The Nikon 1 is an odd character. You can dismiss its size and lens selection (lord knows I do) but: 1) Nikon engineered the hell out of that thing. After taking into account the sensor size...

Not exactly dispelling that stark dilemma for NEX owners between choosing lenses that are good and lenses that a normal person can afford.

EssexAsh: Never. Panny has committed root and branch to the 4/3 sensor size. The would have to design an entirely new line of lenses, pulling resources away from their gangbusters m4/3 operation....

A fixed 3.5-6.4 zoom? For $3,000+ ?!? Yikes. Trying to visualize the market segment Leica is gunning for, I see wealthy brand-conscious NEX users who don't need portability or the option to use...

Is not. Panasonic does not make APS-C.

Leica has an agreement with Panasonic, not Olympus. The GF1 was such an awesome camera because Panasonic made it expecting Leica to re-badge it. The zoom lens was idiosyncratically great for the...

I would say that Leica is using its partnership with Panasonic to make a m4/3 body. However it would be odd to position a 4/3 sensor above the X2, so I have to go with a full-frame version of the...

Does not work. Phones use an LED flash that ramps up much too slowly (in flash time) to trigger a device. The phone needs to send a trigger signal by bluetooth or it won't work.

You know why this is cool? So far as I know nobody has ever gotten an idevice to sync with an external strobe. The dinky direct flash LED has too broad an on-off time to trigger optical slaves,...

Damn you JEROME, I was just about to complain that the Q got robbed yet again.

Damn you JEROME, I was just about to complain that the Q got robbed yet again. You need to be quick with your obvious jokes around here.

Instead of upgrading your camera, spend the same money on the Olympus 17mm/1.8 and the Panasonic 14mm/2.5 primes. Maybe add the Olympus 45mm/1.8 to your kit for longer shots and you can handle...

PDAF works about the same as CDAF for macro work. They both suck. For best results at very close distances, use your hand.
-
If you have a D800 plus lenses then you already have a go-to system any time you need quality and can schlep the weight. You really want to maximize how much your systems complement each other...

It's an entirely new lens design that will (or had better) shoot very well at f/1.2. Making one of those from scratch is not trivial.

Anyone who wants an interchangeable system to succeed needs to develop a lens ecosystem before it can be taken seriously. I had Nikon 1 cameras on death watch until this, but not it looks like...

@happypoppeye: I think he means the Sigma primes. In the NEX world those count as prestige lenses.
-
Olympus has some of the best primes and zooms in the entire camera world but no one has any reason to buy them. A PDAF OMD would finally give 4/3 owners a modern body to use their excellent and...
