I would actually be happier, if they would review them on pair with the other cameras. People are cross-shopping them, and rightly so.

Those of us who follow this site, we remember when there...

@dazed1 - I went and informed myself. :-) Nope. For a static shot, recent iPhone or Samsung 12MP pictures are not as good as 24MP or 30MP pictures from APS-C cameras.

Now, getting back to the...

@Francis: we are talking about the camera used by the same user, and in vacation mode (meaning, primarily, snapshots and casual videos, not shots that require extensive setup, tripod or long wait...

A very pertinent question now would be to do a "family vacation simulation" comparison shoot between the Pixel 6 pro and the Sony RX100V (such as in a theme park or zoo walkaround). It would be...

Well, this is a rather low effort contribution, a 40 year old film used to make copies, spooled on cartridges.

I am not sure that people who are taking up B/W photography now, and playing with...

Well, two vertical folds that would open a 6in x 3in phone to a 6in by 9in screen is definitely possible. And that is the screen size of a small laptop.

I am quite sure that the is a paintbrush review site where people review and get passionate about paintbrushes, the weight and shape of the handle and mourn the decline of the legendary...

As the first photo was taken about 15 miles from where I was born, let me try to unpack it.
-The industrial area in the back is the Azomures nitrogen fertilizer chemical factory. It is about 60...

This is a refreshing look on the various tradeoffs one faces when taking into consideration cost, weight and a specific set of uses. Clearly Jeff is more knowledgeable than most of us about the...

I guess that if you put into the Leica a film that can represent the International Klein Blue, then the technical quality will be higher on that side. :-)

So, let me understand it: if you want a 1960s Eastern Block mass market camera, buy a Smena for about $20, and load it with an ISO80 film. Get the 8, not the Symbol, as the manually cocked shutter...

Fatih,
The Ryzen mobile processors are all integrated units in a single chip ("APUs"). If you go to the wikipedia page you are mentioning and search for a processor, everything that is on the...

Why would you consider this a monstrosity? Cameras have lens bumps. This is still totally pocketable, etc.

Oh my. Are we genuinely handicapping sixty year old mass-market cameras for performance, reliability, reparability, ease of use, shutter noise, smell of the leather?

What about doing the same...

This being a novelty / lifestyle item, I am trying to understand the type of lifestyle associated with this device. I understand why would you wear a mechanical Rolex instead of digital watch. Why...

But the Smena Symbol was not designed as a novelty item... It was a family camera, for people who actually cared about the pictures they are taking. This is for people who clearly have a phone that...

The optics is clearly not great, but that does not explain the grain. We just have to accept that this was the quality you could get from an ISO 400 35mm film. Our memories, calibrated on the 1hr...
