  • Commented on Olympus OM-D E-M5 Preview preview

    Erm. This is a physical (size and design) comparison in a preview. The OMD in fact uses the g3 sensor, not the gh2, and not only are the g3 and gh2 more or less the same size and shape, but the g3...

  • Created thread Spam attack - apologies
    We've been under attack for the last 24 hours or so from relentless spammers. Fingers crossed we've now got it under control. Apologies for the amount of crap that's littered the forums and...
  • Replied in Who designs the sensorship in here anyway?
    we don't block christian or primordeal... -- Simon Joinson, Editor dpreview.com

    We're based in Seattle, and we read every single feedback and answer those that require answers. Simon -- Simon Joinson, Editor dpreview.com
  • Replied in Shooting Test Charts
    This is *exactly* the point. We had the target market for the Nikon 1 made *very* clear to us by Nikon, who were actually concerned we'd review it 'wrong' by looking at it from the enthusiast,...
  • Replied in Picture height
    We chose to match height for various reasons (including the fact we measure resolution in lines/picture height and because shooting this way makes some aspects of the work of producing reviews and...
  • Replied in Which Nikon "Execs" said that ?
    Yes, naturally, i am lying. Or maybe I was in a private meeting. -- Simon Joinson, Editor dpreview.com
  • Replied in No in-camera correction of distortion in JPEG files a CON ?!?
    We don't consider in-camera correction, in itself, to be as much of an issue as you evidently do. We care more about the end result. -- Simon Joinson, Editor dpreview.com
  • Commented on Just Posted: Nikon 1 V1 and J1 review news story

    we never PP out of camera JPEGs in our galleries. Why would me make an exception, after 13 years, for this camera?

  • Replied in Novices?
    If the cameras had been judged to deserve different scores they would, i'm sure, have been given different scores. SJ -- Simon Joinson, Editor dpreview.com
  • Replied in Novices?
    Actually we were told specifically by several senior Nikon execs that the Nikon 1 system is 'not designed for the enthusiast market' (and, in as many words, that neither camera was aimed at the...
  • Replied in Pro photography site/forum?
    We're on the west coast. We just got up. Give us chance This simply isn't true in any sense: (i) DPR started as a hobby, initially covered only point and shoots, moved into covering SLRs as...
  • Replied in DPR Forum needs to be redesigned
    Woah tiger! no need to be hasty! We've been testing the current format since 1999, and we hope to soon work out if we need to make any tweaks ;) -- Simon Joinson, Editor dpreview.com
  • Replied in DPreview new format
    we haven't changed format... sounds like you have a problem your end. Send us a feedback email and we'll try to find out what it is. -- Simon Joinson, Editor dpreview.com
  • Commented on Canon G1 x preview updated, sample images to follow news story

    No

  • Replied in Here's something to think about?
    This is the key phrase here or maybe things don't work like that.... 1) retailers don't buy all their stock at the same time 2) the wholesale price falls over time 3) manufactures...
  • Replied in Here's something to think about?
    On cameras margins are painfully slim (unless you can sell at RRP, which no one does). -- Simon Joinson, Editor dpreview.com
  • Replied in Here's something to think about?
    No No Yes We're not stalling, we're just slow. It's a busy time, we have priorities. The X10 review progresses. -- Simon Joinson, Editor dpreview.com
  • Replied in Magazine Reviews of X10
    Ah, ok - that's not a magazine, which is what confused me! SJ -- Simon Joinson, Editor dpreview.com
  • Replied in Magazine Reviews of X10
    This simply isn't true. I've never heard this before - which one? (i'm genuinely interested) SJ -- Simon Joinson, Editor dpreview.com
