    Straps Belt clip

    Ditto Mattia. Their system, with clip, long strap, and hand strap is a great way to switch around carrying method for up to prosumer-SLR-sized cameras. And the Capture is great for having a camera securely mounted close at hand for outdoor use (hiking, cycling, etc.).

    Compact Just sold my LX5. Going to a new LX7 or a Oly XZ-2?

    The comparison here is helpful: Olympus XZ-2 review | Cameralabs LX-7 Pluses: - 24mm wide end - f/1.4 maximum aperture XZ-2 Pluses: - Tilting LCD - Touchscreen - Stabilized So consider if any of the above are critically important to you.

    Compact Just sold my LX5. Going to a new LX7 or a Oly XZ-2?

    If you don't mind spending a little more and having it a little larger/heavier, then Sony RX100 is the way to go. The LX7 and XZ-2 are both great compacts, but the RX100 is an entire paradigm shift better in IQ.

    Can a dedicated mirrorless shooter find true happiness with a DSLR?

    It's nice to read someone who is using the Df in a way that really plays to the strengths Nikon seemed to emphasize in it. That is: outfitting it with older-vintage compact primes and highlighting the low-light performance. So many people harp on it for being bigger than smaller-sensored...

    Sony Gariz Half Case for grip and Richard Franiec Grip

    Do you already have the Franiec grip? If not, then why not just get the Sony, especially since it'll be covered up by the case? I don't use a Gariz half-case (or any other) with my RX100, but I have the Sony grip on it and it's nice. I've never used the Franiec grip so I have no basis...

    Travelling light?

    Obviously you need to consult with someone in the know to be *sure*. You might try asking a travel agent who specializes in trips to Russia or maybe consulting a forum for Russian expats or travel to Russia. But my general feeling is that a lot of this is far less persnickety in reality than...

    Sony New RX100M2 taking blurry pics

    Everyone would love to do that but this depends on how well you learn how to use the camera as well as whether or not optimal settings are even possible in order to capture what you want straight out of the camera. You had three things you could've done to stop down to a smaller aperture to...

    Sony New RX100M2 taking blurry pics

    Like Luke notes, it's not a blurry picture as you can see that the woman in the glasses is sharp...or at least sharp, relative to people at different depths. They don't seem spread so far apart (depth-wise) for it to be a depth-of-field issue, but that's what it appears to be. Looking at the...

    Sony Tips and tricks?

    Change Autofocus Area so that the camera isn't deciding for you. Center focus or Flexible Spot. Easiest way is to access this through the Fn button.

    Sony Old School Leather Case for RX100

    The Gariz cases do not cover the USB latch, I believe. And they leave the strap lugs exposed, even if you use the cover attachment. So you can just use whatever neck strap you would've used anyway.

    Sony Old School Leather Case for RX100

    Look at the Gariz cases. Search for "gariz rx100 case" on eBay and you'll see options. Not sure if you have the RX100 or RX100 II...and, if you have the latter, if you have a grip on it...

    Micro 4/3 Dazed and confused for next camera (GM1, GX7, RX100ii)...

    Tilman's right about the shutter sound. For sleeping babies, SLRs or other cameras with loud shutters will wake them up. The RX100 is very nice in this regard. But, as you note, the RX100 is only f/1.8 at the wide 28mm end. At ~45mm it's more like f/3.2. 28mm is fine a lot of the time, but if...

    Fuji Fuji X vs M-43

    Maybe I wasn't clear, but I thought I was trying to say pretty much the same thing: that there are several valid options and when one really comes down to it, the right camera depends on very individual needs and preferences. Horses for courses, as you say. I thought you were saying that the...

    Sony Sony RX100 Successor

    I don't think anything really compelling will be coming out in the next few months. If you're looking for a great pocketable compact, you currently have an unprecedentedly excellent set of options. I'd narrow it down to the RX100 (I or II) versus the Ricoh GR. Get the RX100 II versus the I if...

    Sony 3rd Party WIFI software for Windows

    Wouldn't using an Eye-Fi card and software do it for you? A warning: it's not really intuitive, the user interface. At least not to me. I only use WiFi transfer in the field when I want to pull straight to a tablet/phone without a computer in-between. Otherwise, I find it a lot easier and...

    Fuji Fuji X vs M-43

    Only if you're cool with being limited to the focal lengths and also cool with f/2.8 max aperture. And ergonomics...and the Foveon processor... They're great cameras but they present a very unique list of pros and cons.

    Fuji Fuji X vs M-43

    I'm probably overstating my case, and my case is really only hypothetical, based upon the sensor size. Frankly, the introduction of the Sony A7 cameras makes me wonder if Fujifilm or others' APS-C platforms will be made comparatively archaic in a relatively short number of years from now. I...

    Fuji Fuji X vs M-43

    I can't say I agree that it's 10% vs. 50% but I think Gordon and Ray's way of breaking it down feels right to me. To me, the pertinent pros and cons as the systems stand right now: Fujifilm X-Mount: - Slightly better image quality. - Somewhat better high-ISO/low light performance. -...
