"personal and subjective thing"

Exactly. That's why it isn't justifiable to claim a "gap" has been closed without further qualification, i.e. it is not justifiable to imply that there is...

I used the 5.7M-dot viewfinder from the Panasonic S1R and still see enormous differences to an OVF. Again, I accept that some people don't care, or even prefer an EVF experience but...

@Barney Britton
The complaint was not about too much "content".

"The addition of IBIS alone should make the R6 (and R5) immediately more practical than its predecessors for a lot of purposes."

Yes, I remember you writing the very same thing when comparing...

Now those interested in promoting the new Canon glass just need a way to explain why "f/8 and be there" has been wrong all along.

The only three points this video serves are:
1. How slow some mFT lenses really are.
2. How few of your readers understand that.
3. That DPReview will go to any length to promote MILCs.

"Who...

There was another hint to be harvested "...experienced strong demand for our premium lines...".

Translates to: "Don't expect low prices going forward."

@Bigsensorisbest

Sony may go first but it is still tough to compete in their space while they are in it.

With respect to your assessment of Ricoh/Pentax: It is uninformed.

The fact that Ricoh chose to rebrand a few Tamron lenses does not imply that R&D is at a minimal level.

You wouldn't be talking about Ricoh like that if you knew how much they develop on their...

Pentax/Ricoh are nowhere near giving up. They just released an extraordinary 85/1.4 lens and are about to release a new APS-C flagship.

If you are looking for brands to disappear I'd focus on...

Yeah, not sure what happened in your case. I was just pointing out that there normally is no reason to believe that a soft-bristled brush presents any danger to a sensor.

@BodkinsBest
Yes, for reasonable content you got to DPReview.

Oh, wait...

But Ian, how is that possible? It wasn't a Sony "mirowless senso" was it? ;)

Using a brush is normally safe but one should avoid artist brushes without extensively cleaning them first (even when new) because they are treated so that they stay in shape.

Also, of course, the...

"For telephotos, there is no advantage."
What about the disadvantage brought up by Maetaki?

Furthermore, I'd be interested in seeing these incredibly small wide-angle MILC lenses.

@gfrensen
The Pentax-DA 40mm f/2.8 is less than half as long as the Sony/Zeiss 35mm. It is not the only so-called "pancake" lens available for DSLRs.

Did I not do that already?

@panther fan
"But LoCa is the aberration that causes bokeh CA"

No. Dispersion is the cause for both LoCa and Bokeh-CA.

LoCa is not dispersion and, as I said, has a technical definition that is...

LoCa (Longitudinal Chromatic Aberration) refers to the inability of a lens to focus all colours at the same plane for objects that are in focus. In other words, a lens with non-zero LoCa will show...
