Maybe not, but I did, and it's still a massive overstatement.  The Nikon 1 on-sesnsor pdaf is fully comparable with an inexpensive dslr in strong light.   In low light it is slower, but not orders...

Glad you're liking it.   I like mine, too, though would love better designed controls.   If you shoot mainly in auto mode that isn't as much of an issue.   As you get more comfy with it you may...

Oh, OK, slightly overripe?  Apples just bring worms to mind.  At exactly the same price from B&H, $996, with the 18-105mm zoom, I'd take the D7000 over the D5200 any time, unless I valued the very...

What Juck is getting at is that the 100D/SL1 was designed to work with standard dslr lenses that are mounted well out from the sensor. The EOS-M has a very different design, with the lens mount...

One minor error. The Olympus 9-18mm is not the smallest wide angle zoom available. The Nikon CX (Nikon 1) 6.7-13mm is slightly shorter and lighter, as would be expected with a smaller sensor. ...

Oh, right, that would only be all the pros who don't shoot Nikon.   Plenty of them, too.

There are redbuds all the way out here in Northern California, too.   A different species (Cercis occidentalis, the Western Redbud) , but a common springtime sight, and very lovely.   The species...

But be careful, because many tablets come with no memory card slot at all.   If it does have one, it's almost certain to be MicroSD, which can be inserted into an adapter and used in a camera.  ...

So that's a purple gallinule.   I had been wondering what that beautiful bird was.   Your wildlife is so completely different from anything seen in Northern California.   Not that I know our local...

Ugh, a funny alligator.   Now there's an idea.   I like our local innocuous wildlife.   No funny gators for a couple of thousand miles.

Always a good idea, especially since there are very few compacts with viewfinders, and they aren't terribly compact (Canon G15 and G1X, Fuji X20).   The upcoming Panasonic LF1 is small, has loads...

How about none of the above?   Right now the discounted D7000 can be had online for $1000.  It's a much nicer camera than the D5200, though the newer camera offers slightly better image quality.  ...

You're quite welcome.   Glad they had such a timely promotion.  The 5R is a much more comfortable camera to hold than the 3N, has much nicer controls with the touchscreen, and has the WiFi.   The...

Many with specialized needs like macro use one of the adapters for dslr lenses and then buy a real macro lens.   Old manual focus macro lenses can be surprisingly cheap.   For NEX Sony makes two...

Better image quality is, I suppose, in the eye of the beholder, but the Nikon has a much more modern, higher resolution sensor that is far less noisy at higher ISO levels.   If noisy low light...

Neither one?   You're comparing a newly released consumer model, the D5200, that is still selling near list price, with a several-year-old prosumer model that is heavily discounted.   The better...

Transferring images to tablets can be a little more complex than it should be.   Most don't have a memory card slot and those that do often have a MicroSD slot, not full SD like a camera.   The USB...

It's just as easy to get the equivalent of 24mm on an APS-C sensor (or any smaller sensor).   It's 16mm, not especially rare, if not as common as 18mm, where most of the kit zooms start, the...

The G10 low light performance is typical.   Newer advanced compacts usually have faster lenses, which does help quite a bit, and newer sensors that are better at low light, but ultimately these are...

Craig, thanks for sharing that.   I love the idea of you slinging your hammock out in the Everglades, rolling out in the morning to catch the critters.   That's dedication.   It's also what makes...
