CMOS requires a lot more effort to get a decent picture compared to CCD. This effort can be either lots of extra on-chip circuitry and/or additional in-camera processing. Canon showed with the 5D...

There is an optional rectangular hood for the GR. Big compared to the camera, but probably very effective. Looks fine to me, for situations where one could worry about lens flare etc.

IMHO that is the wrong choice for your applications when you use an APS-C body. The 24-105 is designed for FF, on crop the 15-85 will give you FAR more reach (on the wide side, slightly less on the...

My guess is that the optically corrected lens would always be more expensive because it requires more elements. Software correction is a one-time expense (give that there already is a special image...

The corrections that take place in the corners/borders with several recent compacts with bright WA lens are more destructive than small level, perspective or cropping corrections. If you check what...

Agree that it first of all needs a better quality lens (maybe slightly bigger as that could help for increasing corner quality). But an EVF would be great (especially for those with less than...

and Panasonic LF1 ...

they did have several bright 'Zeiss' zoom lenses in larger sensor compacts in the past, e.g. DSC-F717 (2/3 inch sensor): f/2.0-2.4, 38-190mm DSC-F828 (2/3 inch sensor): f/2.0-2.8, 28-200mm  DSC-R1...

Theoretically a larger RX200 is possible, but I guess with the size increase the market potential would shrink rapidly. Ten years ago Sony had the DSC-F717 with 2/3 inch sensor, f/2.0-2.4 38-190mm...

Most Sony NEX cameras are selling well for the type of camera (although much smaller numbers than RX100). Their replacement cycle is a lot less than one year and some of the new NEX versions have...

it would be physically impossible for a camera the size of RX100. The front lens would have a theoretical minimum diameter of 24mm; in real life, especially with a complex (WA to tele zoom) lens...

there is some room for a few additional FF WA primes, but there is plenty of room for APS-C (S)WA primes, either bright and/or high quality. The new f/1.8 Sigma WA zoom is impressive, but who wants...

There was a rumour last year that a 2.8/300 is coming from Sigma, but that doesn't seem very likely given the overlap with their 2.8/120-300 (also pricewise). If they can make it small, light and...

Agree about the lens spec, f/2.2 at tele which is totally impossible for such a camera. But I can imagine f/1.4 at 28mm equiv., although that would not be a clever (necessary) move IMHO. But who...

Agree, sounds like a good plan for Sony where they can leverage their technological muscles. I think more companies are going to add a small EVF (like Pana LF1, also very small) to their more...

RX100 only has some advantage for obtaining shallow DOF at the WA setting, which is pretty useless usually for those wanting shallow DOF. Most people want to use shallow DOF at tele setting where...

LX7 is definitely sharper in the corners, for much of the zoom/aperture range, despite having only half the megapixels (obviously, I'm talking about comparing at the same size, e.g. RX100 scaled...

If you had more time to make a decision, the upcoming Pana LF1 could be another option. It doesn't have the 24mm and f/1.4 of the LX7, but it probably also has a very nice lens. I'm hoping the...

Yes, fully agree (also with your other post higher up about RX100 vs. LX7). RX100 seems to be a camera by tech geeks for tech geeks, who enjoy the specifications and 'features' above the...

check out the dragonfly ocelli; it's a combination of artificial horizon and motion/acceleration detection (plus more) and replaces gyroscope systems as used in aircraft; gyroscopes are not an...
