As such lens flare is caused by stray light rays bouncing between the lens elements before they reach the sensor, just a tiny change of the picture angle can completely eliminate it (or make it...

Actually, all those pictures are very, very good. If I remember correctly, the DPreview found some flare problems at the previous Olumpus lens. If the Pentax lens is identical, then here we go...

In spite of the conclusion that the Coolpix P7700 has a better lens:

"While both cameras produce some of the best photo quality of any small-sensored compacts, we were especially impressed with...

Hi Brian,    Your pictures are simply amazing. And your camera even doesn't have the RAW shooting option. So, any camera in good hands can deliver fantastic results.

In my opinion all the modern digital cameras have pretty good JPEG engines and they generally do not have problems with the WB, exposure control and so on, so shooting the RAW won’t increase the IQ...

Those Japanese programmers are much smarter than you think. I have three cameras, one 7 years old (only JPEG), and two 3 years old (both with the RAW option) and frankly speaking, except occasional...

Well, just continue like that for a while and then your high cholesterol level will take a care of your LBA :-)

Neither Pentax K-30 nor any other DSLR is a replacement of your Panasonic FZ-200. They are completely different cameras. Pictures taken at good light conditions will be almost undistinguishable....

Pictures are nice just I am disappointed with their IQ. At the ISO 800 this camera seems to be (far) worse than my Canon S90. Those’re rather water-coloured paintings than photo pictures. I would...

Hello Raist3d/Ricardo,  You just proved one thing – the sensor size should play just a very little role in the choosing the “right” camera. Your last picture taken at 5000 ISO with the tiny Pentax...

It will be very likely the same sensor, just with a full (20% higher) utilization of the sensor pixels. So, expect the adequate (around 10%) improvement in the resolution, while the noise/colour...

Unbelievably beautiful series. Were you just so lucky, or do you have more such treasures? Can you share them with us?

So in your opinion such a mode has a different use in Leica X1 and Fuji X100s? I do not think so. Just one camera has it implemented better than the other.

Well, maybe the spot is not precisely at the centre, though of course it should be. If it is in my friend's camera shifted to the left (where in the first picture is that white flower), then...

Thank you very much who usefully contributed to my thread. After discussing the issue with my friend he was able to “fix” his problem. He used the spot focus/exposure setting (this was his...

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful country!

Yes I agree with you and actually this might be the case. I am not familiar with the X100s, but if it has such an exposure mode at which the exposure is measured from the same object to which the...

He sent me those pictures from his mac PC, that’s why the EXIF data were lost. But even with the EXIF data present you would not be able to say whether he locked the exposure on the while flower...

But for how much? Close to $2,000?

He is an experienced photo amateur and like me, he has never experienced anything similar before. So, if this camera requires some "trick" to get the right exposure, I (and he) would like to learn....
