I don‘t get the concept of „need to cover something“ or „must have...“ for travel photography. It‘s all about recording memories, isn‘t it? For doing so, fiddling around with lenses distracts you ...

Well, depends of course ;) 16-55: Excellent "General use" zoom 56: Indoor portraits 80: nice overall tele, macro, works for portraits as well 90: Outdoor portraits The most versatile kit would ...

There are other parameters as well - e.g. heat management or mechanical protection of the cell. The smallest battery is probably not the most robust.

It isn't a problem for photos in RAW, but for video, it's an issue. I'll try the 35...

Dear folks, I was quite happy with the Zeiss due to its great sharpness. However, at a recent video shot (xmas greetings for our international colleagues), I recognized that it is much cooler than ...

The old lenses are not too bad on a modern body. And nothing can beat speed but speed! Regarding the PanaLeica 15mm - this was one of my most-used lenses in my mFT times. Very very good, and no ...

Was it sharp? I thought that fast focusing was an issue since decades for Leica? At least the M?

...at least in a recent TV thriller ;) https://www.zdf.de/serien/der-pass/der-pass-1-von-8-100.html

The XP1 is already at its „bottom“ price. You can get one for very small money, and I doubt it will become cheaper in short/mid term. The XP2 may become cheaper, but I doubt about it. The XP3 is ...

Of course, that’s a very personal question. Some like the superduper zooms because they feel liberated. Some like just one single prime and feel liberated as well. For me, the form factor makes the ...

The XT2 is much more performant and responsive than the XP1. Get the X100 for travel and walkaround will give you some great experiences  (a nice camera with quirks, but it‘s for fun!). And the ...

Many options… (1) getting more reach: 55-200mm (2) getting wider: 10-24mm, 14mm f2.8 (3) want to get a portrait specialist: 56mm f1.2

Well, DPR forum members are obviously no average buyers. Just hang around a typical tourist spot and see which equipment is used. Canikon, Sony, Panasonic - beside of many many smart phones, for sure.

It seems that the focus plane is also not on point. For these portraits, I use Eye AF and AF-C. And as others said, 1/250sec is approbiate. Even 1/125 is not save...

Beside of the question if you should take photos or just enjoy that great day, I would recommend a 23mm f2 for FoV, compactness and speed. The f1.4 is much bigger, and f2 will be pretty fine. If ...

Would buy one, for sure!

My guess:  It‘s still 14 bit - but I am surprised what I didn‘t found a hint in the specs. To store 14 bit color information, usually 16 bit integers are used (uncrompressed). This is what the ...

It works surprisingly well. Focus is done with just a gentle touch of your finger. However, you may use the AFL button on the backside.

Absolutely no issues, but I am not a pixel peeper.
