In hydraulis

Sorry to hear about your troubles with the K-5.

Fortunately---and let's keep this quiet because it's still unofficial---I have it from reliable sources that Pentax is working on what is...

Redundant how? It's a current model, is it not?

Not everyone buys their cameras in the first few weeks after launch. Personally I like to track firmware updates and after-sale support for a few...

Bend your elbows.

The camera is no longer at arms' length.

AngryCorgi, improving the product in fundamental ways is a fine endeavour. But that wasn't your complaint. It was the pink outside that got your panties in a knot.

Must all cameras be black?

NIK11, I don't disagree, but I doubt it'll materialise on the budget NX-thousands line (NX1000, NX1100, NX2000).

Perhaps in future offerings in the NX-hundreds line (NX200, NX210, NX300), which is...

Aye, choice.

Samsung is free to produce different lines of products at different price points and boasting different features and capabilities.

You are free to choose the best one for you. As...

Awww, why so serious?

Samsung cordially invites you to lighten up.

Self-correction: The G6 does not have multi-aspect. The GH2 does.

Damn. Would have been a nice selling point.

I think Heleno might be referring to the multi-aspect sensor of the GH2, and now the G6.

It's a larger sensor, but no single photo uses the entire surface. So a square format photo, for example,...

Stepping away from tripods and studio scenes, I read that when Pentax removed the AA filter, they actually removes it. By contrast, Nikon merely substituted a compensating one in the D800E.

One...

NX predates NEX, but the early NX bodies---NX10, NX5, NX11---all bore the mini-DSLR form factor. The first rectangular-bodied NX was the NX100, and the NEX3 and NEX5 did indeed beat it to...

50mm focal length on a 36x24 sensor is quite comfortable, tbh. Non-crop.

And for the price he's willing to pay for it, those expectations are reasonable.

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for Ricoh's next...

A lot of contructive and well-reasoned discussion here about this camera.

Where is the hate? Where are the flames!? What happened to DPR overnight?

Re: the GXR

Four out of six have APSC sensors. Two primes, the zoom, and the M mount.

Tbh I might look into that Epson. Very intrigued...

Argh! I take it back!

The Epson R-D1 was announced in 2004, discontinued in 2007 — and had a 24×16mm sensor!

Ding ding! We have a winner!

Ricoh's mirrorless GXR system is a bit of an oddball, but I think it deserves a lot more credit than it gets.

I'll grant that the M8 — from 2006 — wins hands down, though.

[in addition to Samsung] "Fuji is the only other APSC mirrorless interchangeable lens camera maker"

Canon?
Pentax?
Ricoh, even? (slightly debatable)

How about its 5-axis in-body image stabilization system? This has no precedent.

Or perhaps the stunning performance of its AF system? Admittedly, it's a refinement of standard contrast-based AF,...

Anything in this lot catch your eye?

Or how about a K-01 with a K-mount 50/1.2?
