@janist74: one can always hope!

And once again my mind drifts and wonders : this is all fine and well, but where is that DL18-50 ? What a great concept that was.

Yep, eye of the beholder and all. I have a tendency to prefer colder colour temperatures, often different from what I see in printed and online material.

Make that 18 - 40 - 85, but the other would be great, too. But then again I would take that DL16-50 in a heartbeat.

Hmmm indeed, I have one in my NX500. If they do a second coming of that sensor it would be nice, since the days of my NX500 seem to be numbered.

Especially since my NX500 sadly starts to act up and there is nothing in stock anymore ... besides it's finally time for some sealing and IBIS. Regards

DE: I use zoom and built in macro-function underwater all the time on the XZ-2 and LX100. I could do away with the 4x zoom, if there were good and not that expensive wet-lenses, or a good...

Yes, and that is the drawback, no zoom. Otherwise I would be all over the saline ...

I have the TG-1 since 2012, and used it every year underwater. Still works like a charm ... had a Panasonic before that that died on me though.

@Kostasm: yeah, as a youngster I visited the island in the late eighties / early nineties I think. We arrived with the ferry at two o'clock in the morning and had to sleep on the beach before we...

Hmmm, why was it named after a Greek island?

And testing the macro capabilities of fixed lens cameras.

Yep, thought about that for several years. But as has been stated above, the tele version probably would not sell well. And while you are at it, 24-50 is too limited, I'd rather have 18-50. Nikon...

That would be great. Have no problem with a size increase ...

OK, you convinced me, thanks. I guess the bats contour is down to some image compression issue. So the bat breaks at its weakest point, even if it gets hit further out, since the head moves faster...

Hmmm, looking at the bats contour it indeed looks fishy ... and the the ball should hit the bat where it breaks. Like it is I have to agree that the physics do not seem to make sense.

The Sealife has no zoom. I use the LX100 in a housing, but would buy a tough version in an instant.
