While the retracting lens may be one more vector for dust ingress, it's only one vector. There is no reason to assume the X70 won't suffer from dust ingress, it isn't environmentally sealed...

@Thermidor,

I guess if you are the kind of shooter who likes to stop shooting, adjust how how are holding the camera, make the changes you want, then resume the shooting grip, then the Ricoh won't...

It's not an unreasonable point, but I think the proof lies in a quantity analysis. How many X70 shots will suffer from edge softness? 100%. How GR shots will suffer dust issues? >1%?

I'm sure you...

In this and some other Fujifilm cameras, I agree that X-Trans is a negative. However, it is primarily the 16MP APS-C versions of X-Trans that have issues.

The new 24MP APS-C X-Trans III is very...

It's important to bare in mind that your presumptions are mostly in your head. Specifically, these 'poor souls' are mostly in your head. They are not me or other Aperture users I know. You are ...

Little point putting in the much better X-Trans 3 sensor given the lens' optical performance. This is built down to a price and unfortunately it probably show just a little too much.

Id love a...

No, the Nikon coolpix A is a little better in performance than this Fuji. But Ricoh GR is a little better still, so they use only the GR for comparison. All three are very nice, but the GR has...

I might have a mint condition one for sale soon. What would you think is a fair price?

A lens can't be measured without some kind of imaging sensor. The scene being transmitted by the lens is focussed as an image onto the sensor. The sensor then captures that image. So there are 2 ...

As much fun as it is to spectate on this, I would bet money the simple explanation for the lack of Foveon support is down to Sigma not sharing the required technical data. To me it's the only ...

Since my GXR (with S10 module) was stolen about 5 years ago, I've been looking for a chance to replace it. Here in Thailand, the GXR is readily on sale, but usually at quite high prices, so I've ...

see Here ;-)

No. It was just a thought. The wording above was that it was the electronics of the focus motor, not the act of focusing (which is obvious anyway as focusing has already finished when th exposure ...

The lack of general availability of good wine here in Thailand has been the hardest part of adapting. I've even gone back to drinking beer sometimes and have the belly to prove it. There are a few ...

Thanks for the reply. The comment had a double purpose. I noted the OP has as one of his requirements as shooting family indoors, which raised a slight flag for me in terms of his body choices. I ...

Jacques, How have you found the focussing speed in comparison to the N1, especially indoors for capturing kids?

I'd have swapped you a virtually new (used only to test it works) E-M5 original (not mk2) and a nice lens, in exchange for a Nikon 1 V3. I've not given up hope for V4/5 but it would be fun to have ...

Yes that's true Nick, but there were some reported issues with some early live view cameras too. I'm pretty sure one of them was Canon as I remember a thread about back when I was shooting Canon ...

The 'cap' on the 5D2 lived on the carrying strap: Yes, now the problem known, it's the kind of thing I'd expect to be addressed on the Mk2

... Great, please post back when you got it all working. For now, I'll stick with what's working now.
