The issue is it (MP war) has to stop at some point due to the laws of physics, thanks to diffraction at some point it becomes pointless to add more pixels.  Most cell phones are operating in...

Can't compare sharpness at such a small aperture, you aren't much better than using a 12 year old Nikon D1 at that aperture.  The NEX 7 is diffraction limited above f/6.3.  At f/11 the diffraction...

I think it is just one of those pretty negligible mid year updates Samsung seems fond of doing. Nothing to worry about, but if you are just getting a NX300 nice to get the slightly updated...

For iPhone 5, diffraction limit is 7MP for its f/2.4 lens and 4.54 x 3.42mm sensor, any more than that is absolutely meaningless. Lumia 1020 is diffraction limited to 31MP. The S4 is about 8.6...

I think there are rumors of a weather proof Samsung. I don't know if it is for weather sealed or underwater camera, and they are just rumors.

Did you see the 41 frame RAW buffer on the EM1? :-)Olympus seems like a camera to appeal to traditional photographers and the Samsung to the younger android/smartphone crowd.Eric

Great shots!  I love how close the lens focuses too.  I love the light in the spider shot. Eric

The Sony E 16mm f/2.8 is an optically correct lens, yet performs terrible compared to software corrected Samsung 16mm f/2.4. Some software corrected lenses perform very well. Optical/software...

Optical distortion correction can also hurt resolution and usually increases flare and decreases transmission (extra elements). Dont buy a lens because of how it is corrected, but buy based on how...

Size is similar only in case of lenses with focal length around flange distance or longer. This lens is significantly smaller than SLR lens since the design doesn't have to be retrofocal. You are...

Spot on Fuji, they really understand their customers. The price is great next to the $1100 US Sony 24mm f/1.8, size looks right (buy x100s if smaller lens is needed).

Prime vs zoom doesn't really matter, for example the 12-24mm is better performing overall than the Samsung 16mm. Look at new Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8, outperforms all the very best primes in that...

For most people I would suggest the Samsung 16mm f/2.4, it is much much smaller, auto focus, and pretty good. Simon has a particular reason for wanting the Samyang as already pointed out. Eric

The bottom line is these are very different cameras, they might market them to completely different. People looking at the 5D probably aren't going to be looking at the galaxy NX.No camera today...

Do you have to allow the device from a Web browser first? I had that issue with FB. Also make sure you have the latest firmware for the camera. Eric

Nice, let us know what you think. Samples are mandatory :-) I imagine being an SLR lens it will be nicer in the corners than the 16mm pancake.Eric

I have a few samples from the Samsung 10mm f/3.5 Fisheye. It seems like a pretty decent lens.  Totally immune to flare, fair at f/3.5, good at f/5.6.  I see some CA on foliage in the corners, I...

One thing to consider when reading reviews on these lenses used on full frame, is they are not the same functionality lens. For example, the DA 70mm f/2.4 on full frame is equivalent to a 45mm...
