> The Oly is likely to compare quite well, even vs. FF (could even beat that old 35, at least wide open).

But the 35/2 on "FF" would be stopped down to 3.5 for a fair comparison. (Fair= same...

DA are the APS-C lenses that support full metering and AF. You can mount any of the older K-mount (Pentax bayonet) lenses directly, with more or less limited functionality (K, M, A, KAF, DFA, FA,...

Elaka, noise at same output size is almost independent from sensor resolution. If you look at it at 100%, the pic with more MP will be also larger, so the noise appears worse (per pixel noise vs....

I think you mean abomination, not abortion.

I hope the rating algorithm will be smart enough to detect mob behaviour and people voting multiple times through different accounts and punish those accordingly.
Also, there are cases where a...

So Sony themselves are switching to a normal hot shoe and Hasselblad "inherits" a hot shoe that does not match any of their previous cameras?!
They have enough money to design a crocodile hand...

Right now someone at Sony is seriously mad that they didn't go for the NEX fullframe and instead did the RX1. Ah well, there's always next year.

> Sigma 10-20mm £326, Tokina 11-16mm £500, Canon 10-22mm £540, Tamron 10-24mm £350.
> Samyang 14mm £330

The Samyan g is a FF lens. While this is maybe of no relevance to an APS-C user, it does...

It's nice, but being able to mount a filter and size are also important. I can understand people preferring one over the other.

> So 50mm F/4.5 in terms of angle of view and depth of field. BUT NO that does not mean light transmission changes, it's still the same intensity of light regardless of crop.

Intensity of light...

I think it's testing the water for a future FF "NEX deluxe" (I call dibs on the name NEXluxe :D )

You are right. If this was a camera with interchangeable lenses, many here would be prepared to pay more than 2800USD. But it's not. And I think that's why several people are a bit unhappy.

I'm sure my sarcasm meter must be broken, but just in case you are serious:
1) Pentax has had IBIS in their APS-C cameras for years
2) This SR lens is for their medium format camera
I think...

Hi LJ
First: LR uses a cache for the previews as well. So I am not sure where you are going with this.

Second: I don't want my RAW processor to keep track of my images. With RSE I could simply...

Absolutely. I find that extremely annoying. I much preferred RawShooter's approach - sad that they did not carry that over when Adobe bought and killed it.

I completely agree with you (toys and tools, I would say ;) ) - but at the same time, I think it's not realistic: I just don't think manufacturers are ready to embrace open-source user-interfaces,...

The rule of thirds is just a simple way to do a rough golden ratio, with the benefit of being able to map the whole frame in one go, whereas golden ratio will give different intersections,...

This is the real world, not Hollywood.
An iphone would not make it past the moon before radiation kills it.

I guess using three 0.7MP sensors, one for each colour would be better than using one 2MP sensor, but the alignment problems during the rough entry of the spacecraft might have been problematic. ...
