The A1 samples look impressive if you pixel peep. "Regular" mom and pop type people don't do it too often.  To me, the A1 look more digital while the Xtrans samples look more like film.  If only A1...

How did you equalize the WB in post processing? Did you pick the same Kelvin number? The slight difference in color could be very well be a slight difference of only a few K degrees

They don't have to. How many people are willing to fork over $2k for a marginal increase in quality? I'd rather spend the money on lenses.

On Leica forum I wrote a similar letter asking Leica Germany to consider selling the M9 for $999 and the Elmarit 28mm for $499 or, both as a package for $1199. Hopefully those Germans come back to...

Honestly, those f2 samples are horrible.

Great written review. Care to share the settingus you used for the B&W photos? Raw, jpegs out of the camera, how much post processing! They all have the Leica type crispness which I'm never able to...

On mu-43.com there are three brand new GF3's for $100 shipped and paypaled. $100 for a brand new body, never touched or powered. The 14-42 lens usually sells for $60-65.  For a used one with the...

Funny, but I had numerous bad experiences with Amazon. A couple of months ago I ordered an Olympus 60mm macro and in the box, among the regular papers it was the receipt of the previous owner that...

Man, calm down! You might have a heart attack. People are free to express their opinion about Adobe business model. If you feel it's cheap, please pay more so they charge less the rest of us. To me...

Thats your opinion. The average enthusiastic amateur is interested in a viewfinder and weather sealed body more than the latest, newest and nicest. Your three points describe the average Joe that...

oh, boy, I thought I've heard it all on dpreview. So, you're pictures will be sharper if you compose through a tiny hole than an LCD?  Let me guess! Only amateurs use the LCD. The dpreview pro's...

Tons of 17mm's on fleabay for $439 and they don't even sell. To get rid of it fast, one should sell it for $410-420. Once you pay the eBay fees, Paypal fees and shipping you barely pocket $340-350...

The P5 doesnt have a VF. If you want one ugly hump you can spend $300 for an external viewfinder. Thats about $1300 for a P5 with a VF. Factor in the tax if you buy from Oly and your grand price is...

Olympus must think they are dealing only with idiots pricing a VFless body for $1k. They are not Leica to afford to ask such a big premium. Actually they are almost bankrupt

I don't particularly know the DPxM cameras, though I have one and don't intend to open it but I had the same problem with a DP2. Once you remove the back you'll realize the sockets are between the...

Number 4 would look great in B&W

The best I've seen in a while. Finally something different than cats, dogs, babies, flowers and poorly shot landscapes. The light reminds me of Rembrandt paintings. Really great work.

While your image is ok, with a Merrill the detail in the house would have been unreal even wide open at 2.8. I have both, the DP1M and 2M and I'm always amazed by the detail these cameras output....

It was sarcasm. SPP is plenty good for most tasks. I remember years ago I assisted someone in a dark room to develop and do some prints. It would take the guy 2-3 hours for a 36 slides film. These...

because everybody on Dpreview is a PRO and PRO's never use anything but Lightroom
