Steve Huff raves about everything; I like Ming Thein but haven't read his; Ken Rockwell ... seriously ? I did read Thom Hogan's review of it this morning. He said it's overpriced and the AF is...

I hoped to convey that that cynical answer was only a partial view; certainly lenses do have different character and each person has their preferences. Personally, I like the high micro contrast...

Yup, if you're accustomed to FF focal lengths, it does seem easiest to ignore all the multipliers and crops and just treat the body/reducer combo as a small FF camera.

character: a less pretentious alternative to the French "je ne sais pas", as in "I like it. It has a certain je ne sais pas".

Claiming that a lens has great "character" is a way to rationalize (a) spending lots of amounts of money on a lens that gives you diminshing returns (Leica) or (b) spending $1000 on a state of the...

If you're used to APS-C and you understand what an 18-55 gives you without having to convert to a FF equivalent (maybe you've never even used FF or 35mm !) then you want to know what you get when...

When I did more nature photography, I would set out with a bag full of lenses - 17-35 then 50/100/200/400 & TC. I would shoot scenics with almost anything, so I would use them all. I rarely ever...

All good points.
As for IQ, if you compare the graphs on dxomark, the SNR is virtually identical between the 700D and the OM-D. (That speaks well for the smaller 4/3 sensor !) Dynamic range is...

Yup. I've settled on a lineup I like a lot. Two zooms, might pick up a third and/or a teleconverter. Two primes. And I typically carry only 1-2 lenses with me at any time. That's after 25+...

So NEX isn't likely to be a contender, but I get your point.
I'd typed up a reply earlier to your original post and for whatever reason, it didn't go when I submitted it and I lost it.
Anyway, the...

Hoping that's just a bit of hyperbole. Otherwise, it sounds like biting off your nose to spite your face: Nikon doesn't offer the perfect lenses, so I'll use something that's even worse !

I like their sensor tests. They make sense to me. I've never understood the lens tests. Granted, I haven't put a lot of effort into understanding them, but they certainly aren't intuitive. One...

I have not tested a NEX-7 myself (well, I've tried one, but never brought images home to look at). But from all the reading I've done, I'm under the impression that the NEX-7 sensor suffers from...

I see a lot of driving that is gets someone from point A to ponit B, but falls short of good.
It is not bad per se - just off 10% or more.
just so folks don't yell "troll post" - let me go into...

I have no idea whether to give any credence to the rumors of a full frame Sony NEX camera in 2014, but if there is any truth to it, then an affordable LV-only Lecia M mount camera might be a way of...
-
All the more reason to consider a VF, IMO. (I just posted at the bottom of the thread). I found the LCD lousy on my NEX-5 in bright sun, and focus peaking would be difficult - certainly not...
-
The lack of a viewfinder turned out to be one of the biggest turnoffs for my NEX. I bought the NEX-5 2.5 years ago before a trip to Disney, planning on using it as my "carry everywhere" camera. ...

Good point. I'm out of touch in that regard. Software Engineer, been on the web forever, but I'm not on facebook and don't have a mobile phone (at all). I have my smugmug site.
But my wife is...

Out of curiosity, did the A100 satisfy your sports photography needs ? I ask because a CSC isn't really the best choice for sports, but neither is the A100 with kit lenses, so if you were happy...

OK, so if digicams didn't put an end to DSLRs, why would smart phones - which offer subpar cameras, but superior portability and convenience ? Obviously, smart phones are causing digicam sales to...
