The internet seen as a „free platform“ for all like today will mutate. There will be paid exclusive platforms, unbreakable secure platforms, and a regional separated mix within global power centers...

If you rent SW you lose control forever. Take online access for surfing only, reading news, simple mail; and keep your files hooked off. Convert your pictures with excellent camera vendor’s SW into...

One fares good in life to listen. Uneasy and contrarian views give hints to make better decisions. And APS-C and FF are things to consider strongly.

Also in my opinion: Oly is on the death row,...

Hi Photomonkey
Apple still got huge cash reserves. Even after Steve Job’s departure they got financial muscle.

Oly almost were bankrupt. They do no more have the resources (blown into the wind...

Sensors today are driven by software algorithms, not much room left for market diffentiation to Oly, therefore the design limbo. Olympus now with the EM-1 remind me of a Ford-T car model with a...

I admire the courage and the bold move to exploit a smartphone as user interface. Android 4.x is quite mature now.

I take many pictures with the Samsung Note 2 while on the move, but – do not get...

This man looks happy. The camera marriage is his best choice.

Mostly I try to avoid the standard zooms. I just got the Zeiss and would mount it with an adapter, doing manual focus range in the city walk around or landscapes.

Great camera, an extra Zeiss like the 21mm lens on it. One cannot buy a better quality/price combination to date.

Congratulations to Sony, starting to lead the pack in a smart way.

People moan: pictures overexposed, boring or else. What do you want: a shot with the Nikon 800E, everything correct bit by bit. This is boring.

Here with the daughter’s pictures, there are...

Fun, imagination, and careful positioning. Made my day.

And even worse, mostly I watch pictures on the monitor!

Analog has got a chemical emulsion which shows an irregular pattern known to the human eyes. Digital is <yes> or <no> – bits. They do not demand imagination, everything seems in correct squares...

As I cannot get fully rid of the „GAS“-syndrome, I have arranged myself to live in peace with the addiction. One cannot optimize everything in life. At least, good cameras and lenses with great...

A camera body is just a frame taking body. A Praktica for USD 20 can do the same job like a Leica body. But a Leica lens sometimes was spectacular. I have mounted a 35mm R-lens to Canon FF and...

Cameras are concrete. High maintenance women turn to the best offer instantly. Better to avoid, sometimes hard to detect.

To Provia_fan:

I have all major SLRs and still using them. All of them operating as the sunken Japanese brands like a Miranda. Cut from a block of metal. Leica is nothing against this. I am in IT...

Great to hear this. I have many of those items sleeping in the drawers. Trying to resell them costs too much effort. It is good that we stand to our traits.

Very good advice, NZ Scott, will help me. Sometimes you notice during use that there is still much room left. And it is hard to make the right decision up front by just reading reviews. Mostly, I...

Leica should be a case study for stand-up comedians in late night shows. How to produce useless things for rich people making poor photos.
