It's not a real camera. It's a phone with a camera. Makes sense to compare it to other phones with cameras.

Is using a smartphone to take photos NOT photography? Is photography a term that...

If you want a good backpack, buy an actual backpack that has a well designed suspension, and then add the camera padding yourself. Plenty of companies, including the ones listed here like F-stop,...

Rules Rules Rules. There are no rules. Photographers are painters, painters are photographers. Who cares. Do you like the images or not? If not, ok, and if so, ok. Who cares *how* they were...

Great shot! Where did you have the light in that image?

I thought it was a cool idea wrapped in a bad execution. I also think you'd have to embrace the Hipstamatic/Instagram concept to understand why this camera was cool.

I wish Wacom would come out with a pressure sensitive tablet already.

I'm fascinated by the negativity here - it's a defensive reaction to something that challenges you. Don't worry, ignore the Petzval, it won't hurt you or your photography. Nobody is making you buy...

Yes, totally. Photography is very narrowly defined as the action taken by a few dentists with loads of money that go out and stand in the exact same spot as all the other dentists (and Ansel Adams...

Well, to each his own. I've seen some amazing landscapes taken by non-traditional (ie: not large format) cameras.

I've also seen hundreds of thousands of photos taken by people with 4x5 cameras...

I'm just happy there's a market for people to experiment and introduce interesting products. I may not use this lens, but I like knowing it's available.

One person's junk is another person's gold.

A Leica with a 35mm Summicron + a 4x5 was my only kit for a loong time. I don't think my photos improved when I had more money and more kit!

Nah. Smartphone cameras are the mass-market buy. Enthusiast cameras will always be a small market, whether you call them mirrorless, DSLR, or whatever.

I go through periods of intense buying and selling about once a year, usually when I want to try something new - a technique, a process, a new style.

At this point, I don't really need gear, I...

The over-analysis thing is more boring than the people who have to have the newest model on the day it's released.

I hope this camera is a hit for Fuji. They're bringing to the point and shoot market a very powerful camera. It's getting closer to mass-market pricing, which makes sense, the X-series need to be...

If only the Digital M were worth owning or aspiring to own.

CRI=85 and $1200, hmmm, no, at that price I'd expect a higher color index. I was thinking they would cost around $500.

Leica is the Gucci of the camera market. A once inspired brand that is now relegated to logo placement that commands high prices amongst the uninformed.

I highly doubt you'll notice much "optical" difference between this camera and a Fuji XE-1. If one were thinking of blowing a ton of change on a small camera, the Sony RX-1 makes the most sense. If...
