howardroark: Really? I have to follow this guy's Instagram feed? I have to see what a guy who wears the signature of the highest class of dbag, the aviator glasses, is doing with his girlfriend? I have to find out what this tool's next excuse to take a picture of his girlfriend's butt is? I really need to know that a pretentious, self-involved, Instagram using excuse for a "photographer" is jetsetting around the world with his girlfriend? Why? So I can see what the latest combination of facial hair, sunglasses, and hipster tshirt is the stereotype for an egocentric jerk? That's the only valuable aspect of these photographs I can find.

Hi Howard,
That is a good reply, and I guess should have been your origianal one (IMHO)
I get what you are saying by this last reply.
I will be enjoying some simple photography this weekend, I hope you can enjoy the same.
All the best.

Well well howard,
I was always told that jealousy is a curse.
And your origianl reply smacks of just that.
I loved the images as they made me smile, and it was just "interesting" to see the pair involved at the end.
The set was fun, great to look at and I admired that the guy and his girlfriend took the time to create something that others (except you) would enjoy.

It sounds like you want a pair of those aviator sunglasses and would just LOVE to fit (and look as good) into one of those "hipster" T shirts.

Enjoy peoples creativity howard, dont put your life into dumb replies like you have with this.

This is a well deserved win.
It shows 2 amazing pieces of older technology that work just as the manufacture intended.
Beautiful shot of a beatuiful aircraft taken with a beautiful camera.
Well done :-)

On Sony NEX-6 Hands-on Preview preview (229 comments in total)
In reply to:

Shobeir: I want to buy a mirror-less camera and I am thinking of Nex6 or Olympus OM-D E-M5. I had nex 5R and I was not happy with the lack of viewfinder while the screen was not useful in sunny days. I know the Olympus OM-D E-M5 has great performance and quality but it is too bulky. Any idea?

Hi,
I have personaly used a NX6 and used the viewfinder for the majority of the shots.
All I can say is WOW! The image through that viewfinder is amazingly stunning! Much better than my A700, 7D and any other (except Sony A65 & A77) DSLR's I have used. Do your self a favour and take a look, you will purchase it JUST for the view finder :-).

On Roundup: Enthusiast Zoom Compact Cameras article (400 comments in total)
In reply to:

pizzolog: Tues, Dec 18, 2012
I agree with topstuff, The Sony RX100 is truly in a different class.
In spite of the fact all of these cameras and The RX100 are put together in this same article, dpReview also agrees with the premise topstuff puts forth, dpReview will not allow the RX100 to be compared with any of the other eight cameras on the RX100 conclusion page.
The Sony RX100 is an engineering marvel.
Sony has performed the unimaginable astonishingly well, but apparently blundered in doing the easy things badly, such as:
Vague clickless control dial
Unpredictable flash metering
Lack of ND filter
No lens filter option
Confusingly playback stills, MP4 and AVCHD
Irksome lag zoom in playback.
No hard copy manual.
These apparent quirks, on paper at least, seem to keep the RX100 from being the GEM it should be.
I hope that the RX200 overcomes all of these relatively simple shortcomings; then perhaps I would not mind spending $649.
The $299 Lumix LX7 is the better purchase and a great camera.

I completely agree. Sony does have a habit of making something that should be perfect, "almost" perfect.
Has anyone had a good look at some of the parts of the comparison test?
The Queens face is a shocker, the Kodak logo is soft as, but there are some other gems that are very superior IQ?
So going by this I am not so sure about overall IQ.

Saying that, I would love to give one a go :-)

Badgeneering at it's BEST.
Buy 2 Panasonics keep one, give one as a gift.
Nothing wrong with a Panasonic branded cam in your hand.
Get the same IQ and make someone else happy in the process.
PLAIN and SIMPLE rip off!
