The gallery you have at the bottom is definitely not the RX-100; it's the Sony NEX F3.

Likely not. Not because that wouldn't ultimately yield good results (although I'm doubtful of that), but because photojournalism is all about getting the photo to HQ ASAP. I would guess that these photogs have photos out less than an hour after they took them, maybe sooner. No one wants old news.

You can actually see a hexagonal cut pattern. Some of the cuts go past the "eye socket" itself, making it look like an extremely poorly done amateur job.

That third eye looks so fake. Looks like someone took a knife, cut a hole in its head, and plopped a fish eye from another fish in there. Are you sure this is legit?

Sooo....you're saying we should just find everything out from Japan because it already happened?

You are right.

nope. just...nope. not to be condescending, but you should read up on the way Sigma designed their sensor and how the rest of the industry designs their sensors. Nikon would never, ever do that. None of their sensors have ever been like that, and it's doubtful they ever would be unless there was a massive industry…

This is not really true. You're confusing what is sufficient (i.e. 12 MP is totally sufficient for a 27" iMac) with what makes a difference (i.e. more megapixels can mean a higher sharpness and better color accuracy). The former is subjective; the latter is objective.

Actually, as someone that has studied in France and speaks French, this is not too terribly off. While French people don't just go around making that noise, when the French speak they sort of don't leave breaks in between words like we do. The result is that you have that sort of low noise that that guy was making…

~$600 would be a bit expensive. The fact that they haven't released the price yet, though, suggests to me you're probably right about that. I might put it closer to $500, but that's still above what a similarly spec'd camera would cost from Canon, Nikon, or Panasonic etc.

It's not the "herky-jerky motion" that makes things seem like toys- it's the fact that the photographer used a tilt-shift lens (or a program mimicking it) to mess with your sense of depth.

no seriously though, apple is definitely a douche in terms of IP stuff but china is pretty much exempt from all that

wait. you are asking. if someone. in china... will get sued... for IP infringement? baaa hahaha.

It's not really that technically impressive that they fit a crop sensor in a small body. They've been fitting full frame film in small bodies for years and years (rangefinders ftw!), and during the 90s small cameras fell out of fashion. Now they're back. That's about it. You could easy have made the NEX cameras…

It's not about how much space it takes up. It's about following the local rules of the court. What happened in this case was the patent court had a rule saying "All briefs must be filed using 12-point font" or something like that. Apple filed their brief using 11-point font. Honestly, this is an amateur mistake…

This is actually quite normal, and not really that petty on the part of Microsoft. They are probably trying, a little bit, to give the Apple lawyers a headache, but honestly, the Apple lawyers were pretty unprofessional to violate the court's local rules like that. I'm in the midst of writing a legal brief myself,…

Well, I think EVERYONE understands that no one would be crazy enough to put a translucent mirror in their camera. That's clear to everyone. But I disagree with you in terms of whether or not it detracts from marketing. I think it does. Most novel technologies with cameras appeal to pros before they appeal to the…

They do sacrifice some. However, it's a fairly worthwhile tradeoff considering it's the same sensor as the Nikon D7000 and the Pentax K-5, which both have the best low light performance of any crop sensor DSLR. There are a lot of parents out there that want to take photos of kids playing soccer, and a fast shutter…

I think it's hilarious they call it "translucent". Which means: "allowing light, but not detailed images, to pass through"

bust out your portrait lenses folks!
