  • Dave... I realize you are paranoid and mistrust government. So am I. But this time you really have gone too far. I read the bill, and can't find anything that supports your conclusions. You are...
  • The OP has posted this same post twice. Both here and in the Sony NEX forum. In both cases he just posted his OP and never replied to any of the comments. Knowing this, I think it's safe to assume...
  • Perhaps you didn't notice, but I was comparing the EPM1 to the RX100, and not to the RX1. The RX1 is in an entirely different league, being a $3,000 camera. I was comparing compact low priced...
  • Maybe I'm unique.... but even if they gave away cloud service for free, I still wouldn't want it. I like having my OWN files on my OWN hard drive. I like ACTUALLY OWNING things I paid for or...
  • You're blog post assumes that MILC cameras are supposed to do everything for everyone, and they just can't do this. In fact, no type of camera can do everything really well. We select our cameras...
  • I suppose it isn't a lot more expensive if you were in the habit of upgrading with every new edition. But many amateurs like myself would upgrade once every 5 years or so. For us, the CC is beyond...
  • What Adobe will accomplish by raising their prices so high is that they will flush out all the casual users. People who buy CS, but don't really need it. Once they shrink their customer base...
  • This move will probably separate the causal users from the "must have professionals." Anyone who absolutely must have the latest version for their jobs will pay the monthly rental cost. Everyone...

  • The only times where cameras get dumped is when they are discontinued, replaced by newer models, or simply when someone blundered by building too many of them, expecting a sales share that never...
  • Replied in I tend to agree
    I agree that MILC camera sales will grow, and eventually own more than half the ILC market. But I disagree that it will happen anytime soon. It will probably take at least another ten years for...
  • First of all, we don't know if this means "MFT sales are down." These figures are for mirrorless cameras as a whole, and it could mean that some of the other brands (Samsung, Pentax, Nikon, etc.)...
  • Those photos are really great examples of documentary work that shows us something interesting and relatively unknown to most of us. And the compositions themselves are actually pretty darn...

  • This could be a Fuji X100s killer. Especially if the 17mm f/.8 lens is bundled with it.

    Not only will it be cheaper, but you will have the ability to mount other primes, which is something that...

  • This is really an interesting idea. Sony could convert their SLT cameras into MILC cameras, assuming the lens mount isn't changed. But there are pluses and minuses involved. It just depends on...
  • When you consider the fact that just four years ago there were no mirrorless system cameras, then it seems to me like they have claimed an impressive share of the ILC market in a very short time...
  • Replied in True, but
    You're right. But it is very unlikely that any manufacturer would plan for serial numbers for a mass market item and then limit the number of digits for quantity made to only four. In your example,...
  • Sony has already released 9 different models in the past three years, and many of them are very similar in design and functionality.  Sony NEX-3 Sony NEX-5 Sony NEX-C3 Sony NEX-7 Sony NEX-5N Sony...
  • Replied in Think about it
    Sites like NowPublic.com solicit photos for free, but won't pay a cent for them.  This is their business plan, and they know they can always find someone willing to give their photos away for a...
  • I never said "discontinued" ... I said discounted. And you have to admit... 13 months is quite a long time for a new camera to be selling at full list price. But the OM-D must have sufficient...
  • Replied in Indeed
    I didn't intend this thread to become a "which is better" contest... I honestly think BOTH are great cameras that serve different needs. And it is really a good thing that M4/3 has two cameras such...
