  • I imagine Sony will be leading the way with mirrorless 35mm. They have the RX1, they have 35 mm slrs, it is a sensible progression for them. Olympus, on the other hand, needs to focus on m4/3,...

    Not everybody wants big and bulky FF. My m4/3 with 20mm 1.7 or 45mm 1.8 gives me all the image quality I need and I barely feel it when I bring it along.

    It doesn't happen all the time, but it's definitely an issue. I've seen it with my e-pl1.

    Compare the size of a system, and see where you end up- the lenses make a bigger difference. I carry my camera, 4 lenses, filters, spare battery and memory cards, and a mini tripod in a case too...

    I am actually coming to prefer the m4/3 sensor size. I can shoot wide open at f1.7 or 1.8 in lower light and still get enough depth of field, and I can shoot landscapes only stopped down to f...

  • I wouldn't trade the 12-50 for another kit lens. The image quality on all of them is close enough, but the 12-50 goes both wider and longer, is weather sealed, and does better macros. If you want...
  • They look sharp enough to me at the tiny size we can view, but how can you really assess sharpness at 700-odd pixels wide?
  • Some of the shots look a little flat, and colors a little too cool for my taste.

    Still, the sensor lens combination gives good noise performance and is nice and sharp. Shot 18/25 with the plant...

  • This is not a Nikon thing, this is an economy thing.

  • Really nice. A fun way to test edge to edge. See if you can find: - a man with binoculars -a big red 3 - a woman flagging down friends -Green spotted shorts   :P
  • I would be shocked.
  • I think it would have been nice to see a comparison between the Galaxy with optical zoom, and some of the others with crops. Clearly the optical zoom is the main feature of that phone's camera, so...

  • I think that's the way to go. Take a camera like this one, and scale it up till its big enough to cram a 1" sensor in. The size isn't the biggest issue with these as they already aren't pocketable,...

  • This camera really should have an articulating LCD- the minimal size increase would be worth it. People aren't stuffing it in their pants pockets anyway.

    The Nikon p7100 had everything you mention...

  • I don't think it's that simple. The rx100s clearly have the edge over other compacts in the IQ/size ratio, and will have the edge for low light IQ at wide angle. IQ in good light should be close...

  • Maybe if you gave it a try, you'd be pleasantly surprised by the phone shooting experience. Sure, the image quality isn't great, but having a camera with you all the time is great. Liberating. I...

  • Before answering, what can you tell us about his photography background? Has he done it before? Has he ever owned a digital camera? An interchangable lens camera? If he has a foundation, m4/3 is a...
