Why should I want to buy a FF camera which is less capable with regard to one of my major applications, hand-held telephoto and super-telephoto, even if it was cheaper than APS-C or MFT? I surely...

I don't quite agree...

Then you've been lucky. Using Olympus DSLRs and mirrorless cameras since 2005, I've had dust specks which didn't go away by self-cleaning on most of them time and again – although not too...

@Zvonimir: indeed. It's not that it would be too hard to do, it's that they don't want to do it, while of course not wanting to admit it, either. After all, the only purpose of a business is making...

Unfortunately there are hints which don't support such reasoning – in November, a Panasonic representative claimed in a talk about their full-frame endeavour that 8K on Micro Four Thirds was...

Would be interesting if the keyboard case would contain a computer that was as powerful as the price would justify...

Art. Lebedev's Optimus keyboards, perhaps?

Nice video, but does that macro lens actually do macro, too? ;-)

It's not you for whom "emotionally engaging" is supposed to be a valuable metric, it's the newspaper.

@nycgazelle: we all know that there is a thing called general price trend, but why should, of all possible figures, the progression of rent in LA, which I gather is characterized by an...

@DenImage (and some others), and this is my last word here: It is PROVEN KNOWLEDGE that 'deterrent' is the wrong medicine for the ailment named 'crime', and for the necessity to understand that...

@DenImage: "Crime rates are up because there's no deterrent" – no, it isn't. That's pure opinion, not in any way backed by facts or science. And your howls for more "deterrent" try to give the...

@DenImage: Crime rates may have gone up in Canada, but they're still way below USA for serious crime. And, of course, Canada is suffering from rising inequality just like other western societies,...

@DenImage: You say "it's clear that they're (the theories; HB) not working", but you have no substance to back it up. As I said, in Canada where I would see those theories more applied than in the...

@DenImage: In this day and age, science and humanities including criminology know quite a lot about what works and what doesn't in crime prevention. If you look, just as one example, at what the...

@ViMa: I agree to some point – a limited amount of bloodthirsty, vindictive individuals within a society are probably not sufficient to make that society uncivilized, especially if their...

Why would you think so? Because, in your world view, Europe would be the only world region that has theft, or the only world region where shops carrying expensive goods don't install reinforced doors?

@ViMa: On the contrary. How a society behaves towards individuals who break its rules is a particularly important metric for the degree of civilization. And the upholding of the mere idea of...

What I always find the most interesting aspect about such events is how it immediately makes some people expose their lust for revenge and for draconian prosecution and punishment, dating back to...

Reinforced doors, though, might have been.
