    Fuji Fuji New Rangefinder form!

    Yow, I just saw this on NikonRumors yesterday. That is sweet. Why did it take someone so long to do this? I have heard only gushing positives from every internet forum that's talking about it. If they don't rush this to market soon and slap a $500-800 price tag on it, they're missing the boat...

    Leica The Leica look - what makes it, what is it?

    I think there is a Leica look. It has to do with several things, not the least of which is that if you're that serious and spend that much money on a camera, you're probably pretty serious about your photography. So a lot of folks who shoot Leica and do it for a long time inevitably become...

    Olympus M. Zuiko Digital 14-150mm f/4-5.6 Lens Review

    Terrific Review! Great review, once again, Amin. Very user-focused and useful as per usual. And great news to see the Oly zoom so comparable. The Panny is a very nice lens, but for me really defeats my desires for the M4/3 system. Smaller is definitely better!

    We're not alone then - or are we? (M43)

    Doesn't help that they came out during a global recession and a saturated DSLR market. If you already have a DSLR, I don't see the average Joe "trading down" to an M4/3 camera.

    Lisa, how do you like the oft-maligned interface?

    How to become a Professional Photographer.

    That site is absolutely hilarious. I've been forwarding it for years (and I NEVER do that). If you're a designer YOU MUST READ the Pie Charts and Lost Kitten threads. You will cry.

    Panasonic Breaking News: Panasonic Leaks LX5 Specs!

    It's certainly not a compelling case to upgrade from the LX3, but I think the few changes they did make were smart ones. Extending the tele end a bit will be quite useful and should help it compete with the G11. Hopefully it doesn't compromise the 24mm side. If the sensor is more capable and...

    Micro 4/3 Finally - some sunshine!

    It is a great lens. Amazing how brown that grass is after so much rain and cloudiness! Love the detail in that tree trunk and the processing in the first shot.

    NEX-5 and NEX-3 16mm Kits are In Stock at B&H

    Anyone heard about the quality of the 16mm yet? If it's anywhere as nice as the 17mm from Panny, this might be a great little system.

    Sensor Technology "Generations"

    Really thoughtful post, Amin. I especially like the way you think your rational argument will have any impact on my GAS! ;) As you mention, the more crucial thing to consider is the lack of standards for so many aspects of the photographic process. Whether it's VR stop gain, noise-reduction...

    Sony Sony NEX5 review at dcresource

    I'd like to try one too. I'm with you, my current opinion on the camera is forged largely on the basis of that review and the interface photos. I frankly don't find it ugly as others claim. But I do feel that this camera concept should have logically been geared toward enthusiasts rather than...

    Ricoh now offering the GXR and S10 (24-72mm equivalent) kit at reduced prices

    I'd love to hear more about this camera from someone here at SC who's used one. Sounds like a very cool idea, if not terribly practical or affordable.

    Nikon Has 'New Concept' Camera in Works - Hints at Mirrorless Design

    Being a life-long Nikon man, I hate to say it, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Nikon to hit this market. They are notoriously conservative to a fault, last to market, and have not innovated beyond the DSLR segment since the mid-nineties with their under-appreciated swivel body Coolpix...

    Sony Sony's next move...

    I was really excited when I heard about this system, until I heard it was coming from Sony. For a company with so much vision, such great sense of style and such a formidable R&D budget, it's shocking how much they can miss the mark sometimes. My overall impression of Sony has always been that...

    Sony I got one! So far I like it!

    I'd be interested in hearing more about your user experiences, Silat. The NEX system is exactly what I'd like to start seeing---smallish RF bodies with APS-C sensors. Match that with pancakes and primes, and you've got a bag-cam worth toting around. However, the NEX looks quite botched where...

    Sony Sony's next move...

    Heh. I think we'd all love a digital Contax G2. Sharp, amazing lenses. Fast, reliable AF. Simple interface. Intuitive manual overrides. The M9 is a beautiful FF RF in just about every way, but optional AF in 2010 is simply not negotiable for me. So just as in the film days, the G2 would be an...

    Panasonic LX5-What does it need to have to get you to part with your cash?

    Bigger Sensor, No Fiddly Lens Cap! As an early adopter of the LX3, I have to say it will be a tough camera to improve. It's already nearing the outer edge of an acceptable compact size, and I wouldn't want to slow down that big, beautiful F2 lens. The laws of physics always rudely intrude...
