I purchased a Nikon Photomic FTN in 1968, and in terms of photo history, this category of camera is mind blowing. While I really enjoy my dslr, unless you are doing blow ups in excess of 8x10, this...

All of the top cameras from the top manufacturers are amazing, and senseless overkill for most photographers (really, how many bill-board photographers can there be out there?) The big news is the...

Black and white! What will they think of next? I thought I saw some dust on the print, and then realized it was on my computer screen.

I fear beloved Leica is becoming a fashion/jewelery brand,...

I haven't been loyal to any brand since I sold my film Leicas and Rolleis. The image is everything, and like music, what you like is subject to personal preference. All four comparison images are...

Consider a Sony A65 with 10fps & 24 megs for $800.Then wait. A year from now full-frame cameras will be $1000.

Kit lens or other? Any extras (batteries etc)? I am in Saratoga Springs.

Can an 8x10 sensor be far off? I am working on an archive project, scanning contact prints from 8x10 glass plate negatives from 1902. Damn they are pretty. My guess is the resolution would rival...

Right now the D800 seems to blow everything else away (if you need to make ten-foot blow ups) so you can't blame Nikon for supply and demand pricing.

Forever has a good point. Substitute the Nex7 and Leica M9 for the two bottom comparisons. They all take exceptionally beautiful pictures. Only one is small and relatively inexpensive.

If you've got the money (I don't), there are worse vices. IMHO, even if the glass was parity between the top brands, the significant advantage Zeiss and Leitz still have over other wonderful lenses...

Zeiss rules and what photographer wouldn't want one? Kudos on the noise approach, and the final criteria is the image. If you just showed me the sample images, I would simply want the camera that...

Everyone knew this is on the way, but the game of tech leap frog just keeps getting faster. 41 meg relatively-large sensor! Software to remove noise. Zeiss optics.

I would have been thrilled with...

Very pretty. Hope Sony will model a camera after Minolta's XD11, which was beautiful. Will Nikon bring back the distinctive Photomic FTN pentaprism?

In five years the same imaging quality will be on your phone, but for now I want one!

For two grand, full-frame would be nice. I am willing to stay with my NEX3 as my backup camera for now. And contrary to popular opinion, I really like using the NEX3 interface. It is different, but...

Virtually free K-Mount lenses on Craigslist, like Sony and Maxxum!

Twin lens Rollei D w/Planar and forty-meg medium-format sensor please. The mechanical self-timer would be a nice touch.

I want one. Of course I also want a Leica and Hasselblad, but with three kids around college age, like that's gonna happen. There are so many great cameras in the newest generation that the...

Looks suspiciously like the classic Leitz 50mm M-series Summicron.
