Olympus current 16MP cameras are awesome...but they lack a mirror which many still like (I think I'd prefer an EVF). 70D just tries to catch up on live view / direct focusing, nobody claimed it...

Because it's a fairly wide lens...telephotos NEED stabilization, but as you go wider, it is needed less and less (think about it). If you are taking pictures of people, they move, and...

As a follow up to the msg I just posted.

I just compared my old Rebel 450d/XSi to the new 700d/t5i (in the Comparometer). At ISO 1600, the XSi actually looks better in the tricky red fabric...

What I don't understand is that the Nikon 5200 for example is highly rated by DxoMark, but when I look at high ISO shots in the Comparometer tool, I think the various Canon 18MP sensors fare well...

I looked at Steve's text image of the military cannon using S100 and S110. His S110 image is slightly overexposed, and S100 a bit underexposed perhaps, so it's hard to fairly compare them. His...

I agree  it's only valid to compare them at the same zoom and aperture settings. The "Comparometer" tool is the best way to compare different cameras at different ISO settings.  All 3 camera models...

RX100 is hands down the best camera...the sensor is multiple times larger than P&S cameras. Check any site which compares them objectively. It is expensive, but I don't recall you asking for "best...

I looked at all 3 in the Comparometer, and the S95 is not noticeably better, if anything I think the S100 at ISO 200 and 800 is a tiny bit better.  Background has slightly less noise/grain and...

I found it odd too. I figure the 20MP will be used in a new 6 series - product differentiation.

Olympus sensors (made by who?) have somehow caught up with NEX's 16MP sensor...I find it amazing how good the latest Olympus cameras are. I surmise Sony will jump ahead at some point and usually...

I know...old cameras tend to have old threads.  It doesn't make sense risking a $500+ camera for  a hobby, so we often buy 1 generation older.  I've been using a Fuji F20/F30 on my plane for eons...

One thing not mentioned is that the cheaper camera is around 1-2 ounces lighter. I would use it on an R/C airplane and R/C quad-rotor, so weight and image quality are the important specs for me. I...

it's amazing light for how long it is (I have the first version).

I find it odd that stepper motors are preferred...still can't get my arms around that. I'll take it for granted that they are...

I find that I often shoot it at 55mm also....useful versus 70mm.

We (sort of) had a digital camera in high school in 1987 or 1988. It took many seconds to scan the images...around 20-60 seconds, so you had to sit very still. :-) I can't recall what it was,...

Kodak DC360 was competitive and I almost bought it, but ended up buying the Olympus C3000 ($800 for 3MP). That was 1999, but I had followed digital cameras for a year before buying one - when the...

The Oly Pen's sensor is amazing (and Panasonic uses the same exact sensor?)... I never thought they'd be competitive, but (after years of Canon not moving forward on IQ), they (m43) seem to have...

Canon EF-S 0-22 is an awesome lens in every way, and my camera (XSi/450d) doesn't have any cheating (lens corrections) in the firmware. It's one reason I am tempted to buy another Canon DSLR.

Nikon seems OK, they just used the smaller sensor is all. I assume the new Sony backlit 1" sensor will be used on the next generation.

Also, obviously the 70D sensor will be in the next "M"...
