Yes, I shot one. And it was pretty dismal. It just can't get the colors right, so much so Leica gave away free external hot filters to correct it. Sorry, it was crap. Yes, if you convert to B&W...

Yes, the M8 can be had relatively cheaply, but not because it was superseded. It's because it's crap.

You just described something I'd love to see; the digital Mamiya 7 II. Loved that "Texas Leica."

How much Mac business is a result of "tag along" sales with their other products? Quite a bit, I'd bet. Anyway, Apple would be a shell of theirselves with only the Mac lines. Uh....no. PC clones ...

I wonder how many Macs they sell to developers who need it to develop for IOS?

I didn't say that Apple's PC sales were suffering due to price. I said that Apple might sell more if they did a better job designing them. The Mini and the Pro are two examples of utter failures. ...

Depends on your budget and needs. I'd go with the 12-35 2.8. Killer zoom for stills and video.

I agree, but the point of the article was to compare the iMac Pro to a comparable PC, which everyone "knows" is cheaper. Their conclusion was that the iMac was a bargain. Whether or not it makes ...

And how much of that profit comes from sales of computers? If they offered more flexible options do you think they'd sell more of them? Sorry, your comment made no sense to me. Apple makes most of ...

First rule: keep it simple. Two bodies, two lenses, and a flash for each, when needed. You won't have time to mess with lenses or settings during the shoot. Group shots: do not use a wide angle if ...

Agree. I use a $9 Logitech wheel mouse. The wired Apple mouse is pure garbage. The ball gets clogged and there's no way to clean it. I very much prefer the wheel and two buttons. The Apple keyboard ...

I was surprised that the lens switch on Panny lenses was active on the Oly body. But it is, so I was wondering if "guru" just left it off by mistake. But he didn't. And he's an experienced shooter ...

Curious: do you have the IS switch set to "on" on the lens?

Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Photoshop, and Pagemaker were all Mac programs first. Hmmmm....

But I've tried to forget about Lotus Jazz and Fullwrite. :-)

Yeah, we all do things different. For example, I'm right handed, but use my left hand for the mouse. Why? Well, I do use a numerical keypad a bit, but like the alpha keys centered under the screen ...

It's funny how preferences develop. I may be just too stuck in my ways, but I've never liked trackballs or touchpads. Nice to have choices, I guess.

Big mistake on Apple's part. I guess that's what goes when you build a modular PC: you lock the user out so you can profit every time they want to make a change.

Agree on the menus; they're all different. If you want the cam and its features, you get used to the menu. I sold the GX8 because I didn't want to deal with two very different menu systems.

You can't do your own RAM upgrades?

They did address that in the article, and their conclusion was that it's a good deal.
