Do you write the bit on how you need two dials on every single camera launched which has only one dial and is clearly not aimed at you as a user? Must take a lot of time!

Well, there are always some, but if varies whether they come from existing customers or not. I think a lot of people were happy about the E-M5, I certainly was.

There's a lot of pent up anger venting right now. That's what you get for not buying a product you have wanted for four years because it was made by the "wrong" company.

I can't figure out why so many photography people are so overly negative and depressing. They are always unhappy with new products, and if their current hang up is somehow satisfied, there's...

The 5D2 is something like a 500D with a freakishly expensive sensor in it, itsn't it?

Well, the combined Canon Fanboy Choir sang the tune for years that mirrorless cameras were lame, because they were not built by Canon. So why would they spend time and money developing and...

Yes, ofcourse, but it still helps you see that buying a D7000 for the low light image quality really isn't going to give you much over an RX100 if you stick a 16-85 on there. People have been going...

Thank you for sticking your necks out with regards to the f-number equivalents, Richard and Barnaby. No doubt you have made yourselves some angry forum enemies, which are certain the only...

No, it does not. It gathers the same light as a 150/3.6 on 36x24mm. That's why we say it's equivalent.

Also, ISO 400 on 4/3 is equivalent to ISO 1600 on 36x24mm. You really need to understand that...

Yes, a large portion of the "full frame" proponents believe that they are buying themselves a general "two stop advantage" on any lens. They think it's the sensor that's collecting the light, not...

Well, you are going to have to wait for a long time. A 12/0.7 is probably not practical. This is where a larger sensor makes sense. By the way, what percentage of photographs taken with a 24/1.4 do...

Comparison is still easy though, and will help you decide which camera system is right for your use. Just do the math, and you know what's what. I'm just sick of the "focal length is focal length,...

Focal length is not an angle of view and an ƒ-number is not a depth of field. The same lens has different depths of field on different formats, because depth of field relates to the scale, which is...

Which is cheaper, a $900 lens with a $400 camera body, or a $400 lens with a $3000 camera body? And what retains its value better?

A 75/1.8 is equivalent to a 150/3.5 in photographic terms, but it...

Shockingly, a Leica 50/2 costs MORE than a Canon 50/1.8! Moron.

There's always Nikon 1

For one, it has to be 1cm longer, because the flange-back distance on µ4/3 is cm shorter. Other than that, it is a more advanced construction, with 10 lens elements rather than 6. There's a...

Just to clear things up for some people: The focal length of a lens has no impact whatsoever regarding "flattening" of a photo or anything related to that. What makes a portrait "flat" is the...

Some function based on angle of view an aperture, yes. Quantifying depth of field is difficult, but some type of Light Capture Factor or something like that would be sufficient. After all, our...

Are they making more money on the silver bodies? Why would they try to manipulate people into buying one over the other?
