The totally differently sized crop for the Lumia and Sony compared to apple due to the different resolution renders the visual comparison more or less useless. It would have been better to set the...

Hi Wolfgang, could you please share where you got the lens from at this early stage? Thanks and best regards, Chris

Ron, I generally agree with you that it is limiting. But the following shots are also with the 50mm. I also own the 18-55, and FD 24/35/50/80-200. The 18-55 is my fair-weather friend when you can...

Why I am still using mostly the SEL50? Well, I don't really know, but it happens to be on my camera most of the time. It forces me to look for details in life and in the end, you come to the point...

Did you shoot Raw+JPG? Then you'll be able to recover a lot. If not, well it is the operators fault in that case - not the exposure but that you skipped on providing yourself a backup (raw).

The battery drain of the 100k resistor is negligible. A simple calculation of how much current runs through a 100k resistor: about 10 microAmpere. One week continous ON: 2 milliAmperehours....

Franzel, Alupang does have a Nex and quite an experience using it with FD lenses. That being said, I do not quite share his enthusiasm for the 808 picture shown. Even at this small size, the 808s...

The SEL18-55 is very good from 24-35, ok at 18-24 and rather low quality at 50-55mm. Detailed comparison, among other...

Thanks! I will sent you a PM straight away. The XZ-1 is a compact camera and its limitations drove me to buyng a Nex 5N, worlds apart!
As you noticed, noise even at ISO100 and low margin to...

Hi, to all you promoters of Photo Ninja and Raw Therapee:
I did a simple, unscientific test comparing the results with Photoshop using a problematic file. RT is off-color to me, Photo Ninja has...

Thanks for your responses! I have recovered :-) by now and had the additional idea of making a poster of the shots arraigned in a similar way as on the blog page.

The kit zoom 18-55 is great between 24 and 35 mm. It sucks at 55 but I can live with that (using the SEL50F18 most of the times anyway). Close aperture 1-2 stops and the lens is very good except...

I have had my 5n screen replaced under warranty by Sony Service in Reutlingen after about 3/4 of a year and since then protected it with plastic cover from amazon. No problems, and to me, no glare.

Well, talking about the power of discouragement, it really lets you lose your steam when it catches you unprepared! I recently had the idea to make a photobook about car lights. After I was...

I also missed the body and lens cap. Apparently, if you buy a multi-lens kit, you receive them. The solution is either amazon or ebay where you can get them for 7 Euros including postage. Regarding...

I remember well the complaints about Sony with the 5N: What? No in-camera usb charging? What where they thinking? Now that they have dropped the external charger and allow you to either charge...

AF is alright, but when you do comparison tests you do have to select a fixed AF section, otherwise the multi-AF will probably select different focal points in your scene. If you haven't checked...

Right. Though somehow I enjoy using my SEL50 more than I used to with my film SLR & Minolta 50/1.7. It is a different type of photgraphy, focusing more on less :-) I am tempted to get a 24 mm...

I am having difficulties understanding you.Why is the sensor of the RX100 more efficient? As long as you stick to low ISOs, enough light is enough so you won't see differences, When you start to...

I checked this on another webpage.My thoughts: The same lens mounted on a cropped sensor (smaller sensor area yields the same amount of light as before, but the sensor only captures part of it...
