Buy Nikkor 18-300 mm, Tamron 18-270 mm is very bad.

They already have 11-16mm f/2,8, an excellent lens.

Message n.500: I think Sony NEX 7, Ol. OM-D-EM5 and Fuji X-E1 actually are on the same level.

You are not crazy nor wrong. You are absolutely right. This is what happens with Fuji: they apply strong NR, making the images softer and less noisy. You absolutely can get better IQ with OM-D....

A great review, indeed. I've been working with superzooms S100FS and HS20EXR. They are great cameras on their own field. X-E1 is a camera of excellent IQ. And waiting for the HS50EXR high speed Fuji.

Yes, in mirrorless cameras is the future. E.g. in astrophotography you need exposure times of several minutes, to keep the mirror up takes too much power from accu.

What about focus peaking? Distance indicator? Possible to focus into infinity in very low light (astrophotography)? Thanks a lot for information.

The Camera is the NEW PowerShot S100, from 2012. Don't know how to correct this. Thanks a'lot. Vesa1tahti.

Fujifilm X-E1, absolutely, was the best.

Hyvää Joulua ja Onnellista Uutta Vuotta (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, in Finnish) to all of you in DPreview.

Right! Nikon makes high quality system cameras but not compacts. Best compacts are of Canon. Cheers.

Compared to Nikkor 18-300 mm ?

It is a lot better than cheap superzooms. Big, heavy and comfort, designed for big and heavy people.

I sold my Tamron 18-270 VC PZD, very bad images at long end. Nikkor 18-300 has much, much better image quality. Cheers.

VR works effectively at even 200-300mm focal lengths. Sometimes there is a small delay, I accept it. But when learning to use this lens it gives superb results. Best of all superzooms.

Okay ! Maybe I've done something wrong, but I've gotton very good and detailed macro images with this lens !

You are absolutely right, dbscsp! The influence of the atmosphere on the quality of photos is obvious in photographing long distant objects. The minimum focusing distance is 0,45 meters at 300 mm....
