"In shot:
1. Pentax just does not know how to make a good camera
2. Pentax can not make a good camera."
What an incredibly silly thing to say. Obviously coming from someone who knows nothing of...

TGx allows for more user control. Also has (or had) better burst. And if memory serves (increasingly doubtful these days) brighter lens and better IQ.

Small sensors are even worse when they are jammed with 16mp. 12mp is plenty and generates far better images. Still trying to understand the reason for 16mp.

So far it's two to one, with leaky cameras ahead.
For consumers, the units that leak are more significant than the ones that don't, as indicators of reliability.

Camera reviews by dpreview staff are easy to find via the "Reviews" tab.  They may be ordered and searched in a number of ways. Is there anything like this on the site for user reviews? I know that ...

Just looked at the sample images taken on Maui; very nice.
Question: how does one get a focal length of 4.5mm with this camera? This is posted in the specs for one shot; many others are under...

This is fine if you don't do much long-distance long tele shooting, but if you do the FZ1000 does not have enough reach.  GX7, G7 or GX8 with 100-300mm (and in the future the recently-announced ...

Amazing how these threads manage to get totally off topic so fast.  Just give me a minute to think of something to say about my Pentax...or maybe the Sony a77II...or the price of butter in Ulan Bator.

I have a GX7 and like it a lot, but if the G7 had been available at the time I would have bought it instead.  (I waited a year to buy the GX7 so the price was under $700.)  IBIS is not needed if ...

Your eloquence is impressive.  But it detracts and distracts from your otherwise interesting points. More eloquence, further detraction/distraction.

One problem with the a6000 is the lack of lens selection.  If they have the one you use, great.  If you want, say, a good long zoom, they don't have it.  a6000 video is also mediocre at best. As ...

Sorry, but "pixel peeping" is a lazy, vague and pejorative term used by those who don't care about (or need) clean detail in their images to describe those who do.

Serban, Thank you for taking the time and effort to create and post the comparison shots.  Talking is just talk; images say much more.  Very welcome contribution.

The FZ1000 is extremely versatile, no doubt about it. But the comments about Nikon are a bit questionable. I don't own a Nikon and I don't personally care for them. But I do know that based on the ...

You might want to expand the range of choices and buy a GX7 (or, if you have the $$, a GX8) and a 100-300mm lens to go with it.  Then, when the 100-400mm hits the market, you could buy that and ...

But we are living in a world filled with people for whom everything is equally valid; graffiti and body piercings are considered to be great art and great masses will stand in line for days, if...

Thank God it's still possible for the rest of us to get on with real life, and enjoy looking at real objects, people and scenery in real time.

The GX7 can be had for $500, and it has great video as well as stills, and very nice feature set. For that matter, the G7 can be had for $750 including kit lens (here's hoping they allow for...

" a mini dslr"
Not at all.
1. No mirror, which confers a number of advantages (like being able to shoot video while using the VF).
2. Crop factor which is either good or bad depending on your uses....

Trk sez:
"MFT lenses are now old design and will not improve"
And what is the evidence leading the to conclusion that they will not improve?
While we're at it, what are you trying to prove? You...
