Try again tonight. --tom -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ colicky, havocker, picnicky, plasticky, panicking, picnicking, panicky, magicked, colicking, picnicked,...

Very well put. No one has any perspective here. If you don’t like it, fine, just move aside and step out of the way then. Don’t stand in front of the shop display whining and...

It doesn't have "no DOF". To the contrary, it has a great deal of it. That's part of the point. The people whom this camera is targeted at don't want blurry pictures. They want as much in focus as...

Joe, you are so brilliantly inspired you knocked me off my chair with hilarity. Thank you for helping me start my day with a big...

Remember that the mock-ups include these future lenses: * Portrait prime lens * Landscape wide-angle zoom * High-power zoom lens (For travel) * Super-telephoto zoom (For sports) * Close-up...

Disappointing to whom? They aren’t that far out from the traditional f-stop range found on lenses of the equivalent field of view. They go to f/5.6 on the long end. They only go down to f/3.8 on...
