vodanh1982: E-P5 17 f/1.8 vs Nex-6 24 f/1.8, which one is better?

Kendunn: Tough sell, as by these comments. What is really going to be tough is people are mad and will make do for years with CS6 and those years will be lean for Adobe. I see this happening- no one will be buying by the month but holding on to what they have. In the mean time this will open up the market for developers and before people outgrow CS6 the competition will have something for $250 that is a step up from CS6 and Adobe will be out in the cold

D1N0: What would we say when Nikon would target snipers in a marketing campaign? Blow out the infidels brains from a safe distance of 1.5 miles with the new Nikon head shot targeting scope.

Thinking out loud: Trophy hunters are serial killers who get great pleasure out of destroying living creatures - the "trophy" is just a convenient excuse for their blood lust. If you doubt this, watch videos of the "hunt". They stalking their prey from a distance (the animals do not sense them) using telescopic sights on their rifles,they slaughter them with a high velocity bullet. The interesting bit is just how excited they get - orgasmic in fact, they rush over to the kill and marvel at just how magnificent the dead animal is. It does not occur to them that it was magnificent until they brutally end its life!
Perhaps the only good thing about this is that these morons are killing animals and not humans - as far as we know.

cprevost: Looks like maybe the Chinese are entering the market. This will be interesting. If what usually happens holds true the cameras will suck at first but be cheap. They'll rapidly improve though and quickly drive prices down. If they make some reasonable lenses at good prices this could be good news for micro four thirds users. I doubt they'll compete with the high quality optics from Panny and Oly but if they can make something reasonably close for cheap prices they'll have a hit. Imagine a slew of optically good Chinese lenses for a hundred bucks or so.

RDMPhotos: I am not taking sides but For all those that are defending Made in China products by pointing out things like the iPhone and some M.Zuiko lenses are made there, you should also know that those company's send their own employees over there (dozens) to over see production and quality assurance of their products before they get exported. Yes it increases costs a little (which is just passed on to us in the retail prices they charge), but still with the cheep labor costs it's still inexpensive compared to being made in most other countries..

Remember ..It's like when Zeiss had Sigma make its Jenna Zoom lenses and had their German guys over seeing production, but later when sigma released their own, less expensive, lenses in the same Focal length and speed, the optics were not always good depending on the copy you got. I know more examples too, like Minolta making their Fisheye lens for Leica, but I don't want to write any more..

.......Quality control makes a huge difference....

tkbslc: See, it only took the Chinese a week to figure out how to make money with the Kodak name in Digital. Kodak could have done this 3-4 years ago.

Aperture Creations: Winning first prize would be the one I'd want! "Distagon T* 2,8/15 ZM"

Cy Cheze: OK, so what would the anti-Time critics pick a the 10 best news photos of the year? Very likely, the images would be other views of disaster, mayhem, rescues, or mourning. When your neighbor is berieved, do you pick a shot of a touchdown pass as "the most memoriable image of 2012"? Or should that image be a sonogram of an expected Royal heir? Images of flags, steeples, and mother? A dwarves' cottage and Bambi by a silver stream?

Good things happened in 2012, surely, but do they allow for imaginative photographic depiction? Will any rank as "important events" after 10 years?

Heavens, think of the temerity if Time ventured to pick a "Camera of the Year"? Oh, the carnage that would ensue!

DickyUK: not many there i consider that interesting ....... top ten "Photojournalist " photos maybee but TOP TEN photos not really ........

lazy lightning: Plain awful. Fred Miranada Forums here we come!

icexe: Those knobs on top look like they would be hard to use.
