I thought manufactures gave focal length for corrected fov and RAWS gave you a little extra. Are you suggesting that the focal lengths given on ff lenses are exact? Do you know what the exact focal ...

I disagree with your "expensive junk" statement. I think it reasonable value and I like the results my camera produces. I am not quite sure about your last statement. DPReview gave it 81% (and yes, ...

I don't understand the point of your post. Most/a lot of/many modern cameras do in-camera software corrections. It part of the process of creating a JPEG. If you are using RAW you know you might ...

I am suggesting there are two kinds of sharpness: one is objective and one subjective. Objective: This camera/lens combination resolves x lines or produces this result using Imatest. Subjective: I ...

There is no consensus over which is preferable. From the polls I have seen there seems to be equal preference for either with a small  group who are ambivalent.

A lens can be built to spec and still give a poor image. We don't know what the spec is. "If I learned only one thing from my time as a mechanical engineering journalist, it's that manufacturing is ...

I'm a little surprised this article from LensRentals blog hasn't been mentioned. https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2016/02/optical-quality-assurance/

I like your post. Here is a pic I took on a recent holiday. If you choose to pixel peep you will be disappointed. It shows a lack of detail, the feathers are somewhat smeared. But do you know what? ...

I don't understand your statement. 360mm equiv is more than anything less. Where did you get your arbitrary focal length classifications from? What if you don't want a long telephoto only a short ...

I don't follow your argument. I own a TZ220, Suadidave owns one, supposedly (at least) 26 others on this website do too. So either some of us ( I count myself in this group) appreciate that all ...

Are you suggesting that Panasonic hasn't carried out market research? Keep in mind the market is greater than just those who post here.

Right. Because one can always walk up the side of a building to get closer to an architectural detail or get within 1 meter of a crocodile to take a picture of its face. I guess using longer focal...

Sorry to say you are incorrect on this point. With the camera OFF press and hold the playback button then switch the camera on then release playback button.

Every camera is a compromise. You have to decide what limitations you are going to live with.

As saudidave has said the difference in speed is insignificant. See here for iso bracket comparison demonstrating the difference (or lack there of) of 1/2 a stop.

Just back from a short holiday in Perth. I took two cameras; a TZ220 and a GX85 with 7-14mm f4. Given the results I am seriously thinking of selling my OMD5Mii and 12-100mm. I probably won't ...
