Archiver

As wonderful as this collection appears on first reading, the real issue is that most of the slides are unlabeled and uncategorized. I can see why major galleries and institutes don't want it,...

To some extent, all cameras have a 'look' that they consistently produce, and is different from what our eyes perceive as reality.  If you want something that renders colours 'accurately', then by...

This is exactly the kind of situation where I would love an electronic or near-silent shutter on the GR.  Certainly, the GR will be a lot more quiet than the K-01, but still not as quiet, as, the...

Cool story.  In earlier years, I wore large jackets with large pockets and stashed everything in them.  Since then I've carried increasingly shoulder bags starting in 2005, starting with a very...

Now that I have one, I can confirm that the physical sound of the shutter is more audible than cameras like the Fuji X10, X100, even the Sigma DP1.  It's a bit more quiet than the GXR 28 module,...

No one else has mentioned this, but the Sigma lenses take a few seconds to 'come online' after you start the camera.  On my EM-5 they take three seconds to boot up properly and allow me to shoot,...

Pinpoint AF on the GR is quite dishy, and I'm very pleased with it.  I use the Fuji X100's version of pinpoint AF and it is great to be able to pick out an exact spot for focus, rather than multi...

Looks like your IV has been watching Close Encounters again!

Thanks for the link.  I've sent in my own request, which is for the Electronic Shutter function in the GXR-M.  They could easily put that in the Effects menu.

My GR arrived this morning, and I've been playing with it for hours.  As a replacement for the GRD III, I would say it's a big yes.  Replacement for the GXR 28, another yes.  For the M9 and 28mm...

I don't think that the GR's video issues will be solved with manual exposure.  It runs much deeper, to the codec implementation and compression.  For all of the users saying that the Olympus OM-D...

I'm guessing it's a full frame fixed lens camera, as an ILC would eat into M240 sales.  Not so sure that a FF fixed lens camera would take away from Summilux and Summicron sales, as they appeal to...

I have bought the GR as a fusion of the GRD and GXR: GXR image quality in a GRD sized body.  After I get the GR, I do not expect to use the 28mm module very much. That would depend on how well the...

The official release date as stated by Pentax Ricoh is the 27th of May.  But places like B&H, Adorama and PopFlash have been shipping them already, a number of UK dealers have them, and it is...

Depending on how the GR shakes out in upcoming days and weeks, it could quite conceivably shoot in place of the GRD III, the GXR 28, the E-M5 with 14/2.5 and perhaps even the M9 and Elmarit 28. ...

I'm somewhat disturbed to hear this, as I have been reading early user reports that the GR 's shutter is as quiet as the Fuji X100. If it is the same volume as the GXR module I'm going to be pretty...

My shipping notice from B&H just arrived this morning, and it is expected to make landfall next Wednesday.  Can barely wait!!!

My B&H order status is the same as Ray's, which means that with any luck, I'll have mine some time next week.  It would be great if it arrived by the end of this week, but I'm still geared to wait...

So the ubiquity of cookware means there are no cordon bleu chefs?  Or the sheer number of sports cars means there are no professional racecar drivers? Extending that logic, Marissa Mayer isn't a...

Lucky you.  I'm sticking by my B&H preorder.  I kind of have to, because overseas orders are charged at the time of preorder, rather than shipping.  And it's only another week or two.  I just hope...
