Why? Well, just to stay with one camera instead of two... the RX100, three Plus X units, two Yong-Nuo 560 II speedlights, I'm all set. But I think this one is too much of a stretch, and I'll keep...

First, go to Amazon and rush-ship this book for overnight delivery -- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/193798608X/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ... crash-dive read, and take it with...

Probably not perfectly accurate, but that's OK. You can set the RX100 so that the center button on the back is an AE/L toggle. Then, outdoors, meter and lock off some blue sky, 1/3 of the way up...

Can I connect a Pocketwizard Plus X to my RX100? No hotshoe, but is there some way to get it to fire via the USB port or something? Any 'out-of-the-box' ideas?

Get a Pentax K-01 for $400. Better images, better style!

There are very negative consequences to the distributed artwork made possible by Adobe's Creative Cloud. Where I first thought of it as to a cow-gas emission, it is actually more like a Sarin nerve...

If you are going to shoot film, you might as well go medium-format and do it right. The images will easily be better than those from almost all 135-format full-frame DSLRs. I recommend a Pentax...

I just bought Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 9, for $69. Does bitmap and vector art, also makes highly-graphical web pages, and simple Flash animations. It is excellent if you do NOT send files back...

Several years ago, I went to a big protest here in San Diego to protest Adobe's getting the FBI to arrest Dimitri Skylarov, a Russian programmer... they said he violated the DMCA Act. The protest...

If Congress fails to pass an Immigration Bill this summer, we will be able to keep hiring illegals at ridiculously low wages to cart our DSLRs around. There's something to be said for political...

There are DSLR people and compact-camera people, like me... if it fits in my shirt pocket. My RX100 is the best compromise yet between sensor size/lens size... and small camera size... if you want...

I've used Xara Designer Pro for years... at work, and now in retirement. You can use it for all kinds of artwork ... vector and bitmap ... and for photo editing. Also has a WYSIWYG webpage...

Joe, I looked at it. Subject aside, isn't it amazing how far we've come in image quality and printing/reproduction quality!  We should all probably think more about photos, and less about...

Well! Guess I'll just have to save up some big money, get a REALLY BIG telephoto lens (if Pentax even makes one), hire a couple of illegals to carry it to the beach for me this summer, and then...

CC? Crappy Company.

Adobe -- take your CC scheme and shove it.

Had a Clearviewer that I never used with my Olympus XZ-1. Reincarnated for the RX100, I've found that it is surprisingly useful as a handle. Makes the little camera even easier to hold. Second...

@mbv -- elegant... thanks!

It's a Hoya circular polarizer, that I use on a larger Pentax K-01. But I can't screw it on -- the RX100 doesn't have any threads. But no problem to hold it over the lens... the filter is 52mm, but...

Stupid me. Took a while to realize that the polarizer filter I always carry in my other shirt pocket (along with a spare battery) would also double as an ND filter. Have no idea about the f/stop...

Thanks all for your comments, and particularly to those who posted example images.  My takeaway -- 1. Increased megapixels do not diminish the advantages of RAW processing 2. A real benefit -- RAW...
