The only thing that stops me from drooling over this compact camera, is flash sync speed. I quite disagree on the GR and Coolpix part though, I'd get those in a heartbeat if installed with a...

Ok, I was a bit exaggerating and I love the LX and XZ but these are serious cameras and a larger sensor is already possible for these two. It's just that the makers chose to delay them. Now,...

I'm not surprised. Companies have milked the bottom end for too long without innovation and fought through it by lowering prices and just left it there. This story is not far from the serious...

given as a gift and i have to use it, a bigl yes. why would i refuse it, unless I'm contented with the IQ from a smartphone and with instant sharing.

@rallyfan you have a point, from a Sigma fan here. As a non-Merrill owner, I couldn't believe the Merrill's have less battery life and camera/SPP performance compared to the previous generation....

by the time it gets cheaper, there would a be new a camera which is more compelling.

agreed. too expensive for my taste where image quality of this level can be get from an EPL5.

I went to his website and I thought plenty of the photographs have good image quality which I thought couldn't possible with a polaroid or even a digital camera.

DPR might have been looking at the pixel level, while the others at a reduced size comparison.

Agreed. Sigma owners know this and if I'm going to consider the Ricoh or Nikon, I should be able to compare them in RAW. Besides, the SD1M comparison image is present, somewhere. It's not very...

It's because a Sigma can't do JPEGs. DPR should have included the DP1M's RAW even if they have to reduce it's sharpness setting to -2.0 in Sigma Photo Pro.

nice debates since the announcement of this lens. yet, if i had this lens, I'd probably use it less than other lens out there. it's truly a beast in size and weight, only perfect for indoor,...

It's the Canon.

not possible in 2008? there was.....

Unbelievable, with very practical focal lengths. I wonder why Canikon, doesn't have something similar. Is it due to size? This one is really huge yet if you're shooting indoors, this is the beast...

EVFs are going to have a story similar to the megapixel race.

I would rather save money and put up with the size of a Canon G1X.

I think I've found the answer to as why there is little difference outside having a huge MP count. It is due to manufacturers slightly weakening the filter throughout the years.
Besides, a high...

People buying in this focal length has another camera(s) in their possession. Pretty expensive to add to what we already have. Speaking of sensor, it is a sensor from the D7000 which is still good...

I'm not teaching you on IQ, I'm just saying if you don't appreciate the difference in IQ then it's overkill for you but not the "most people" that you say, though it is valid if you refer "most...
