It is always a shame when OP's don't follow up when they ask questions.  But still, I think the general discussion (if it's constructive) can be useful to others. Jim

The Q2 is a compromised camera, but then any camera is a compromise. Whilst there is always going to be some level of demand for other fixed focal lengths, the Q2 would suit most people who want ...

Hello Vetteran As pointed out by myself and others - I think perhaps you are on a different track to me. I don't wish to come over as full of myself, but I have been a full time portrait and ...

Precisely - this is why it's quite possible to crop the 28mm image from a Q2 to a 50mm with no distortion.  I'm not talking about walking closer to the subject to keep them the same size. ...

I've been a full-time professional photographer for 24 years and I've owned a Q2 for about two and a half years.  It is a fantastic camera and I use it for much professional work as well as ...

I think they are - unless you want to really be very narrow in a definition. I do know one guy who claimed that if the picture was mainly of the sea, with just a bit of land it could not be a...
