Peiasdf: While the market share says otherwise, I think BB is a distance 4th behind Apple, Android and Windows.
I think Windows phones still, rightfully, holds the distant last place.
Priaptor: This is what the iPhone 5 should have been
tile UI is a copy of Windows 8? LOL. Tile widgets existed on Android even before Windows Mobile 7.
toni2: Microsoft and other companies are using patents because they have nothing to do in actual market, so they need the money of others to survive. It's an unfair play.
Unless Microsoft specifies which exact patents they believe are being violated, it's protection money plain and simple.
IrishhAndy: In my experience silkypix gives the most detail but is a pain to use. I found the fuji jpegs lacked detaill and had a lot of colour noise. It would seem that this sensor is almost impossible to proxess for optimum results.
I've heard about your bad experience but it seems many users and reputable reviews disagree with your one-person-opinion regarding the jpeg here Mr. IA.
FRANCISCO ARAGAO: Wow, Apple "buying" patents!
Now this is new!
Certainly not new: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=apple+nortel
Easy.
Olympus OM-D feature set, Fuji FF X-Trans sensor, Nikon D800 AF, Pentax K-5 ergonomics, Canon lens system, Fuji X-E1 size/weight.
Geez. It's called "prime" lens, not "single focal length" lens. Stop the propaganda already.
wy2lam: Does it seems like there's no Bulb mode on this $2500+ body, or am I mistaken?
Thanks Plastek. Reading up on A77 it seems it's reasonable to assume that the A99 does have a remote-activated bulb mode. Does the mount support screw driven lenses?
Does it seems like there's no Bulb mode on this $2500+ body, or am I mistaken?
ismith: So much money for an average compact camera with an obsolete phone attached! Similar price to an unlocked iPhone 4s or Galaxy S III, which both do a decent job of taking snapshots... sorry Nokia, the camera concept is good, but the package does not appeal.
It's a camera review site, not a smartphone review site. In your opinion then no matter how impressive the camera is, the package "does not appeal" unless it's attached as part of either Google's or Apple's latest and greatest?
I have to say, it's quite a narrow world view.
CameraLabTester: Pentax comes across as technical and innovative.
Ricoh sounds and feels like a breakfast cereal or chocolate malt drink.
The company should diversify into food products and leave the Pentax marque alone...

Marty4650,
To us, the word Sony also reminds us of rootkits, DRM, DMCA, poor security (PSN network), anti-customerism, suing of PS emulator makers, proprietary flash memory designed to lock customers in (memory sticks) and vastly overrated, highly ordinary LCD TVs (Bravia). It's too bad that their Walkman and Trinitron days are well over.
GreginVA: I am 2 for 2 with dud Sigma lenses, including a 150mm OS Macro which will periodically decide to have problems with autofocus and with image stabilization. I won't buy any more Ford cars and I won't buy any more Sigma lenses, particularly when there are reasonable alternatives from Canon and Nikon. The specs for this lens look good, but Sigma does not have adequate quality control.
My experience with Sigma in terms of quality control is not that different than Nikon - out of 8 Sigma lenses, 1 failed to AF after years of use. Out of 9 Nikon lenses, 1 developed AF problems also after years of use.
how long before someone compares it with the new sigma zoom?
This might become my standard lens!
Gotta try it on my E-PL...
funny its announcement is right at the same time as Nikons...
Very nice - although the idea of collages have been around for a while, it's time to take a break from panoramic stitching :)
at $16...a steal. although tutorials and such are easy to find, they don't function well as a coherent set of lessons.
hm...looks a lot like Think Tank bags! Have anyone tried both?
nice to know that older bodies are still being maintained. good job.
