A red “Reica” logo on top right would have been perfect.

On article Nikon is developing a 26mm F2.8 Z-mount lens (288 comments in total)

Only if Nikon make a full frame body similar to Sony RX1… this lens would be a perfect fit for that.

I don’t think that it is the actual “product” image. The characters - “NIKKOR” are laid almost in line, even though they are located in right-most side. Maybe, only this part is photoshopped?

Charlie Jin: Whatever it is… I am tired of managing two different types of cables. Purchasing iphone 14 means that I have to such stupidity at least for a few more years. I will say, NO. Enough is enough. Besides my 11pro Max is still good.

“Better” is not the issue. It’s the compatibility and convenience of managing things in everyday life. iPhone 14 is like the last Beta video cassette player, when VHS became standard all over the world and its performance improved better than Beta. Anyway, after a year, iphone 15 will come with usbC.

Yes, I have only two :-)
I have three wireless chargers which I rarely use - slow, don’t charge fully or does’t charge at all if slightly misplaced. And the case has to taken off. Some accessories (like phone holder) cannot be attached.
I got rid of most of non-USBC things. Certain usbB thigs are still here but they are not essential or not in daily use, so they don’t bother me at all. But the phone? Never. Enough is enough.

Just wondering whether Sony would truely cooperate so that smartphones might eat their camera business…

I think that one of the many reasons why Apple wanted to move to M1
Chip is that Hack’Intosh may not be possible any more (or at least extremely difficult even with the best possible Intel hardware) so that just buying an M1 macbook is cheaper than trying Hack’Intosh.

Great sense of humor 🤣
If Sony used full frame sensor, that would be exceptional.

Malling, I think that you will be laughed at 😅
I especially like the idea of doing zoom meeting while doing something else on the bottom half screen in half folded (90 degree ) state.

It just did this Sept, on the other side of the earth. One of my friends who just bought the foldable told me he would never go back to the unfoldable. So, I said that I would never go to the foldable. But that might change… Because it looks like it’s all real, not the prototype nor early adopter thingy…

Would small smartphone lens also be able to match such resolution ?

Francis85: The only problem I see forthcoming here is the update policy.
So far updates on Android based phones are generally poor and short lived.

Now this is Leica want would at least expect a 5+ year support like on iOS devices.

Actually, Samsung support 5+ years. It’s just that the software update is not as frequent as iPhone. The main reason why Android cannot support longer years is that there are new hardware changes in such a short time period. Apple can instrument these changes (Apple ends up being late in new hardware, new tech)

The cap will be only the price of an iphone 12.

Neil, I totally agree with you. But I was not talking about “purchase”, I was talking about the “review” itself.
