Say what?  The 14-45 is generally considered to be a very good, very sharp lens.  I've not seen anything that indicates the 12-50 is as good as the 14-45, IQ wise.   In fact, most of the reviews /...

The above sounds quite reasonable.  A 7 year old first grader won't understand intellectual property law and copyrights like a high school senior should.  But, he or she would understand "let's not...

You might want to learn to use the internet (and DPReview in particular) yourself, before making snarky remarks to others.  MaxTux's post was clearly labeled "In reply to Doug".  So, you just...

I just checked Amazon; a GX1 with the regular style kit zoom (not the pancake x zoom) 14-42 lens is on sale for $449.  Fulfilled by Samy's Camera. Also: the new Sony NEX F3 was going for that same...

I totally agree with Moti.  Your willingness to help your friend is laudable, but from the questions you are asking it is obvious that you are not at all prepared to be a wedding photographer. By...

Assuming that this thread is for real, and not a joke: are you going to be THE photographer for the wedding, or just a friend taking a few snapshots to help augment those that the professional will...

I don't want to come across as negative since it's wonderful that you and your daughter have a hobby you enjoy together, but from what I can gather we are talking about a little girl who is not yet...

Vlad, it is I who should be thanking you.  I hadn't realized one could set ISO to "Auto" in M mode til I read your original post.  When it wouldn't work for me initially, I did a bit of research on...

What Vlad says is correct, but with the following caveats:  You cannot select Auto ISO in M mode unless you have FIRST gone in to the "Cogs E" menu, scrolled down to the ISO-Auto entry, and...

I would be happy if Panasonic or Olympus would make a camera with a sensor the size of the Sony RX100, in an XZ-2 or LX7 sized body...with the control buttons and dials that the LX7 has.

Title says it all.   Go to the "Gearshop" icon at the far right of the DPReview page and scroll down till you find it.

I've sold a fair amount of camera gear on Amazon and it has without exception worked out quite well. They have the stock photos, descriptions, and specs available for just about anything you'd be...

Your posting it here has made me aware of a type of scam I had previously not even thought about.  Since I both buy and sell photography gear from time to time on eBay, I found your post very...

Actually, the people who do macro photography have excellent luck chasing bugs with a tripod; go over to the Macro and Still Life forum and ask them.  Also ask them about the geared heads and rails...

The title says it all

Peter On both your posts, you seem to have input detailed text below your DPReview signature.  Since the default is to "hide signature", I could not read your posts in their entirety until I...

Picking up on your comment about not spending too much on something which you may not need: buying an SLR doesn't automatically give you the ability to immediately start taking wonderful photos....

+1 for Bill's comment.  Start with something relatively inexpensive that meets the requirements for the class.  Take the class; get out and shoot a lot of photographs.  Even if you buy "only" an...

This a bad assumption.  I have an A57 that has only been used indoors, and for a few shots off my condo balcony on calm temperate days.  I would never ever THINK of opening the mirror "in the...
