  • "however, i would not include in that portfolio anything that i would not consider expendable - certainly no images that i would want to sell."

    I'd think that most photographers and artists would...

  • But then option 1 exactly covers your concerns, like R Butler said. You have to pay to retain access, i.e. if you stop paying you have no access. That's perpetual rental with no ownership.

  • Every time Samsung announces a new NX body, Sony fanboys (or Samsung haters) make these ridiculous claims.
    It doesn't really look much like a NEX, besides having a somewhat similar form factor,...

  • The explanation for the "lump" or "hump" that I have seen, is that the 5-axis IS with the sensor floating in an electromagnetic field, requires more space for the sensor assembly. To make room for...

  • "NEX is already outselling m4/3 despite its lens offerings."

    I haven't seen any statistics supporting that claim. On the contrary, both Olympus and Panasonic still have larger market shares in the...

  • "It is also a smaller lens compared to APS-C lenses, meaning less cost to make."

    Not necessarily. The materials needed for a smaller lens should indeed cost less, but otoh the smaller the lens is,...

  • Just like Sony, Samsung doesn't include on-sensor PDAF in the entry-level model. Too bad, because according to some reports, Samsung's implementation of hybrid AF (in NX300) is faster than Sony's.

  • I think NX2000 is the "real" replacement for the NX1000. The NX1100 hasn't been announced outside North America, I believe, certainly not in Europe. But not even the Samsung US website has a...

  • Commented on Just Posted: Fujifilm X20 review news story

    If you look up the word "lie" in a dictionary, it says "a promise made by marketing people."

  • Commented on Just Posted: Fujifilm X20 review news story

    1. The awards and the scores aren't connected. The award is totally subjective - if the reviewer really likes a camera for one reason or another, he may give it a gold or silver award. In DPR's own...

    And also because the pros and cons reflect the reviewer's personal preferences, as they should. If the reviewer likes retro design, then it's a pro for him. He didn't say that it must be a pro for...

  • Canon do market it as a beginner's camera.

  • "The sensor dates 2 years back in time."

    If you're referring to the Toshiba sensor in D7100/D5200, it's not that old. It's not the same chip as the Nikon/Renesas sensor in D3200 or the Sony sensor...

  • Replied in Bingo......
    JK Imaging is an American company, and they are the official licensee of the Kodak brand. The owner of the company also runs Jaacx Distributors, a Miami-based company that distributes consumer...
  • This is indeed a m4/3 camera. JK Imaging (the official licensee of the Kodak brand) joined the m4/3 consortium some time ago, and they are listed as a supporting company on the official website....
  • One thing to keep in mind when comparing DPR and DxO, is that DPR look at out-of-camera JPEGs as well as JPEGs converted from raw in ACR (always with default settings), whereas DxO analyze the raw...

  • It's got PASM modes too, a first for Sony's travel zoom series, I believe. With a 1/1.7" or 2/3"sensor, a faster lens, and raw capture, this would have been a nice entry in the enthusiast compact...

  • HX50V has GPS, the HX50 has not. Sony usually release two versions depending on the market. The "V" in the model name means it has GPS.

  • Yes, I read reviews and articles out of interest, to learn about products I might want to buy some day. But if I have already bought the product, no way, life's too short for that. But YMMV, of...
