Nokia blog concludes Nokia cellphone camera is surprisingly awesome for sufficiently low values of awesome. No, oddly enough I am not surprised.

It could be worse: like Sony with anodized aluminum advertising on the stupid thing.

I suspect we'll get an Aperture X in the not-too-distant future which will fix some things at least. I agree that workflow etc. is a mess right now.

$450 buys quite a lot of traditional photographic equipment. E.g. $250 for everything you need (aside from a suitable room) to process film and make prints, and let's say $100 to buy a ridiculously...

I'm not thrilled by the use of photographs (are they analog photos? Dye dub prints?) The use of difference races and sexes is good in principal, but they all have dark hair. In any event these are...

You do realize that plenty of cellphones and laptops have been recovered using exactly the same mechanism. The 120-300 in particular is a very expensive lens.

Indeed, Nikon has two of the most unreliable lenses of the major manufacturers (only Sony has a less reliable lens — tiny sample size though), one of the longest turnaround times, and the highest...

More importantly: people don't rent lenses to store them in a closet. How many of your 70-200s do you use at once?

You set a very low bar for justifying lenses.

The idea that only Zenit (not exactly a paragon of awesome optics) has the expertise to make these things is mildly hilarious — seems pretty much like...

The real question is lens/camera combination. What these results show is that Samsung has caught up in sensor technology (which, given it was lagging by a generate or two a few years ago, is...

And the EP5 doesn't seem like the new flagship. The OMD retains better IBIS, weather sealing, etc.

You do realize that all DSLR MPs are overstated by a factor of 4, so a 40MP camera is really a 10MP camera, with the extra data being interpolated. This is the difference between "pixels" and...

Well, Nikon did it on the 1-series and got totally bagged over everything else about the cameras. The fact is if you can get a DSLR (vs. giant DSLR-shaped pellicle) with useful phase detect AF in...

This camera makes perfect sense to someone who would pay $1000 for a pair of jeans that's no better than a $50 pair of jeans but is fashionable. The problem isn't with the product, but that it...

From my reading, yes but not when shooting video.

Indeed. Given that $250 film SLRs used to have pentaprism finders and the reason for not providing 100% coverage in film SLRs was the difficulty of aligning film travel and optics (which shouldn't...
