But USB dock available only for Nikon, Canon and Sigma mounts, isn't it?

Maybe Zeiss just have very strict QA and throws away most of the lenses. That's one reason for high price I guess.

"grabbed from the whole sensor not just a cropped portion" Not a cropped portion, but not the whole sensor either. Just skips some pixels to keep bit-rate in check.

Did I miss something? When did Nokia go bankrupt?

@JadedGamer: Bigger pixels have bigger noise! There is less "light data" per pixel, but also less noise. Therefore, SNR remains the same.

@Eike Welk: check data at sensorgen.info and see that read noise is pretty much the same for D4 and D800. Also look for "Equivalence" article from Joseph James.
@T3: First of all, I mentioned that...

And people actually paid for this...

@Eike Welk: Apparently it's you who don't know what you are talking about. It doesn't matter how much pixels you divide your sensor by. Quantity of light hitting the sensor will not change. As long...

Why would you bring video camera if you're doing photo work?

You can capture more light only if you make your sensor larger.

"There is no need for 21mp at an expense of noise" - I agree. But there is no such expense :P

Probably because consumers don't go shooting video in total darkness.

@Leandros S: I was not talking about file size or processing power needed. I wanted to say that pixel size does not matter for noise performance.
I agree, whole purpose of this sensor is to make...

Thing is - you will not have sensor with 6MP @ a clean ISO51200. Noise is defined only by a sensor technology (such as quantum efficiency) and a total (!) gathered light. Yes, bigger pixels indeed...

I agree, can't see the point of this device. Resolution is too low (even compared to cheap printers) for any decent result, and price is too high for just fun.
Real negatives beat those two points...

@dccdp: I Agree with you on Meego, but making Android phone that will be somewhat different and appealing than billion other devices on the market is not easy. Just because Android market is big,...

@MdNvS: Why not? What's the difference to me what brand name is printed on the phone?

Android market is already occupied by Samsung, HTC and Sony. What's the point being another player? If Nokia had gone with Android they'd sink to the point where even Microsoft wouldn't wanted them.

Nokia had whole department working on symbian and they couldn't make competitive OS. I think it was a good decision to stick with WP.

@Comitant: And always using zoom can easily make you lazy. Some people prefer photos with well balanced thought-out perspective over hasty snapshots, even if that means missing the moment.
No photo...
