Well, it depends. If all you do is watching the images on your phone they are more (!) than good enough. I know quite a few people who watch their images mainly on the phone they were taken...

A serious contender which only gets threatened by a possible overambitious price point.

There are images out there. It's just that some people have no idea what they are talking about. Especially the ones decrying things...

Price point will be its Achilles Heel.
This lens is unprecedented and actually has no serious competition !! Now guess how that translates to the expected price point.
My guess : $1700 to $2300....

The point is, Sony is a renowned camera maker with a good reputation and no matter whether users really "need" an above average camera or not, Sony should provide its phones with cameras...

Interesting test, though pointless. Phone cameras are mainly used by persons not in the least interested in any kind of serious "photography". Any snap will be good enough.
I personally know a few...

NO IT DOESN'T !!!
Submerged, the phone doesn't recognize input any more. Therefore, no picture taking under water. You can activate movies before diving though.

Elaborate review of GH3.

While not really an inexpensive model it's though the most basic entry level cam. But its high iso capabilities are quite impressive. Even ISO 6400 images are highly usable for the targeted clientele.

That makes them a perfect competitor for Nikon. Nikon is stale and pale as well regarding DSLR technology.

If you want ultimate sharpness that beast is for you. Impressive !!!
But the "slow" lens and no VF bother me.
The most devious & deceptive camera is the Fuji with its highly cooked RAW files.

RAW software is massively underrated !!!
Back in the old film days it was the process of skilled film development that made the difference and today it is the skilled use of proper RAW software...

"The Emperors New Clothes"
I've been told that it is superior therefore I do perceive its superiority.
It simply has to be better because it is promulgated by the pundits in this forum.
ha ha ha...

With regard to D800 vs D800E this is hilarious !!
Nice evidence that D800E is the ultimate rip-off for would-be pros. Much reminds me of "Emperors New Clothes".

With stupidity the gods themselves...

CS6 Camera RAW update went fine this morning. It was obviously just a matter of time when the update became available on a server dedicated to my region.

Fence image (DSC_0127) shows that there is pretty much DOF. More than I would like to see. I credit this to the APS-C sensor and f2.8 aperture.
Most of the sample images could be taken with any P&S...
