@qwertyasdf - what makes you think the fastest of the bunch is still slow? A and B being faster than C does not mean A=B.

The review is in progress. As you can see, the studio testing is done, but that's only a small fraction of the complete review.

We're focusing on finishing it as soon as possible, but it's not a...

The Ricoh is 1/3EV darker than expected at any given ISO. But that's a very minor difference. I doubt the X100S will be off by more than 1/3rd - it's extremely rare.

By 'performance' I mean both its advantages and limitations. But I'll go into more detail on that when I've had time to finish the Ricoh review and write the Sigma article.

I agree - a fixed 28mm (even one like the Ricoh that offers a 35mm equiv crop mode), is not nearly the same thing as shooting with a 35mm equiv. camera.

Sigma illustrates this point nicely by...

The X100S review is under way and a couple of us will focus on finishing that as soon as possible.

Clear your cache and reload - a few gremlins at our end. I think I've fixed it now.

MX-1 will be reviewed - it's just started.
