I bought a third party brand from a known retailer (B&H) for my GM5 and it's been fine. A little less capacity, and I only use it the camera occasionally, but it works as expected.

I agree, the DL was the most adventurous idea from Nikon in a while. You have to wonder how big that market really is.

In term of testing as a science, DPR is the leader.

Probably, but at least they have clear criticisms to work with.

Very nice, I was going to post the same thoughts.

Nice "what if" article, it's always good to stretch the brain a bit. All of the arguments against this are variatons of the obvious "that's not the way the market works today".

I think that for...

That product X has a defect rate does not imply product X is disposable. That product X is not infinitely repairable does not imply product X is disposable. The repair argument is a red herring. Ho ...

I used to look at the "most popular cameras" chart where DPR was basically tracking clicks by camera models. Essentially there were upticks (to 5-10%) around two events : product...

As a wise man once said, horses for courses. Format choice is a continuum of tradeoffs. Camera phones have clearly staked out a significantly popular/large part if that continuum. I think that ...

That's his signature. His response is in the subject line. But I don't get what your Mama Bear proposition is - that the perfect camera is your current em5-2 body with a mild resolution upgrade and ...

This was not an "accident". According to the legal statements, the cop determined that the tripod was a gun, and made a decision to shoot the person standing by it. This is at best, an error in...

Weirdly, Sugimoto seems to answer this when he talks about system size. And I have to question in what significant ways the A7 is a template for a M43 camera - certainly Olympus' physical body...

@snapa
That rhetoric is true, if the only thing you care about is resolution. Otherwise you are just making assumptions that could well be shot down.

Welcome back. I definitely remember some of your posts. Clear, direct, correct. Sounds like you did tremendously good work for those dogs. Animals are so easy when it comes to devotion. Best of ...

This is a really interesting piece of reflection. The write up mentioned that the reinforcement of sterotypes affected perceptions, and I wonder how much effect; how much did people who read NG to...

too easy ... your first statement is undermined by by the later:

Irrlevant. An individual is simply not allowed to lie vindictively with the goal of destroying another individual.

Posts like this make me wonder if there isn't an archetype like Ebeneezer Scrooge for someone who refuses to see the personal value in being able to experiment for creative purposes, without being...

For someone that designed, say a Minolta MC lens in the 60's, it must be pretty intriguing to think that their design is in use 50 years later, and to see how their lens performs in modern...

Well, some questions are asked and answered so much with actual trolls, that it's a bit hard to differentiate. As a veteran member surely you know how such an open ended question would be seen. Reg ...
