The RX100Ii is 41g heavier and 2.4mm thicker.   These changes are quite significant, and may take the camera from being "shirt-pocketable" to "almost shirt-pocketable"--in other words, close but no...

It might still be worth it if the sensor, while the same size as in the original, is an upgraded/tweaked design, with improved dynamoc range and better high ISO performance.  The flip-out LCD is...

If shirt-pocketability is not a requirement, then the Sony NEX F3, Canon EOS -M, and Micro 4/3 cameras from Olympus and Panasonic, all of which have larger sensors than the RX-100, are...

Any indication of size/weight? If it's any larger/heavier (by more than a miniscule amount) than the RX100, that's a deal-breaker for me.  I carry the RX100 in my shirt pocket.  If that's no longer...

Although I prefer the look of 3:2--which has no effect on the resolution of the image that remains after in-camera cropping--I normally shoot 4:3 and crop afterwards.  For me, the main advantage of...

I have an original (metal mount) 50/1.8, but I much prefer the 40mm f/2.8--sharper at f/2.8 than the 50mm, and I like the wider angle of the 40mm. With the high-ISO performance of the 6D, having...

I had the E-PL5 for a couple of days, and returned it for the E-M5.  Nothing against the E-PL5--nice enough camera, but if you buy the EVF, as I know I eventually would have, the price is very...

This was taken in a modelling setup that was to demonstrate flash, but I used the 6D/40mm without flash, at ISO3200, f/2.8, 1/125, so it represenst fairly low light. Having said that, the 40mm f2.8...

Very cute, indeed.  I would be inclined to crop it to eliminate the bright part of the background (and a bit off the top, too). Bob

For someone with the assortment of lenses you have, purchase of the 40mm f/2.8 has to be based on want not need--and, yes, the appeal of the small size and low weight has to enter into it.  I have...

I've owned the original 50mm f/1.8 for a number of years (before the the DSLR age) and have never been very fond of it: slow to focus and sharpness not as good as I had hoped.  I bought a 40mm...

I had one of the early 24-105s that had the "heavenly light" flare problem but was otherwise fine.  Canon recalled this lens and replaced it with a modified version.  It did not have the flare...

I'm having a great time with the EF-40mm f/2.8 on the 6D.  I did not shoot the photo below as a demonstration of the selective DOF available with this lens, but it seems to me like a good...

Nice shots.  The one of the dragonfly is particularly impressive. Bob

I was going to say that the picture seemed rather fuzzy, but I looked at the corresponding image in your gallery (Large size) and it looks much sharper, more contrasty there.  I really don't trust...

This is one of the most frequently asked questions, and there's no single "right" answer.  Unless you intend to make professional use of your pictures where you must have the best possible IQ, the...

Thanks!  Although there are faster primes available at or near this focal length, they're bigger/heavier, and MUCH more expensive.  F/2.8 would be considered fast for a zoom.  It's a full stop...

I've recently discovered the EF-40mm f/2.8 STM lens, and I'm absolutely delighted with its performance on the 6D.  I have a good assortment of lenses, ranging from the Sigma 15mm fisheye to the...

"Beautiful" is the right word! Bob

If the camera has IBIS, that would go against Panasonic's rejection of this technology because of its supposed inferiority to OIS..  They'll have to eat a large slice of humble pie--or claim that...
