Speed Graphic for sure :-) I was in high school working for my uncle who had a photographic studio and camera shop. Someone came in wanting to sell a 4x5 Speed Graphic. My uncle didn't want it to ...

I had both a G2 and G3 and found that both gave superb image quality. I have several very good 12" x 18" prints from those 4MP cameras.

I started with a Kodak Tourist folding camera. 620 film, 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 negatives, /200 shutter and f/4.5 lens :-)  Next was a Leica IIIf with 50mm Summitar, bought at wholesale from my ...

Another reason to move up to the RX100 III is that the lens is 24mm equiv at its widest instead of 28. I find that important for many landscape shots. Plus I fully agree that the EVF makes ...

Many OM-1 cameras have been converted for use of available batteries. I had mine converted, then sold it on ebay several years later. If I were looking for a small 35mm film SLR, it would be the OM-1.

I agree with you and with my RX100 III use "P" mode (with Auto ISO) except when I want a specific aperture and/or shutter speed.

Focusing looks to be perfect. Did you AF in the viewfinder or live view?

My RX100 III has the BSI sensor and f/2.8 lens at full zoom (70mm equiv). I shoot RAW and convert with DxO using its Prime noise reduction on high ISO images. IMO I get great images even at ISO 6400.

All that doesn't change the fact (or opinion) that this "review'" was ridiculously incomplete.

I'm pretty sure the reviewer meant that this new kit 18-55mm lens has a maximum lens opening of f/4 instead of the f/3.5 of the prior kit 18-55mm lens.

I agree. If it's intended to be a full review, it's almost ridiculous.

That's the only part of your post that I don'[ agree with. The value of scenery-only shots is up to the artist/photographer, not whether there is a digital content explosion on the internet (or a ...

I've never NOT used a USB (powered) hub for firmware updates for all digital cameras I've had :-)

I really don't know about the cables, but I'll add that the instructions were to connect the cable directly to the computer, not through a USB hub. I connected through a powered hub anyway and had ...

I don't know about the UK, but I've bought and sold several cameras with success on ebay, including buying my 650D there 2 1/2 years ago.

I think that summarizes it perfectly. It's up to you to see what you prefer.

I keep a card reader plugged into my computer. Then all I have to do is remove the card from the camera and pop it into the reader.

For sure. Actually, this is the first time I've encountered a shot from my RX100 III that I thought needed my 650D instead (not including wanting a longer lens, etc). I find that amazing.

I didn't use zebras, but did use negative exposure comp until there were no more flashing lights during review. But there were still some blown highlights, and after raising the darker areas they ...
