Revenant

They use ACR at default settings for all cameras. It's part of their work flow.

DPR noticed this in the course of examining their pictures as part of their normal, very thorough review process, and then decided to investigate further, just like they've done with other...

Why didn't they sabotage the E-M5 review then? The IQ is the same as the E-P5.
And they do not post reviews of Canikon cameras mere days after launch. You're confusing previews and first...

Andy Westlake wrote in a comment that they tested multiple units, all having the same problem.

As you say, it's a design flaw, which is not the same as malfunction, which is a manufacture flaw. A design flaw is ultimately the designer's fault, which is probably what DPR meant by saying that...

Why would an owner of an S system camera be interested in a m4/3 lens? Completely pointless comparison.

The cameras were tested with different lenses, I believe, so it's not a fair comparison.

But wouldn't the projection then have to be digitally "mapped" to a flat image post-capture?

"most people LOVE the portability and image quality."

Yes, but those things are not what DPR found fault with. They didn't like the ergonomics and user experience. Those are very subjective...

I wouldn't say that the X20 is smaller than the G16:

X20 - 117 x 70 x 57 mm
G16 - 109 x 76 x 40 mm

This seems to be a constant source of confusion to many readers, but the awards aren't connected to the numerical scores. Two different lenses (or cameras) may be equally good in all categories...

Nonsense! The awards reflect the reviewers' subjective opinion, and is unconnected to the numerical scoring system, as has been explained many times by DPR. Therefore, there is no right or wrong,...

DPR have explained many times that the scoring system and the awards are unconnected.

The Nikon 1 system really does pretty well, at least in some parts of the world. They have the fourth largest market share in mirrorless ILCs after Sony, Olympus and Panasonic. That doesn't...

This is not signalling a new direction for Fuji. They are just filling the vacant entry-level spots in their line-up. The mode dial and aperture control from the body are more familiar to beginners...

Why would you want this camera if you have the X-E1? It's like complaining that D3200 doesn't offer anything you don't get in the D7100. Totally different target users.

You really need to go back to physics and math classes. Magnification IS a linear property. 2x magnification means doubling the lenghts of the sides, which gives an image with four times as large...

It may not be more expensive to manufacture an X-Trans sensor, but I'm sure Fuji spent lots of R&D money on developing it. The customers pay for that, too.

Why is it utterly clueless, tinternaut? Fuji does make a cheaper model with X-Trans, and now they will release a true budget model, where they have cut costs even further.

Enthusiasts don't make up the majority of camera users, but the entry-level users do. And Fuji wants a larger market share, which explains this release.
