the reason

Autofocus at f8, in 2013...

dont ask for such things...if a 24-70 f2.8 is 2100$, how much will a 24-48 f1.8 will be?

Jon in theory that all sounds very nice, but you must know by now that in practice that doesnt hold true. APS C sensors are withing 1/3 to 1/2 stop of ff sensors in noise control, heck, m4/3s...

calm down, sigma always takes a little extra time to make it in alpha mount (for whatever reason). It was the same for the 50-150 f2.8 and various other lenses

its the first f1.8 zoom ever you bunch of whiners. it doesnt matter if its crop or if they used a "speed booster" or not. They did it.
A lot of people sound hurt here. Whats the matter? that f2.8...

and complaining about the method on how they got to it too! It all sounds to me like sour ff owners trying to justify their equipment

so the fact that shutter speeds will be 1 1/3 of a stop faster doesnt matter?

R Butler so the stills side of the omd is also not on par?

Howboutraw im very sorry to dissapoint, but yes fuji very clearly uses noise reduction on their raw files. My xpro 1 files at 3200 look like it has about 30 on the noise reduction slider in...

Timmbits get over yourself and calm down, the camera is smaller than a rebel and has the ergonomics of a full frame. And nobody cares if there isnt a crappy 15 times zoom for mft, but im guessing...

Howboutraw yes but then the 5n image is very soft compared to the omd and gh3 (resolving only around 2200 lines) and the fuji does noise reduction to raw files.sooooo...

4 more mp, much better noise control, nfc, wifi, wireless flash, 4 fn buttons, better jgp engine, and the kit lens is sharper than any other kit lens.
You really dont see this as a massive...

people are amazing...
the entry level model got a 4 mp boost, a 1 stop more if ISO, NFC, wifi, 4 fn buttons, the sharpest kit lens out there (compare it to canon and nikon in dxo mark), a flip...

revenant, thats what i call shooting one self in the foot. putting the same sensor in all the models like oly is a bad move. Youll see, theyll pay for it dearly when the ep4 comes

and canon doesnt churn out a rebel every 3 months? everybody does it

agreed, its ergonomically leagues better than the em5 or just about any slr i have around here

mine locks ae on shutter half press. go on your menu and look for it

talks about the k10 k20 and km. It doesnt mention the k5 anywhere

not applicable?
its actually very truthful comparing the photos.

i dont really dig the d7100, people are mainly right in what theyre saying (about m4/3s) but the above is right. Fuji does apply noise reduction to their RAW files above 1600, and thats sacrilege...
