RoyGBiv: I agree 100%. I thought exactly the same thing when reading the article. It started out OK explaining focal length and crop factors then lost a lot of credibility in my mind when it made...

Albert, the crop-sensor is not noisier because it is smaller – it is noisier because each light gathering element on the sensor is (normally) smaller… and that assumes the same level of technology;...

Why do you think these cameras are meant for DSLR shooters? DSLR shooters use DSLRs (by definition). These cameras are primarily for point and shoot photographers who want something better than...

Said every manufacturer who is seeing their point and shoot camera sales plummet due to smart phones and now need to produce a line of compact cameras that have better image quality than their...

Everytime a camera manufacturer releases a new camera, I assume it was purely for my benefit then I get upset if the camera does suit my particular needs. Then I go onto camera website forums and...

I have a better idea... how about a camera that automatically puts a black rectangle over the eyes of people in the photo, hiding their identity? This would be useful for people who work in the...

Just as well. Zeiss doesn't have the licences to make auto focus lenses for Canon or Nikon mounts

AH,

The point of my post was there are quite a few photographers who shoot with primes, some exclusively with primes. The X100 series is aimed at the prime shooters. Putting a zoom on it makes it...

My thinking exactly. 40mm was a popular focal length for the fixed lens cameras of the 60's and 70's for good reason. I have a Canonet GIII QL17, the Rollei 35 S plus a few other classic fixed...

There are dozens of fixed zoom lens cameras on the market... why don't you buy one of those?
