Why the long face?

So buy a G15 now or pay the extra to be on the cutting edge. Early adopters always get the worst prices. Me, I wait till cameras are in the bargain bins or even buy used DSLRs (two of them so far)...

Is it just me, or are these real world samples lacking in fine detail? Look at the trees against the water shot (nice blown highlights in the foreground too). All the leaves look like watercolors...

Maybe people prefer SLRs. Some people even prefer view cameras. The SLR has become the dominant form for decades because it has no equal. EVFs are getting close, but still cannot match a DSLR in...

25/0.95 in m4/3...cheap....riiiiiiight

25/0.95 in m4/3...cheap....riiiiiiight

funny thing is...its still 25, so less dof than 50, plus m4/3...so you'd still not get the equivalent of 50 f/2.

Its true development has stopped on 4/3 lenses, but I think 4/3 lens owners would argue that they still have no equals out there in m4/3 land. Seeing as how the mount is abandoned, now would be the...

Don't take this the wrong way, as these are all adequate, capable shots with nothing really wrong technically, but these pictures are all frankly uninteresting to me because nearly everything is in...

Its hard to say from what video what this is truly capable of I think. Capturing the stars impressed me personally, but I've never had a D4 or something of that caliber to try insane high isos on,...

Physics....worth studying....

Its shooting in pitch blackness and you complain about noise. Wow.

Its only useless if you can't learn to adjust EV compensation. You know you can do that with pentax cameras right? You can also just fire them in auto and use the autothyristor, but even then you...

What's up with the lens in your sample? It looks decentered or misaligned if you ask me. The upper right in most shots is very telling. Not impressed.

No, howardroark, I think we are seeiing a decentered lens. In all the shots I looked at the right was softer than the left, especially in the upper right. The upper half is softer than the lower...

They rate lenses which outresolve my sensor as having a sharpness of only 10MP. They rate the sigma 18-35 f1.8 as having like 14mp or something. I've een test pictures from that lens. It is not...

Even raw has unnatural colors in their profiles. I liked my good old fz-28 and fz-35s for a lot of reasons, but the Panasonic color was always awful and I can almost pick out a panasonic camera's...

What's up with these BSI sensors they are using on these compacts? The MX-1 and Q7 both look great at base ISO and 100% and these all look like water colors. Same goes for their X-5, which is...
