I think he meant the barrel-look, not optical specs or any other technical details.

This barrel look is common with mirrorless lenses - NEX, 1, 43rd...

I respect the OP's opinions. All of the opinions are valid, especially from artistic point of view. However, artistic is not the only reason we love what we love. Some people buy car because it is...

It's a Zeiss, not Samyang. Owh, and it's an autofocus Zeiss.

I'd speculate that Fuji version has both electronic and physical aperture. There's not many manual-aperture only lenses nowadays.

So Squidward's eyes are BSI?

Covered by warranty, I hope.

I'll go for third party offering. Cheaper.

14 bit RAW in 3 fps. If you ever record a video, DSLR heats up pretty fast. I'm far from saying this hack is useless, but there's a reason for a camera that was not designed for video to heat up in...

I recommend you to try manual exposure. From my experience(well, one or two occasions..) none of the metering patterns can meter the moon correctly. You may have to make two or three...

Split circle focusing screen.

Well, that is true. In ideal lighting(studio for example), the benefits of RAW are not significant, if any. But lighting is not always ideal. Sometimes you have to pull detail from shadows or...

It's doable, but then the maximum ISO will be lower because they have to glue an ND filter to the sensor. I think the logic behind this is you can use ND filter to simulate lower than sensor's base...

DxO rates sensor. Camera's overall performance may differ.

No demand. That's it.

Maybe not. If they have that kind of money, they are pretty good in making money. I think their "heads" are just fine.

I don't think 'reserve slower for future' is the only reason they locked this feature down(but I don't reject the idea either!). Think about computer overclocking, it's doable, but risky. Any sane...

Sony has a full fleet of professional video camera equipment. If you want better video camera, get the FS-700.

Probably GIMP. But I'm not 100% sure. It can uses PS Brush though. I am very sure about that.

Never say never.. hehehe. I heard that 16-bit GIMP is coming, so maybe it can replace PS for most of non-pro users.
