Mk7

Here it is, the present you really want. It could be under your tree instead of mine. You already know the stellar capabilities of this camera. If not, just read the Gold Award review on this ...

I haven't reviewed any of the dp Quattros even though I've owned all 4 of them. Definitely wouldn't give any of them 5 stars, even if grading them only within their relatively small "comfort zones". ...

One problem is, when people want a "nice camera" they are often told they "need a DSLR". I only 5 people with DSLRs. Four have Canon Rebels and have never removed the kit lens. One has an...

So you're saying that Ricoh engineers are so foolish that it took them 22 years to figure this out?

As stated, decisive moments can be fleeting. Much easier to press a button, pop up a flash and shoot. More sensible than fiddling around with an add-on flash and missing the moment. Someone ...

Sony or Panasonic would've gotten either a flash or an EVF in that space.  :) Even here? Maybe so, but the faces would be awful noisy. Saving a few millimeters is not a valid excuse, that's for ...

The point is, at least you and other users had the versatility and the choice whether or not to use it. But we're not talking about a camera from 1980 that never had built-in flash to begin with. ...

Wrong again. Several people complained: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/40566797 Haha, I rightfully bashed the DP2M in that thread, too. I eventually owned and used all of the Merrills. Sold ...

Name one.

... which, at $3800, makes it even more of a ripoff.  :) How many people have you ever seen using one of these? >>cricket, cricket<<

I have several examples using the GR but the kid's mom doesn't want pics posted online without permission. Don't pretend that there's no situation where flash wouldn't be helpful. https://www.dprev ...

Yes some full frame don't. Some do. Why? Because it's useful and better than no flash sometimes. Or maybe you apologists consider this 36MP full frame Nikon a rank amateur camera? Even big sensor ...

The 24MP cameras that people are buying the most (Canon, Nikon, Sony) have built in flash, as does every phone. Everyone has seen great portraits with a bit of flash. I don't want to downgrade. ...

Well here's the Pentax KP. Notice anything? The argument that the GR sensor is so good that it doesn't need flash is ridiculous. As an original 35mm film GR owner, I'm gonna take a pass on this GR. ...

Well here's a current Nikon APS-C camera. Notice anything? Built-in flash!

In 2005, Kodak was #1 in digital camera sales in the US. In 2012, they filed for bankruptcy. Apple's lazy, slow executives should take note.

I'm pretty sure every GR, film and digital, has had built-in flash over the past 20 years. How is a GR without flash a continuation?

Just because the camera is smaller doesn’t necessarily mean it’s more portable. Some phones are wider (longer) than the GR anyway so it’s an unfortunate, unnecessary design decision. I think the ...

I'd take the RX1R II over this bloated Q any day. Nice Panasonic sensor, BTW. Leica can't design such a fine sensor even in their dreams. Of course the Sony RX1R sensor beats it, by every metric.

"Sometimes this means that the cameras we hear about will be much the same as last year’s, as far as megapixel counts, ISO ranges, f-numbers and so on. That’s okay."

Not okay from a marketing...
