Does it really help for the overwhelming most of us who view our pictures on just average laptops and sharing them on the web or printing them on inkjets that cannot come close to showing all the color? Would certainly be nice if it could be appreciated and I guess in commercial work it might. Am I right?
grafli: They don't have to make it in Canon Mount. ;-)
Well, I see nothing to induce me to buy it. Nobody wants to develop decently fast long glass for APS, it appears. Every stop basically doubles the price and so does going from APS to FX, like boats a foot longer, and I just do not understand the problem. Surely there are more APS cameras sold than full frame by now.

So is this made for APS only or not? My biggest problem with APS is that there have been no APS telephotos for the mount. Even Pana has the 100-300 4/3 lens that is pretty darned good. I am really tired of hauling around full frame teles for birds and wildlife on DX cameras. Useless weight and expense.
Looks amazing to me and if anything better than my first Canon digital, the D30 I paid a ton for. The progress in sensors is astounding. It is getting to where the only real advantage of the larger sensors is to blur backgrounds.
Where is the NX-20?
Mr Fartleberry: You'd think Adobe would try to encourage more licensed seats rather than drive people away, eh Grumpy?
Yes, Corel's founder almost bankrupted them years back in folly and mismanagement and this is a gift from heaven for them to seize the moment and get its presence back in a big way. I am not sure if PaintShop Pro does raw picuteres or not but either way, they need to get with it. I always liked Paintshop and would gladly return.
stephenmelvin: Yet another camera without a viewfinder. Useless.
It is either an optical VF for me or no sale. I am not that steady and between the light and the shakes, a good picture is impossible sans a VF. Sony needs some good primes and teles for NEX. Samsung will likely give us a NX 20 and some lenses. I will wait.
Love it! Somebody is really listening and I will be one of the first to order one. These non-viewfinder things are to me absurd and I just cannot handle them. This looks to be a very upscale enthusiast camera, just perfect for me.
Yes, as nice as they are, the lack of a viewfinder is a total zero for me. I cannot stand this current crop of LCD screen-only cameras. They are prone to movement artifacts and seeing anything in bright light is all but impossible. Would not have one at any cost.
jj74e: Hm...I always see stuff on their website about their Fujinon lenses being world class, and I always wonder if that's just marketing or if their lenses really were high quality at some point.
Yes, an interchangable lens camera with a real viewfinder. I think Samsung has it right in their Nx10 series but lacks lenses. A good EVF, hot shoe and lots of lenses for me. I cannot stand any of these compacts with no viewfinders. Will not touch one.
jmmgarza: This beautiful camera is another piece of jewelry for the rich and decadent. Precious few will see service in journalism. I would love to have one.
I will have to hope for a professional MFT camera and what few additional Leica lenses will be offered for it. Of course, some people would say that "professional" and MFT are by design, incompatible. Still, I believe I would be OK with that. Just can't justly, much less afford a M9.
Hard to believe the talent here and the quality of these new cameras. Keep it up, very good work.
Gee, what a neat picture!
All of these show as well as the art talent, the vast improvement in sensors in the past few years. DPR's gallery of the Olympus E-PL1 shows amazing high ISO response at 3200, vastly improved over my E3, which is comparable only at ISO 800.
I believe that is a stunning image--tells a lot without showing much. Sort of ethereal. That G11 must be a vast imporovement over my G5 a few years back. Of course, your technique is by far the most important thing.
