It's not always an accident, I think, whether the older lenses work well on newer cameras. It helps if the manufacturer wants them to work well. For four years, I used a FF Sony a850 with a variety ...

Just what the eagles and buzzards have been waiting for. Sheesh!

Looks like this new form factor solves one of the biggest problems I have with the P3. It's so symmetrical that it can be had to recognize which direction it's facing, way up in the air.

It's odd how the OP omitted the K-1 from his proposals. The difference between handling and IQ of a K-3 and an MF camera is prety large, and the FF option seems to resolve that dilemma ideally.

A larger OVF is the only reason that might persuade me to step up another format to 645. Trust me, as owner of a new K-1, it's so much tougher to get any deep field of real-life objects all in...

First of all, don't you dare buy a K-1 unless you also can afford a full set of modern 2.8 zooms for it. You are not worthy! Never mind that advice -- though you will hear a lot of it on the ...

I still use a Metz 45 on a daily basis, probably 30 years after it was made. I didn't like the newer Metz' user interface, controlled by lookalike buttons, but I'm interested in this one for the...

As the oddball who crops most photos to 4:3, 16:9. 1:1 and anything else but 2:3, I love the multiple formats. I truly believed Fuji refused to offer 4:3 because it sounds like a rival maker's...

For under $10K, I could have five Pentax K-1bodies, or two and a good set of lenses. Would I really miss those 17 extra megapickles? I doubt it - but this is an interesting camera for the rich and...

Isn't it a shame that we have to make a pilgrimage to photo-mecca to handle the object of our desires? Or, as I did, simply ask B&H to send one to our door. I'll be keeping mine, and not missing my ...

Reading this makes me even happier about the Pentax K-1 I just bought. More MP, better controls, a tilting screen, and a truly beneficial pixel shift capability-- all for half the price of this....

These flying freight cars fly above my daughter's college campus near Seattle, a few miles from a big USAF Military Airlift base. The C-17s appear to hover at low speeds, and turn on a dime; ...

Yes, I jumped on that with both feet. It was a big purchase, especially since I the only Fuji I owned was an x10. Two years later, I've sold the Zeiss 32 in favor of an XF 18-55. The Zeiss gave ...

I'm not worried about lack of available Pentax lenses. There are new versions of the two lenses that every ambitious photog/lens collector seems to require, the f2.8 zooms that cover 24-200 mm....

I choose the hot sauce when I'm at that BBQ wagon, but to each his own. Maybe I'll see you there sometime.

Juggling between Pentax and Fuji on a daily basis, I can say that they share nothing except that they create lovely digital image files. Their handling, controls, menus ands other details share ...

This addition makes the x70 suddenly look like an appealing camera. Converter lensed have one big operational advantage over SLRs and other ILCs: you don't need three hands to change lenses.

You've never worked in the desert Southwest, have you? It's big, empty country that changes little, grows less and moves barely at all. Lovely, though.

Thanks for the effort, and nice photos here-- but you shouldn't have to spend a long soggy day to test the K-1's abilities with moving water. There's a very dynamic fountain not far from your...

Ergonomically speaking, my Pentax is perfect. The Fiji ergonomics are ...different, but interesting. I got it because of a good deal, $150 out the door.
