Sensor sizes just do not mix in a forum. Full frame and aps-c is creating tensions in E mount already. Also this forum here has suffered in the past from a very aggressive troll who should not be named signing on after bans with multiple names who would attack any compact posters head on over IQ. I remember one guy who proudly posted his first set of pictures from his compact and just never came on the forum again.

This was an extreme example of the pressure constantly on those with what some perceive as lesser equipment. Here we have a rare EX2f thread used to post an irrelevant top line camera image for the helluva it and wondering why the forum is dead. Have no illusions about it photography is very much a competitive sport in DPR.

Good post / good points.  It's definitely the case that this is a much more gear-oriented forum where relevant discussions are about IQ, resolution, speed, technical skill, post-processing skill, etc.  Not so much about just having fun with the equipment you've got.  I'm pro squeezing out the best out of currently owned gear and continued support for it (on that note, I'm a bit sad that the brand new NX1 already got a new iOS app all for itself for batch file transfer and such, and the rest of the cameras just have the original Samsung Smart Camera app, which doesn't really work for me for file transfer--just hangs on transferring and nothing happens).
