The world is fine. The people are doomed :).

@Richard in UK
Don't you think that, quite possibly, such photos will be all that is left of it?
I say we should take more pictures while we can :)

The small and cheap Sigma F2.8 DN crop primes seem to be quite popular. That 20F1.4Art is very "sexy", but I don't really need F1.4 for 20mm (which must be a dream astro lens). And I don't really...

Some small wide F2.8-F4 (cheap) primes would make me very happy.

But I didn't dismiss the convenience of having some programmable dials and wheels for image editing. I just think that the implementation could have been much better, if they'd put them on a...

But when you look at the modern Apple mouse, you understand that those "experts" were right and Apple can't even make a proper mouse :). Just like 35 years ago.
I don't want two keyboards (a...

.. and for that money it's not even wireless. Can't you see that it is lacking many essential control buttons, so you have to switch between it and a keyboard constantly? This product may seem...

You are crazy! :))

Still, it's a large wired board of very limited use that doesn't replace the keyboard functionality. Just look at this beauty ...

Because it's true. 50% more quality for 5 times the price is unreasonable. I'm trying to be self-critical here :). Limited lens selection isn't permanent and the price should drop with time. I'm...

"a solution in search of a problem" - Exactly!

Why not make a proper keyboard with some extra controls for image editing? This thing doesn't replace the keyboard so I'd have to use both and those duplicated buttons are not really necessary. I...

"Why would anyone spend FF money when you can get good APSC for less."?
Why would anyone spend APS-C money when you can get good 1" for less.
Why would anyone spend 1" money when...

Then why are they making it sound like they have no use for that much quality at all? Even if they could have it for free. It seems like Fuji's "APS-C - smaller, but more than enough" propaganda is...

"what do you need such an IQ for ?"
For myself, of course :) ... to enjoy the beauty of it. And I feel sorry for those who can't comprehend it.

I wonder when DPR will produce their own first digital camera :)

First, smaller sensor requires sharper lenses just to catch up with larger sensor and less sharp lenses. The results of putting the same Otus lens on the X1D might surprise you.
Second, color...

Who cares ...

No other hand, same hand, only different F-number.

From my experience, when shooting static subjects, the 50F1.8 II AF on 5D2 wasn't perfect, but it was worlds better than 24-70F2.8L AF on 7D, which was absolutely terrible. The nifty-fifty could ...
