Exactly! :-) http://www.everwonder.com/david/aliens/alien00.jpg

I am not sure whether sensor can be cleaned in a fixed lens compact. Comact with dust inside means dumping this camera and buying new one. ;-)

At a first glance the speed of this lens really looks better/faster than normal DSLR telezooms. However important is also the course of the lens speed. My former Pentax DA 55-300mm had f4-5,8, what...

That´s almost inevitable with compacts. I hed issues with my S100s´ lens (got stuck open), so sent it to the service and sold right away.
I know this could happen to interchangealbe lenses too, but...

TG-2 has a 28 mm2 sensor, Nikon 1 has 116 mm2, i.e. 4x larger. This alone makes up for the slower kit zoom (1,6 EV).
Plus there is the prime with f2,8.
And it has an advantage every ILC has: you...

My Pentax DA 55-300 is also cheap (cheaper than this Fujinon) and lightweight, yet still faster (f4-5,8 and at 200mm still f4,5).

Yes, 1,4M EVF would be better (e.g. the one from V1), but still better than Panasonic LF1 with only 230k dots.

Great job, I applaud. After Pana LF1 being the pioneer Nikon comes with better and usable EVF (230k EVF of LF1 is actually insufficient). Now the next logical step would be putting a decent EVF to...

Yes, 43mm and f1,9 means it must have been this lens (no other Pentax lens gives this combination).

Just one more thing: the lenses are probably wrong in the description (there are shots made at f1,9 and the lens is allegedly 18-55/3,5-5,6, which is impossible).

Great pictures, ISO3200 is perfectly usable, I also appreciate variable environments (indoor, outdoor, portraits, landscape...).
Btw. is there any DSLR taking better picture than K-500 in...

Anyhow, perfectly usable ISO 3200.

Does the kit zoom really allow f2,8? ;-)

I doubt this was shot with the kit zoom (check the aperture ;-)

Nice to read that producer supports also discontinued models. The G5 seems to be a good deal nowadays, for 325 USD it is one of the cheapest EVF cameras.

Exactly. When I look at the bottom of my K-30, I read: "Pentax digital camera, Pentax Ricoh Imaging Co., Ltd.". My previous K-r had "Pentax Hoya" as the producer. So no matter the company name,...

@Gesture: of course Pentax does have AF microadjustment in-camera, even the lowest models like the K-r had it. Now compare to entry-level DSLRs of C/N.

i think the 60D is the camera that does not fit into this list at all. One of the oldest ones (if not hte oldest), having oudated sensor with the smallest DR, plastic body, DxO 7000 and 82 of the...

I think the 60D is the camera that does not fit into this list at all. One of the oldest ones (if not the oldest), having oudated sensor with the smallest DR, plastic body, DxO Mark score of only...

Exactly, the K-30 is definitely worth considering and outperforms many DSLRs in this list, either in performance or in price. Itś got the same acclaimed sensor as the K-5 and D7000, but with newer...
