I would have liked to see more on it's dynamic range, on a scale - in the bottom picture, there is some serious highlights clipping going on.
(and tiny sensors' weakness is usually more clipping...

omg! how much do you guys get paid to glaze-over facts. going on about zoom, for a whole paragraph, going through immense efforts to avoid using the term "digital zoom" and "no optical zoom". It...

@DPR:
in your image comparing sensor sizes, you write "four thirds" instead of mft or "micro four thirds".

Perhaps, sometimes, some cops are weighing the trouble they may be in, for preventing you from filming, versus the trouble they (or their colleagues) may be in for other actions.

maybe we ought to revisit the roster of free software that is out there

That's what you get, when you use high-level languages to speed up development and save on competent programmers: bloatware.

To be quite frank, I don't want to drain my phone's battery on camera gear.
When I want something modular, I use something called a c.a.m.e.r.a.
Why would I want to hang a bunch of stuff on my...

Curved sensors? Big deal! That is the easy part.

But who is willing to redesign all their lenses and put in the marketing dollars to convince everyone to reequip themselves?

That, is is no...

This should be entertaining... more vaporware! lol

(more nice new cameras they won't release)

and these...

I can't find it anymore either... not sure if it was in a previous firmware, or if it was in only one of the modes that I saw that. All I know, is it was cause for confusion for me.

That is way over even their heads.
In a case like this, google is your friend.

In my camera, I can choose between no electronic curtain,
electronic first curtain, or
electronic second curtain.

The argument can me made that when you press the shutter, you create a little...

The only part you can't touch, that isn't physical, is software.
Whether spring-operated or battery-operated, the piece is still a mechanical shutter. With or without static electrical help.
It's...

I think we too often forget that today's camera is a computer. And we all know how computers vary immensely in speed from one to another, especially a generation to another. And camera models don't...

PL RIP Holdings...
not a lucky name.

...how about free?
I've been using a recycled Samsung NX20 with the 30mm f2 pancake lens.
The overall package is more compact than an X100 and has a larger sensor than MFT, and the lens isn't...

Google terminating another app?
noooo, really?
what else is new?
This is why I don't use google for much... 90% of their products don't make it beyond a year or two. You get all invested in...

What use is 4k video, or all those pixels in images, when the image quality sucks?

I wish these guys would come out with better IQ in the underwater category.

No wonder the industry is in...

just disappointed that year after year they leave out some interesting models.
in this case, we now know the reason.
but in past years, perfectly available cameras had been left out.
