Why such an aggressive defense? I give you, as a person, any benefit of doubt you want, as I value you as a competent writer. This is about one specific text and how it comes across which doesn't...

@Richard Butler: How can I be sure? I'm no native speaker, but when you write:

"These include options we've seen on other brands' cameras, but also some original ideas. For instance, there's a...

@Urbex Mark: Statistics and general media coverage. While the last twelve years saw a massive decline in camera sales including system camera sales, the decline in lens sales wasn't quite as...

@okaro, @Urbex Mark: The times of people buying system cameras in order to not buy additional lenses is gone. Those people don't buy system cameras at all anymore. Also, I think Canon's lens-based...

@Kharan: I know what the E-M10 IV is and what it isn't (it also is close to two years old now). My mentioning it was not to say it would offer everything the R10 offers, just focus stacking. Still,...

Except for the lenses' larger rear-end diameter which is hardly noticeable as soon as a lens is attached, I see no big difference between M and RF. Ok, it might become hard to make a body quite as...

Also, of all features, IBIS is one of the most valuable ones specifically for those 'beginners' who are expected to buy entry-level cameras.

APS-C-only telezooms don't make much sense for a mount that also has FF bodies. Telezooms cannot be made significantly smaller, lighter or cheaper just by chopping off a bit from the image circle,...

And again, dpreview ignores Micro Four Thirds when talking about APS-C cameras, while, even if we would want to view FF as a completely different 'class' (against which there would be some good...

@TheRealYeats: That's good advice if there really is field curvature. I used to do a similar thing when I still shot my old Four Thirds Zuiko 11-22mm f/2.8-3.5 (which still wasn't half as good as...

Actually, Panasonic's published (and previously leaked) MTF chart already suggested there would be weak corners. It's always hard to say, though, how it turns out in practice and how much of that...

If the lens casts shadow when shooting close up, it reliably helps to take off the lens shade ;-)

Sounds like a really fun lens—except for the somewhat weak corners if I'd want to use it for serious landscape shots.

I understand that with an ever increasing abundance of features it gets more and more difficult to get down to every one of them, especially the more basic ones we take for granted anyway.

Still,...

@Impulses: It seems strange that UHS-II, introduced nine years ago, has hardly found any traction whatsoever except in the actual cameras. Laptops with UHS-II speed (micro) SD slots are still the...

Still, the CL is currently the only Leica I would be interested in -- if it would have IBIS. It is beautifully made and, more importantly, compact. Just like the original Leica/Minolta CL/CLE...

@snapa: Early reports of new announcements of lenses and cameras have always been one of the main jobs of photography gear oriented media. Reviews always come, if they even do, after that. To know...

In my experience with Olympus gear, their IBIS based dust removal at power-on takes care of most dust. If there's something left even after a couple of off-on cycles, an air blower usually won't...

Just for the record, while I haven't heard back from quad9 yet, it seems the block has been removed; I can reach the site now...

Now that's really interesting, thanks for the hint @mick232. I'm using quad9, and it turns out it's blocking orwo.shop intentionally (sees a threat there somehow). As far as I can tell, quad9...
