HowaboutRAW

And could be even further, if the 808 recorded and shared raw data.

When was the last time you bought and read a copy of the SunTimes?

But Fuji was already close to Zeiss quality. Anybody expecting astoundingly better results from Zeiss would have to be willing to pay a lot more--say around 3000usd per lens.

Wouldn't the option of recording in raw make sense here? Those picking an "ultrapixel" camera would likely understand how useful raw can be.

Then: Why on earth did HTC forgo a swappable battery?...

Just to be clear the ZF 50mm sells for about 750usd, and the 85mm sells for about 1300usd. So they’re not exactly more expensive than these Touits. I guess the faster wide and angle...

Thanks for the links, I looked at some of the bigger jpegs, and the Zeiss colour is better, not sharpness, all to be expected. But to make real judgements about colour, one needs the raws.

rb59020:

Do you own a Fuji X camera? Are the lenses for it inexpensive? (Note I don't care if you own a Sony Nex camera--the good lenses for that system--one by Zeiss--are already plenty expensive.)

You don’t know what you’re writing about, colour subtly is not simply the tint or white balance of the image. Someone from FujiUSA, admitting to me that Zeiss has more magic, called the...

Some cameras are getting worse, my 4MP Canon G2 often does better images than more modern cameras, and that's even shooting jpeg with the G2.

You're assuming the photo editors have perfect access to what freelancers are producing, that's a standard problem with freemarket advocacy, it requires a perfect flow of information--so...

So that means print reporters don't even need to visit the site of whatever event.

I think what you mean is that after the fact event summary gathering and writing is easier than after...

That Lens Rentals review is all well and good, but it's mostly about sharpness. I don't see a single thing about colour quality.

Yes, of course a Sony lens could match the sharpness of...

The reporters/writers are rarely around when the "breaking" event happens either.

There's also the fact that orders of course would mostly come from Amazon and Amazon has some ethics problems concerning the treatment of warehouse workers--in the US and Germany at...

hexxthalion:

As you should notice, I wasn't making claims about the sharpness of Zeiss lenses--some are, some aren't.

Then, given that I've used Zeiss extensively and have Fuji X lens samples...

Andy Crowe+Plastek:

Fuji X lenses are plenty sharp, that's not likely to be where these Zeiss best the Fujis (no real reason to even bring up Sony Nex lenses). The Zeiss are likely to have much...

Isn't Yashica (and its Contax division) still part of Kyocera and still ignoring cameras?
