

  • Commented on Canon launches PowerShot SX40 HS 35x CMOS superzoom news story

    35x zoom SX230hs? Sounds good to me. The 24x zoom that Panasonic is sticking to really isn't enough. I can totally outclass the FZ series with a G2 + 100-300mm for not that much more right now....

  • Replied in A77 ISO performance, what if ....
    Not sure if this is possible but what if ISO 400 on the A77 turned out a cleaner picture in the dark then ISO 800 on the 5N. Then wouldn't direct ISO comparisons be totally meaningless? Has any...
  • Replied in Guru Philip Bloom using the NEX-5N (and barely mentioning it)!
    Actually, I would rather have something in between that size. You can't cradle the 25mm in your left hand or hold the entire set by the lens because it is too small yet both the lens and body is...
  • Replied in iPhone 5 as a nice P&S camera
    Xperia ARC and the Galaxy S2 already have pretty decent cameras. Iphone 5 might be better but maybe not. The Nexus prime too. Any of those or the Nokia N8 should be fine. Of course they will...
  • Commented on Nikon shares rise as Nikkei suggests mirrorless launch news story

    A good example of why the M43 and NEX fanboys are deluded to think that Canikon is losing market share by not jumping into mirrorless right away. They simply do not need to. Just a mere rumor about...

  • Commented on Sony gives more detail of its OLED viewfinder news story

    You see the colour chart that says regular OLED technology has a 200um pixel density while with the filters they can go as small as 9.9um. It is pretty clear looking at the chart and text combined.

  • Commented on Sony gives more detail of its OLED viewfinder news story

    You should read again actually. Read this part again.

    "The realization of 3.3um x 9.9um pixel size of the industry's smallest and *3 achieved a 2.4 million pixel high-definition 0.5 effective...

  • Commented on Sony gives more detail of its OLED viewfinder news story

    You have to look at it from a size perspective. Plasma TV technology cannot get smaller than 42 inches. If someone comes up with a way to do it by changing the technology a bit, that would hardly...

  • Commented on Sony gives more detail of its OLED viewfinder news story

    Unless Sony patents it as a viewfinder technology. Then they can use some Apple tactics to prevent Samsung from copying it.

    Samsung does make some sweets OLED screens for their phones though....

  • Commented on Sony gives more detail of its OLED viewfinder news story

    I am not 100% positive because of the horrible translation but I believe that article says that they needed to go with filters in order to make the technology feasible in such a small space.

  • Replied in Can 5N do 60p video?
    Um. Why wouldn't you believe it? From HX9V/HX100V onward, I am quite positive that all their other semi high end releases will have 60p. Since those point and shoot cameras have it and the 5N is on...
