I'm not into smartphones and so have no need of the latest all singing all dancing models, heck, I'm happy using an ageing Galaxy SII, but I did marvel at the panorama images posted here. They...

Marijus.

Valid point. Inconsistency in marking. In my school days, too long ago now to remember, lol, 78% was better than 77%.

But when it boils down to it, whatever we may personally feel,...

Thanks. So your new 2D test target should enable you to shoot at the lens' optimum aperture, or would this be too time consuming to always have to work out what it is?

Though I suppose you could...

Aha, but don't overlook that the real things are available for purchase. lol.

It is irrelevant now as you're moving to a new test target, but I was somewhat taken aback at your comment that the scene had to be shot at very small (diffraction limited) apertures to ensure that...

Fraud is a crime, and the perpetrators need to be punished.

The Japanese legal system simply gave them a rap over the knuckles. Justice for US, UK and other nation's citizens needs to be seen to...

@ mattmtl.

I fully understand your point, well made, and not rude.

How much more should a Leica re-worked (I prefer this to badged, as there is more to it than this) Panasonic cost? Does Leica...

Was it only a few months ago that Olympus was saying they wouldn't be forgetting their loyal 4/3rds followers? Well, they haven't, unless you honestly believe that an EVF is a legitimate...

I doubt it really matters what Leica do; those who have no respect for Leica as a company are unlikely to be swayed. Leica prices will always be high, and as a result they will always be out of...

They say a fool and his money are soon parted, and the pricing structure does look odd.

$200 gets you the enlarger; $250 gets you a "nearly full kit" of enlarger, trays, safelight and paper. So...

I've voted with my feet and closed my facebook account. I know it won't make any difference to facebook, but I'm not bothered by that. I feel better for it, and that is all that counts.

Not sure about Tord's timings, unless this is for bracket exposures in RAW, but an individual RAW locks the camera for 12 to 13 seconds before it frees up for the next one. Still, only 5 shots a...

Andy, indeed it was, but I was really comparing it (and by inference, its performance) to today's higher mega pixel cameras and against which the R1 can still hold its own.

To put the R1's lens into context, dpreview found it needed the equivalent of 3 high quality Canon lenses to cover the focal length of the Zeiss, and the package would have set you back $3,000...

And a simply fabulous lens, even by today's standards.

And if I recall correctly, the Canon G2 was European digital camera of the year in 2002.

I'm pleased that my Sony R1 made the cut. It was indeed revolutionary when released and despite its lowly 10 meg sensor, compared to today's all singing all dancing cameras, and its relatively poor...

Tord,

I, too, loved my Oly 8080 back in 2004, so much so that the other week I got another via ebay for old time's sake. The only real down-side to it was the lethargic processing time for RAW...
