I like it a lot. That's all that matters to me.

Well, this and the bed-wetting thing.

I was perusing the review here of the Panasonic LX10 and it's noted there:
"The LX10 repeats Panasonic's odd decision to put a marked aperture ring on a camera with a variable maximum aperture." And it's brought up again, listed as a "con" on the conclusion page. AND, in their conclusion, "an aperture ring with F-number markings on a variable aperture camera makes no sense."

They really seem to see this as a big negative - but when Sony does it, not a word about it.

Or - did I miss something???

I'm waiting for the RX1R II RR2 IV RX. How many is that?

I can coax nice results from a 1/1.7 BSI sensor but I've never gotten good results with a 1/2.3 sensor. Use the bigger sensor in a super-zoom? 1" sensor requires a camera that's too bulky for me. Oh well. Maybe next time.

I'd have been pleased with nothing more than a tilt screen. I'm not a fan of add-on viewfinders. However a tilting LCD screen makes shooting so much easier in bright sunlight and makes those odd shooting positions do-able. Oh well.

I have one of those sharp-from-corner-to-corner-even-wide-open lenses. It's on a lowly Nikon P330. Fantastic sensor or fantastic lens, pick one cause you can't have both. Sigh.

As with predecessors, a great design. But in front of that technology you need a great lens, and that's where Sony falls short. I bought the II model and found what some other owners reported, the lens is soft away from the center. Perhaps it's copy variation, but I can't afford to buy and re-sell in the event I don't get lucky.

Very informative article, thank you for the work put into it.

I've shot Antelope Canyon - upper and lower - 3 times. At or near noon the sun will provide the beam of light as shown. You have someone stand in a crevice and throw dust into the light. Lots of photogs do the same thing there. It's fun and creates drama. I'll have to check my archives and look for the right phantom. Maybe I'm rich??? I'm calling my realtor.

Several times, with the X20 I clicked "add to cart", but the words "Tends to smudge fine details (even at ISO 100)" kept me from purchasing. I can compromise on a lot, but not IQ.

Now I read that the guts of the X30 remain the same as the X20. Ughhh!

I just downloaded it and had a go with it. Some very useful filters there. I don't use filters as a rule, but included here are some B/W, tonal, contrast masking, etc filters - very usable stuff.

While installing I got a pop-up that my video card was not sufficient to run the program. I clicked OK and I figured the install would abort. But it continued and the program runs perfectly.

I was always impressed with the IQ right up to the edges with my G1X. Image #0135, the corners make me wonder what's going on here???

Uncomfortable, too big for the camera, lots of metal parts to scratch the camera/LCD screen. But it looks great so give it 4.5 stars.

Can you say S_H_A_L_L_O_W ?

There are a couple of interesting images there. Maybe two.

Please please please - dynamic range.

To help with making a decision one often makes two lists - One list of Pros and one list of Cons. When the Cons list is significantly longer, well.....

Freaking hilarious!

Page 233 of the manual - "Recording still pictures while recording motion pictures", "During motion picture recording, press the shutter button fully to record a still picture."

Gold or silver, tin or cow patty - why would this matter? I've never walked around with my camera, feeling better that a reviewer called it gold.

I've had my GX7 for about 5 weeks and it continues to please me more each time I use it. The level of customization available is fantastic, ergonomics and build quality are top-drawer, EVF and IQ are on a par with my NEX-6. The icing on the cake is that the menus make sense to me.

The review seems to be a fair one. (But I must have the only GX7 ever made that consistently UNDER-exposes. Hmmmm)

I suspect anyone who prefers a rangefinder-style camera will find little to fault with the GX7.
