Re. High CRI flashlight, thanks for the suggestion, I could see this replacing a small flash in many situations.

True cloud storage and sharing, with many companies competing to be the obiquitous standard. Dropbox was arguably first, but the race has just begun.

Being able to have viewable raws in moments,...

Just looking at the extreme amount of comments is telling. It seems there is a strong interest in m4/3, even if the time when just the right model to really take off is still to come.

One thing...

I really should use it and get things right at capture... But they are just too much trouble and with an HDR image I can get pretty much the same effect, arguably even better. What would be good...

I'd have to agree. All too often mindless complainers get the most attention from the moderators, with pointless accusations of brand bias, mistaken criticisms of methods used, or just here...

Since we are all familiar with the filters, perhaps it makes more sense as level ground for a competition?

It seems pretty pointless to me, but the very fact it exists shows the iPhone camera's power as a software-rich, always-connected device. Even having Wi-Fi in cameras can't compete with it's 3G...

I actually think this is still an idea with potential, even if the appeal is not so wide. There are some beautiful, simple, not to mention affordable film cameras out there, in many ways as cameras...

Well why not, if it's Smartphones that are selling an replacing compacts. They don't even have to dominate there to make a nice little earner, perhaps just with camera modules/processing with...

Maybe soft is the wrong word if we are just talking about, say edge definition. I find there is a lack of micro-contrast and 'pop', or detail like you say. The images just seem flat and lifeless...

(Sorry for repost, the site said it didn't go up.)

Too true. Most Nikon users want a mirrorless they can effectively use third lenses on, not with a 2.7x crop. I'm personally hoping for the DX mirrorless system that will support AF, lens...

Very true. The main defense of the 1 series was its practicality for novices and small size. The only thing is, a lot of those upgraders are hard people to convince to invest in lenses and...

I agree, the 18—105 is good for it's range, but the Tamron is much sharper and more detailed, especially at larger apertures, so it's my first zoom choice as well....

Well the 18-105mm 'standard mid-level kit lens' was designed back in the days of 12mp sensors. Even on my D5100 it's noticeably soft.

Interesting findings, but as they are going to resize it for various platforms anyway, maybe the old logic of giving the biggest and the best (compression quality) you can still holds true.

Well I suppose the main differences are the rear camera making at least suitable for picture-taking of something other than a selfie and the sharper screen, though the screen on my older Nexus 7...

I'm with the above. Better to evolve the smaller sensors than try making a camera that is too large to be compact, but still no-where near the level of something like a Nikon V or m4/3.

What...
