I am not suggesting ease in manufacture of current DSLR. I am just amused by the dismissive attitude toward MILC development, which typically paints it as blind sheep misled by corporate ...

You may be discounting the biggest cost; the human factor of paying the talent necessary to develop the processors, improve sensors, write the firmware, develop algorithms, etc. All manufacturers ...

You pronounce it however you are accustomed, while accepting that it is pronounced differently in different regions, and that even the various regional Nikon subsidiaries pronounce it differently ...

Even marketing people who claim to be concerned about the experience rather than the specs, are seriously concerned about the specs and bragging rights. It is no coincidence that this camera ...

I think that is what he tried already, the screw extractor he refers to.

Are there not an infinite number of focal planes? How much of a shift would you be proposing for the next focal plane sample to make this any different from tweaking with manual focus? Are you ...

Like others I have multiple generations of that battery which are functional except for in camera charging. The one exception is a third party battery I received in one of those free card, bag, ...

That is called marketing, “you will never again be satisfied with your older model, must upgrade now!”

I don’t have the lens, but I must add that I did have a Sigma 24-105 lens a number of years back which also had a constant buzz. Service dept assured me the lens was normal and that the buzz was ...

I agree, if you feel the need to place an unnecessary UV filter on the lens it should be of quality. For me the safety concern wins out: I never use them as I do not want a filter which could ...

Perhaps that is the issue if the only option is a lens design from over 13 years ago mounted on new camera with a modern sensor and is being compared to the performance of recently designed lenses ...

Perhaps it is related to the usual bump in interest after a new release, K3-III was the only DSLR released in the past 17 months. Whatever the reason, it is very interesting that worldwide DSLR ...

Don’t forget to thank your kids and grandkids!

Choose whatever focal length fast prime fits your current preferences. When I decided to add to my Z7, 24-70 combo I chose the 85 1.8. Given I tend to use the 35 or 85 lengths and rarely use 50 on ...

I do think there would need to be some clear roadmap for lenses native to whatever new mount. I do have both Nikon DSLR (D850, D500) and  MILC (Z7). I see the adapter as a great feature for some ...

Unless you are suggesting this camera should be used in a full manual mode you are relying on technology that Ricoh is actively marketing in this new camera. In addition to the emotional stuff ...

I believe most are aware that all of these companies have been offering mirrorless compact cameras for some time. That is why the comments relate specifically to MILC and DSLR. I think most are in ...

I am not sure how successfully developing and marketing new technology can be seen as trickery and deception. They gambled on an alternate technology and with persistence and results succeeded in ...
