OMDS may be reluctant to use terms such as "fixed" because that's an implicit admission that it was "broken" before and hence, that affected E-M5mkIII owners should be covered under warranty or ...

Do we really know that? I think it's a trade-off. On the one hand, it's indeed a bragging right (what you call a "marketing advantage"). On the other hand, we know that none of these companies are ...

It's exactly the same look, size, and weight as EM5mkIII. So what are the chances??? It doesn't mean of course that they couldn't have reinforced the tripod mount even if the camera is made of the ...

My thoughts exactly; thank you for articulating them better than I could! When JIP took over the Olympus camera division, many of us worried what it would mean for future R&D efforts. Then OM-1 ...

Absolutely! But the manufacturers would fight it tooth-and-nail: all of a sudden their prized 400mm/600mm/800mm lenses would sound _so_ much less impressive (worse: a _smaller_ number for a...

Yes, H.264 is an interesting example. On the other hand, GIF basically got pushed off the web when its patents started being enforced (or was it even just threats of enforcement?). So it's far from...

Do they really push it all that hard though? Why can't their web browser display the HEIF images then? Why when one attaches a HEIF photo in their email client, it transparently gets converted to...

Yes, of course 85 and 125mm are different framings; that's not the point. I was questioning the wisdom of going with the complexity of a true optical zoom over cell phone manufacturers' usual trick...

Why even bother with all the complexity of a "true optical zoom" if it's just 1.5x (85-125mm equiv)?!

ORWO color film, on the other hand, was absolute rubbish. Some years ago I decided to scan in some old family photos and it was simply shocking how poor the color reproduction of ORWO was in the...

5k makes it clear what a pointless activity pixel peeping is? Oh, how will the humanity survive? </sarcasm>

Is the 14-inch MacBook Pro camera output in these pictures really better than the Studio Display? It's smoother, but arguably less detailed (e.g., the outlets to the left of his head). Crank up the...

The RAM is on the same *package* but is not part of the same piece of silicon (i.e., the CPU and RAM were not etched together). This is being done more and more these days because it's simply more...
