Revenant

Such rational, common sense reasoning is rare in a camera gear forum. But you're right, of course. :-)

Sure, in the spec sheets it says 18 MP total pixel count, but it also says 16 MP effective pixel count, and that's the number that was quoted in the advertising. In the original press release, for...

That's only true if we're talking about the D-Lux (Panasonic LX), V-Lux (Panasonic superzooms) and C-Lux (Panasonic P&S) cameras, and the old Digilux 2 and 3, which were rebranded versions of the...

Why is m4/3 below the threshold? Leica did release a Four Thirds DSLR (a rebranded Panasonic). Just because they have positioned the 'mini M' between the full-frame M and the APS-C X2, it doesn't...

It's not quite true that Leica has shunned Micro Four Thirds, since they are members of the consortium.
And don't forget that Leica released a Four Thirds DSLR, the Digilux 3, which was a rebranded...

Panasonic only makes the D-Lux, V-Lux and C-Lux cameras. They have absolutely nothing to do with the S, M and X series cameras, which are developed and manufactured by Leica, and are made in Europe.

Kodak doesn't make CCD sensors either, since they sold off their sensor division in 2011. It's Truesense Imaging nowadays.

A nice and helpful overview of some of the available options. You could have mentioned that Pixlr supports layers, though, since it's a feature many photographers use extensively.

K-30 got 78% and a silver award, while D5200 got 79% and a silver award. In the DPR scoring system, 71-80% translates as "Very Good to Excellent". How is that mediocre?
Furthermore, the awards are...

The E-M5 is one of the better built mirrorless cameras, and the problems you mentioned aren't widely reported. Cameras of all brands occasionally have problems like those, and the few people who...

According to some recent rumours, Sony will stop producing SLTs, and develop a mirrorless solution for the A mount. How is that any different from Olympus' development of a mirrorless solution for...

Here's a link to an explanation of what's involved in putting together a DPR review.

I don't think DPR has ever reviewed any medium format camera. They didn't review the Pentax 645D or the Leica S2, so I wouldn't count on a review of the new Leica S.

Strictly speaking, you're absolutely right. Unfortunately, that usage is so common nowadays, that it seems pointless to point out to people that it's incorrect.

By the way, isn't it wonderful when...

In English, nouns can act as adjectives. Examples:
security measure, biology teacher, race horse, love story, news reporter, customs office, production costs, class act.
And just as you say "class...

I really like the first picture too. Very nice!
I'm pretty sure they used the "Grainy Film" art filter for sample 6, so you can't judge IQ by that. I think samples 2 and 5 look decent, if I avoid...

From Merriam-Webster:

quality (adjective): of the very best kind
<an antiques dealer who handles nothing but quality pieces>

In the interview, Stephan Schultz said:

"Leica had a long history with professionals throughout the 20th century. Most of these professionals were photojournalists. But we realized that...

@marike6

Somehow, my brain didn't notice the "perhaps" you put in there.
You're right about the Nikon 1, but it seems the Nikon/Aptina implementation of on-sensor PDAF is the only really succesful...
