Folks, That is fantastic work! Very helpful indeed.. Thanks Karl

I ended up with the RX100, but, if I could have bought an LX7 in Oz for around $300, I would have. My comments.. 1. The corner softness is there, but, its marginal.The image below is a crop that is...

I have a D700, which i love, however, I had a Nikon V1 for two weeks, and, for any reasonable light (I mean good indoor ), it was blindingly fast, and, also, the IS on the lenses was also very...

No need to further re4sponses, should never have posted it in the first place.. karl

In truth, I was joking. That building has a great slope on it, as the nutters who designed Federation Square intended. I should not have made the post, so if I offended anyone, I...

Hi, I was shooting the horse drawn carriage rides at Melbourne's Federation Square, after a boozy lunch in Lygon St. (Little Italy). When I got home, I noticed a weird distortion issue with the...

I haven't used it, but, based upon all the rviews, I think the Fuji X100s is the next of the fixed lens, large sensor cameras at a reasonable price. The Sony RX1 may be better, however, its more...

There are many ways in which I'd expect the X20 to be "nicer" to use than the S100, and, a year ago when comparing the S100, Olympus XZ1 and X10, I found the X10 to have better optics and better...

It is an accessory for the m4/3 GX1, and, is not so expensive if you buy direct from the US. Karl Reed

This thread has been very helpful, many thanks. Karl Reed

Yes, I saw the cyrillic after I had posted. There is something very unique about the dirty, melting snow. Thanks for the shots!.

Hi Kirkman, Your original picture looked like it came from Europe, in fact, I'd have thought scandinavia. Am I right?

many thanks... this thread really has been helpful..

Like everyone else on this thread, I am paranoid about noise in a new camera. That's why I am stuck with my D700.. But, we are a bit weird, I can remember shooting with 200iso agfa opima II,...

I have found that the shot to shot time with a 30MBS SD card is noticeably slower than the 60MBS Lexar 400x I was using.

I don't have a D7100, but, I always felt impressed by my 18-200mmVRI on my D200. However, I am using a 28-300mmVR on my D700, and, its pretty amazing. Regards

Here in Oz, a number of retail outlets have very generous returns policies. Several, Harvey Norman and Officeworks, will take even a printer back, and give a full refund, when it has been...

Hi.. Like many, I am wondering about getting a D7100 to replace, in my case, my D700. The HI iso issue bothers me as well. However, the much maligned Ken Rockwell (and I am a fan of his), has made...

Sue, If you move the window around to the top edge of the watch, on its LH side, where one gets some of the hair or feathers in the crop, you will see what each camera does to the poorly lit parts...

Hi Jimmy, Funds are always an issue, I have a D200, D700 and a Sony RX100. If I manage to sell the D200, I'll possibly look at the TZ30. REgards
