"The ruling, effective until March 2014 and not limited to the Netherlands"

How's that work?

The clearance is definite and not at all negligible.  It can be judged accurately enough by eye, perhaps not your specific eye though...just that for me it was apparent.  Even with the collar...

The collar on the extreme edge of the lens barrel is the farthest-forward portruding feature of the lens barrel assembly.  Handily, on the stock cap, there is a raised boss around the perimeter of...

I'm talking about the stock cap that comes supplied with the camera out of the box.  When you turn the camera on, if the lens cap is still attached, it will not extend the lens until you remove the...

What nonsense.If you leave the lens cap on and turn the camera on, it simply will not extend and puts a message on the LCD asking you to remove the lens cap then press any button.

In all fairness to the OP, these challenges to "show you can do better" are really nonsensical, and trying to tie together two issues that are totally unrelated, namely that of being impressed (a...

For the close, outdoor shots, your kit zoom will be just fine.For the low-light, indoor, check out a 35/1.8 G or 50/1.8G.For indoor sports venues at a distance, to do it properly, you're looking at...

I think any lack of sharpness is more likely due to physics than add-ons.  Assuming that there were no add-ons, and that this isn't a crop, I'd guess a subject distance of maybe 6"...if the EXIF...

Tell 500px not to bother me until I can upload directly from the app.

What are you talking about?

For my part, I found G+ Photos to be so different as to be nearly unusable.

Thanks for including the link at the end.

I ran into this little surprise a few days ago, and after firing off a little hate mail to Google (both to show displeasure with the switch, as well as...

If you've had such consistently unsatisfactory results with Panasonic cameras, limited to strictly Panasonic cameras, and repeated, consistently disappointing results with all Panasonic...

That's kind of what I was saying...if you knew ahead of time that this was a must-have feature for you, in a camera...especially with your situation as far as return policy, that's the kind of...

That's because not all lighting situations are the same, so the color balance is a setting that one would want to adjust as the situation warrants.  I'd say this is likely a feature, not a flaw, as...

Realll,Here's your solution:1. In iA mode, hit the menu button (the center of the directional controls, not the Q. Menu).2. In the menu that appears, switch from iA to iA+.3. Press the menu button...

Sarit, I did look at the RX100, but looking at the price point...for what the LX7 sold for in the end, the RX100 MSRP is more than double.  For the features, it's just not justifiable.Again,...

Yes.  Completely.  In fact the fast, compact primes were one of my main reasons for seriously considering m43 in the first place.Yes and no.  Why would I have to replace my dSLR to make m43 make...

The only fantasy land is the one between your ears that prevents you from understanding the meaning of the very charts you're using to spread your delusional misinformation.

I think you're absolutely right, and I agree with the comparison temptation!Thank you ALL!  I see that there's a $100 price break on the LX7 through the weekend, so I'll probably pull the trigger...

Kelly, Thanks again.  I think that the E-PL3 would work...but would likely push the limits...and that the LX7 is likely a better option.Sanpete,For my photography, I have little use for any focal...
