    For the same price, two totally different options?

    Thank you all for your replies! I am now 99% decided and might pull the trigger tomorrow. My choice is neither. If everything goes well, I am going to get a Sony RX1. Both the Fuji and the Oly are great cameras without a doubt, but they are also systems... And if I know myself enough, if I...

    For the same price, two totally different options?

    I was talking about size and weight difference between the whole systems... Like the Fuji 23 vs Oly 17, Fuji 56 vs Oly 45 and 75, Fuji 16-55 2.8 vs Oly 12-40 2.8 and so on... I fear the fuji as a system, will be much like a DSLR, ending up staying at home due to size, weight, bags needed...

    For the same price, two totally different options?

    Hi, I still can't make up my mind between the E-M5 kit with two piece grip, 12-50 and 17 1.8 and the Fuji... I want to get the Fuji, mainly because of their primes, like the 23mm and 56mm. But the Oly is also on my mind. What I came to: Oly Pros: - IBIS - Without the grip and with a pancake...

    For the same price, two totally different options?

    Hi, I am curious on why you had Fuji and now the E-M5... As far as prices, I can get the X-E1 with 18-55 for 600 and the X-E2 with 18-55 for 950. The lenses are worse... The 23 1.4 goes For 775 and the 56 for 875. Cheers!

    For the same price, two totally different options?

    Hello, How are you? I will be going on Honeymoon on the end of the month and would like to buy a new camera to take with me. I have my eye on the Sony RX1, now that the prices have dropped. From what I read, the lens is one of the best 35mm out there. And the weeding between the lens...

    Travel camera: Nikon V1 or Canon G1X? What is the better option?

    Hello, Thank you all for participating. I have placed the V1 option to the side. It is a very good price right now and the camera has some good things going, like the AF and EVF, but the sensor size, combined with the slow kit lens is a deal breaker, so I am currently focusing on either the G1X...

    Travel camera: Nikon V1 or Canon G1X? What is the better option?

    Hello, Thank you for participating. I see the RX100 was mentioned a couple of times. Why is it said to be better than the G1X? Is it just a matter of size? Cheers!

    Travel camera: Nikon V1 or Canon G1X? What is the better option?

    Hello, How are you? Technology has these things... Something is new and very expensive and some time later, that same thing is no longer the newest thing and as such, it is not the most expensive thing either... This is true for both the Nikon V1 and the Canon G1X. Both these cameras...

    Nikon Nikon v1 worth it at discount?

    Hello, How are you? Today I saw the Nikon v1 with the 10-30, new, at the price of 260 euros. That is half the price of the rx100 and cheaper than any other advanced compact. I currently have no camera and shoot only casual shots with the iPhone 5. I lost interest in photography and the whole...

    Nokia Pureview 808

    Thank you for your reply. So, the 808 can sync my gmail email account with no problems? When I see and reply to mails on the Nokia, it syncs to the gmail, right? Also, I have all my contacts on the google account. I don't have contacts on the phone or SIM card. My phone syncs the contacts from...

    Nokia Pureview 808

    Hello, Thank you very much for your insights. I am finding it very useful as I am considering an 808 for myself. I have just a few questions, if you can help me out. First, how is the lossless zoom of the 808? I know the lens is 28mm equivalent on 4:3 format. That is a great focal length, but...

    Nokia 808 or small Compact for me? Help me out please.

    Hello, So, the topic pretty much states it all... I am searching for a practical and convenient way to take pictures. I've had big DSLR kits. Wasn't taking them out much. Decided to sell it all and invest in Micro Four Thirds. Was convinced that the smaller size of m43 would make me shoot...

    Sony Rx100 size vs other options?

    Thank you for the replies. I ry don't know. The sony looks really small, but when in shooting position, with the lens extended, i think it is not that smaller than let's say a gx1 with the leica 25mm... Ok that it's a combo without zoom, but for the amount of shooting I do, I think it would be...

    Sony Rx100 size vs other options?

    Hello. How are you? I am really having cold feet about the rx100. I keep reading lots of praises to the camera, but also some negatives... And today I saw the s100 for half the price of the sony... and that got me thinking... Sure the sony has a bigger sensor and that has to give advantages in...

    Sony Rx100 size vs other options?

    Hello. So, I went ahead and sold two lenses from my m43 kit. Now I have funds to order the rx100. I just don't know if I should... I've built my m43 kit very recently only to find I didn't use it hardly enough to justify the cost. So, should I buy the rx100? Buy a cheaper compact like an s95...

    Sony Rx100 size vs other options?

    What I read is that the lens is a good lens, but it is not the best in regard to corner sharpness and CA wide open. There are some reviews online that point this out. For a normal use I'm sure it is more than fine. I was just curious if the faster lens and smaller sensor of the xz-1 would be a...

    Sony Rx100 size vs other options?

    Today I was reading, that in fact the sensor on the Sony RX100 seems to be really good, but the lens is found to be a bit lacking... On the other hand, the Olympus XZ-1 has a smaller sensor, but a lens that is regarded as sharper and it is a faster lens. So, what is best? Does the bigger sensor...

    Sony Rx100 size vs other options?

    I had a Full Frame kit with a Canon 5D and a couple of lenses. Since it was not getting used I decides to trade it for a m43 kit. I've built a pretty good m43 kit, but I'm finding I'm not using it also. I just use it when I travel, and even for that, I think a compact would be enough. I enjoy...

    Sony Rx100 size vs other options?

    Hello. How are you? I've been reading quite a lot about the rx100 for the last couple of days and I must say I am feeling really tempted to order one as a always with me camera, mainly due to it's really compact size. However, I would like to know how the Sony compares to the smallest m43...

    Thinking about new system: NEX or Micro Four Thirds? The now and the future?

    So... Yesterday I had a decisive moment... Went to a local store for a little walk with my wife and came out with a new camera... The store had an Olympus E-PL2 with the 14-42 II for 200 Euros. I liked the feel of the camera and since the store has a 15 day no questions asked return policy, I...

    Thinking about new system: NEX or Micro Four Thirds? The now and the future?

    Hello, Thank you all for your participation! I think I have somewhat narrowed down my choices... As much as the Nex-7 seems like a great camera, the lack of lenses is weighing down my choice. I would rahter have a system with lenses I like and are usefull. So, I think i'm narrowed to: -...

    Thinking about new system: NEX or Micro Four Thirds? The now and the future?

    This is still very puzzling... And I just feel I should make a decision and stick with it... The longer I stay stuck in this equipment reviews and forums, the less time I am actually shooting. So, I have pretty much 4 contenders now... - Nex-7 - Nex 5N - NX200 - GX1 The NEX-7 is the most...

    Looking for a compact to complement my DSLR. Please give your input

    Hello, I did thought about the X10. But like it has been said, it is more expensive than the XZ-1, I just didn't think it added enough to justify the added cost. I did like the zoom ring on the lens instead of the power-zoom on the Olympus, but I also like the ring control dial on the XZ-1. The...
