Fascinating, both the image and story behind it. This would make a great CD cover or book jacket. Russia's version of Centralia, Pennsylvania. Nice!

Funny how complexity builds on complexity. You need a phone that can display your instruction manuals because feature creep has made it impossible to memorize everything in your camera's 350 page...

I've always liked Olympus products but if there is even the potential of getting blurry shots at 1/160, I'd say all bets are off. I understand DPR tries desperately to balance everything but no...

When I pay for a camera, how it looks is not part of the equation. Especially if the results are superior to a nicer looking camera.

I'd go with a Spiratone or an Aetna Rokunar Skylight. One of the coated ones. Otherwise, Heliopan. They have the coolest name and they cost the most so they must be superior to everything else.

The #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US is unpaid medical debt. That's the price of cheap cameras.

Just one person's opinion but if my fist was bigger than my head, I wouldn't be smiling.

Yeah, but have you ever tried to make a call with a digital back? It's awful. The person sounds like they're underwater, there's a ton of background noise and if either of you is in a car, the...

Because they can get it. For everyone else, there's Lens Rentals.

With the ability to correct most lens flaws, what stands in the way of a really great small (tiny, even) camera is a much better small sensor. Right now, the situation is surprisingly similar to...

The G1X has accurate but very slow focusing. The lens is slow, too. It has no close-up capability at all--the way cameras used to be, when you bought a macro lens and got outstanding macro...

Because of what Andy says above, I don't pay much attention ton what Lloyd Chambers says. In fact, I don't pay at all for his advice although unlike Ken Rockwell, it seems Lloyd Chambers...

This isn't so far-fetched. Too late now, but if they had put a red dot on the G1X and priced it at $999, DPR would have said "While we have considerable reservations about the G1X's quirks there...

A guess would be that a G1X with a faster lens and much more processing speed would be $1200+ and those customers would buy Fuji instead. An improved EOS M is on the way but looks like they're in...

In college, I remember saving up the $300 for a Leica 28mm finder. That would be about $500 today and on the high side even for an outstanding, metal, optical finder. Of course it didn't have...

In a way, the G1X is like the EOS M. Serious image quality in a relatively small package and currently not that expensive. These cameras have not done well because consumers are not willing to...

The Sony is a lovely camera. Looks great, lots of technology and very good image quality for it's size. As the young folks say "I wanted to like it". But the corners are soft at the wide setting....
