Adobe's pricing is cunningly misleading: what if, after a future 'upgrade' of the cloud software, your hardware no longer has enough power to run it? Is Adobe going to upgrade our hardware too, for free? Of course not! At least, in the 'old' system, I had the choice not to upgrade and forfait to hardware costs.

I have come to the same conclusion. I do feel that their pricing is way to high.

I meant Photoshop Elements.

Btw, corporate rip off! Opensource servers will be very busy in the months to come!

Yep, I like Photoshop a lot. It can do a lot more than exposure and contrast adjustment. Dpreview should take a closer look at it before writing such a deregatory comment.

I too am very impressed by these specs. The GH3 has a stronger body, but the G6, at this price, is a very powerful tool indeed. Love the video specs, by the way!

So glad dpreview is reminding us on a weekly basis that one can only make artistic photos with an iPhone! plug plug plug

I like this because it shows the reality of street life.
What I like less:
1) some subjects are missing their feet due to bad framing
2) the reflection of the flash on walls and glass
I consider these distractors; get rid of those faults and you get studio quality street photography indeed!

I'm considering the video mode only. Put an adapter ring on the GH3, and you get access to Canon, Nikon, vintage lenses...

I 'd say the 5DMKIII is an improvement, but an expensive one...

Compare this with the GH3.
Panasonic listened carefully to the GH2 users, and then produced a revolutionary camera that is kicking ass as a video camera. The GJ3 easily is in the same league as the 5DMIII but costs only half as much.

As for the 700D, there is absolutely nothing in the image quality department that would even make me consider replacing my now rusty 550D.

Of course, you get a lot of camera for its money, but the 650D or the 600D is a wiser option.

I only now looked at its price... wow... what an insult to common sense!

Hey, at least you're a real person, making an effort to reply.

@unbelievable
Being a language teacher myself, I'm kind of sensitive to usage of words. As a matter of fact, I ran your writing through a 'keyword density tool'. Here are the results (based on the analysis of page 1 and 2 of the article):
iPhone: 97 times
smartphone: 16 times
Android: 8 times
These are FACTS, not wishes are whatever. If I were a cynic, I could add that Connect is getting paid by Apple to produce these articles. But I'm not...

I have the same feeling expressed by others: in this 'subtle', devient, fiendish way, this article suggests the iPhone is the only portable device that allows to take decent pictures - which is clearly untrue.

In your article all words with possitive connotation are about the iPhone, while all words with negative connotation (eg 'lacked'; 'high light clipping' etc) are in the paragraphs about smartphones.

Funny how you don't realise that in the long rung your biased apprauch undermines the credibility of the author AND of Connect and dpreview...

Anyhow, I have noticed that dpreview has changed the article a bit, and re-worded it. I guess this proves my criticism was rigth.

Why doesn't dpreview mention the price in euro? Isn't continental Europe a big enough market?
I have found a retailer selling this lens for € 949,00
Where I live, in Belgium, I would use the expression 'without breaking the bank' for a selling price of, hm, let's say € 100. These lenses do exist, the 'nifty fifty' being one example.
I have no problem with expensive glass. I understand that some people, especially pros, are prepared to invest in glass in that price range. My issue lies with the choice of words of the reviewer, who clearly has lost connection with the real world out there and normal standards of living.

Not all L glass is weather sealed.

"a top notch fast 35mm autofocus prime without breaking the bank"
Priced £900, the author obviously must be making a fortune writing for DPreview! This lens is priced at a working man's monthly income. I wouldn't call that cheap! Please think twice before you write this kind of thing!

Hardly pocketable and it comes in only one color... but besides that, this must be the best camera to hit the market!

This is a pro camera; Love it where he talks about the removable audio box. "Just release the four screws."
They also show us the future of memory cards: 128gb SxS cards and 2x512GB 'something else' for raw recording.

As today it is Haloween, I'm sure this camera will bring the shivers to the competition!

something is horribly wrong with this video (stuttering playback and screaming sound); I don't think this video was aimed for the public.

edit: oops, now it works;

He's a blogger, really?
So he's no photographer?
Then who cares?
