I'm a huge fan of Pentax bodies, and this leaked K-50 looks very nice.  The real problem is that Pentax has raised it's prices on lenses to such an extreme levels that they are no longer...

On the other hand, the P7700 is not at all pocketable and for many the whole reason to use a small sensor compact is for portability with good IQ.  And if you are going to be mounting large SB900...

Looks nice, except I can't understand the back thumb rest which is totally smooth.  I prefer the textured thumb rest on the K-30.   As far as all the negative K-30 design posts, the K-30 design...

That's Hogan's opinion.  But he doesn't mention how companies are going to create OVF without a Pentaprism or reflex mirror.  Or does he intend that all photographers, pro and amateur should use...

You mean the Nikon 1 "blunder" that has Nikon in third place worldwide in mirrorless?

Or did you mean the Nikon 1 "blunder" of creating the only MILC in the world that has decent AF tracking and...

It's the same Sony 16 mp Exmor, but I believe the 12-bit is more a result of the DNG RAW format vs the PEF RAWs files from the K-5.   I remember reading on DxOMark that the 12-bit RAWs essentially...

With an overall score of 54, the best "compact" for IQ that DxOMark has ever tested.  Note that this does not include large sensor compacts like the Coolpix A and X100.  But with one point higher...

With a total score of 78, the Ricoh GR placed third out of all compacts that DxOMark has tested.  Not too shabby.   Excellent color depth and DR scores.  Really impressive.   Side note:  My...

Autofocus: Yes

Sensor design innovation are "real innovations" if new technologies (X-Trans, Foveon) improve performance in some way. And this is true even if laypeople don't happen to think so.

IMO, the GX1 is one of the nicer rangefinder type bodies in m43.  It has a wonderfully solid feel, a deep grip (probably the best of any rangefinder-style camera in m43), robust metal buttons, a...

So you can't get quality 8x10 prints from a 12 mp 1/1.7" compact? You...

Posts do vanish from time to time.   I've made long, detailed posts with careful links, embedded images and references.  When I click "Post" it just vanishes.  Poof.     This vanishing post had...

The X20 images look a bit softer compared to the MX-1 in both JPEG and RAW. The MX-1 also has extremely fine grain structure at higher ISO vs X20.

But subtle differences viewed at 100% are...

Actually I would disagree that m43 and APS-C mirrorless have obsoleted the high end compact as the huge popularity of the RX100 or S100 demonstrates. If you shoot at or around base ISO as most...

Dude, nobody asked you. My comment above receive way more upvotes than any of your comments here, so stfu.

No, you are over analyzing it too much. Even in the digital era, to say that there is no such thing as a professional photographer today is not accurate at all.

If anything you have more...
