I think you're right, the shot at 250mm looks terrific. Now I just have to figure out what to switch out of the camera lineup. Thank you very much for the comparison shots, that was very helpful.

Dale that's actually very good news. I understand that the lens will be relatively softer at longer FLs but wow it was soft for DPreview. If that one was a faulty lens as well then this is definitely going to beat out the rx100 iv as my choice for a pocketable camera.

Dale how would you compare the IQ to say the rx100 series? I'm curious because I was going to pull the trigger on the zs100 but the sample photos on DPreview looked extremely soft. There was even a discussion about whether or not the images needed to be reshot (they never were). Thanks

Interested in the 17mm, how much is shipping to PA, USA?

Good point on the liveview, it is slow turning on in the Nikon. However, I had a chance to play around with a friend's Canon 70d with the dual pixel focus and found liveview to be much more accessible not to mention the accuracy and quickness of the AF. If they had that on the 7dII along with a...

Yes, you're exactly correct. Also, having cycled through a number of cameras recently I've begun to appreciate a flip out screen. I know the d750 has one but I still don't like shooting in Nikon's live view. I'm 'assuming' that since the d5500 has a touch screen shutter like the one found on...

I haven't seen a dx that's a 2.8 constant, which is what I was comparing in the links. I think the Tamron will do well though. The Nikon kit lens was OK but not stellar imho.

That is some food for thought. I haven't given Pentax a gander in quite some time. But, once you stick a 2.8 zoom on there, it's back to Nikon size. Compact Camera Meter I realized that I'm not familiar with Pentax glass at all. I'll check slrgear and see how it compares IQ and price wise...

well, none of them are pocketable but the d5500 is lighter than an x-t1 with the new fuji 2.8 lens. Granted, if you keep the kit lens on the fuji it's smaller and lighter than the nikon. Point is, once these guys start increasing in quality glass then the size differences diminish. I shoot...

Yeah, that's where Nikon is lagging. I would end up using the tamron for a normal range zoom and the tokina for a wide.

If you want fast AF and small size, this may work: Compact Camera Meter I've had a lot of headaches with Nikon lately but if you can find a good DX lens then this model may have what I'm looking for in a travel camera. The ideal would be the Olympus but I don't like the IQ. Love the fuji but...

Very cute and not too small. My oldest came in at that weight, hasn't slowed him down lol.

I'm curious if they'll let themselves really innovate with the next coolpix A model or not. It could be amazing or they could take the cannon approach of incrementally improving existing tech. We'll see but I'm betting their starting price will be around the original Coolpix A price so it'll...

Glad I got my d610 as a trade for a truly defective d600. If I payed full price for it I'd be pretty ticked off about the discounts and the consumer image that follows the D6xx series. Gray market d750 is going for $1799.00. I wouldn't buy gray market nikon but man, the price is dropping...

Ray, maybe I should start a new thread but since we were discussing the low light / dynamic range of the new d750 vs the Df, here are some interesting results, both 2nd TRY : D750 - D610 RAW high ISO comparison - no difference??: Nikon FX SLR (DF, D1-D5, D600-D850) Talk Forum: Digital...

It's here and it feels like an old friend came home. Very happy indeed.

Ricoh GR on order. For street photography it simply can't be beat IMO. I considered the coolpix A after it's price dropped but with the AF firmware update, one handed operation and the fact that I already have a charger and spare batteries I'm going back to it as my street camera. Thanks for all...

True on Kai buuuuuuut at least he is comical and more than occasionally helpful. TCS is helpful but rarely comical IMO. Their G7x review was neither helpful or comical. Alas, I missed my opportunity to become the youtube camera thrashing sensation lol

I'm finding the x100s odd control wise (at least for me) since I have my dslr set up to expose to the right, literally. Shutter speed, aperture and exp comp all set to turn right to under expose. The opposite of fuji

I had the same thought but didn't want to say it. Who knew YouTube celebrities would exist in the camera review world lol

Could be early production issues. I know that in the video they were focusing on a field. Saw the camera labs review and it seemed fine to me. Who knows. How many times can you return defective cameras to amazon before they flag your account?

That's the point, they weren't when they should have been.

Yes, I've found their reviews to be increasingly nitpicky although I do have to credit them for me going toward the GR instead of the Nikon coolpix, although the price factor also had a lot to do with it. Having said that, I just checked amazon and the Nikon is at the same price as the Ricoh and...

Yep, I did that with the previous model I had to send back. Wow, it really made a difference.

Ray, why do you think they had such a bad experience with the AF on the G7x? I'm very curious because 1. I remember when they compared the rx100iii it's AF was significantly slower than the GM1 and 2. The G7x was going to be my go everywhere pocket cam. Any insights are welcome, thanks!

Ray, that's a good point about the baked in NR. I should have specified that in my original post. I've been using the x100s for jpg shooting only, mainly because I'm looking for something with an easier workflow that doesn't require much time in post. After reading the reviews of fuji's jpg...

Thanks for the advice, I'm taking a long weekend biz trip to S. Korea at the end of the month and will most likely have a new GR with me. Although its sensor isn't as great at high iso the handling and controls cannot be beat. I was out shooting last night with the fuji and it was frustrating. I...

I absolutely love the images I'm getting from the x100s but, for street photography it's way too slow when compared to the ricoh gr. I've tried all the different AF settings as well as zone focus and zone focus is really the only way I can get any satisfactory images. I see that if I changed my...

Wow that was an impulse buy on my part...order cancelled. I'm holding strong waiting for the G7X to come out.

Just thought I'd pass this along since I'm in my testing GAS stage and just bought one. It's for a refurbished J3 in black. Last time it was in white and sold out by the time I checked the site. I'm figuring it's a relatively safe purchase in the sense that if I really don't like the camera...

I'm borrowing an x100s for a bit. I can see why people like it and I feel as though I've missed out on two years of great photography with the fuji sensor but for street shooting I can also see why the ricoh has the following it does, handling and functionality. The iso 6400 doesn't blow me away...

Nice, thanks for the answer, I appreciate it.

Ray, how's the shutter lag compared to the Ricoh GR? I'm assuming it's different but I'm curious how well it works for street photography.

Ray, Canon is good about registering and servicing gray market hardware. They'll even let you sign up for their pro membership using that gear. If I was going full frame with canon I wouldn't hesitate to go gray market even on a $3k camera. The G7x should be covered.

Thanks for the review and I really like that it's coming from a street photography perspective. I think this answered my earlier question :)

Gents thanks for the great recommendations. Ray, you're right and I probably should have started by looking at what to do with my dslr. On the d750 I saw some samples on flickr and the poster stated that the high iso is almost as good as the DF while the DR is improved: Flickr Search Here's a...

Gentlemen and Ladies, thank you for the helpful posts. Ray, you actually hit the nail on the head. Ideally I would keep the GR and get a pocket zoom camera. I think that's why I went with the used GR - great lens but damaged motor. (FYI lensauthority was great to deal with on the return. The...

I just sent back my second Ricoh GR. This time it was a used body from lensauthority (they were great to deal with by the way). This one had a grinding AF motor that I don't think anyone would have picked up on unless they dealt with Ricoh most of the time. The first one had really nasty coma...

If the high iso tests look good then this might be a great camera. Hopefully the lensmap is on the same track as Fuji's.

Is that all? My wishful thinking was hoping for more. I was also hoping for Ricoh to do an update on the GR but that probably won't come until next summer. I did see their patent for a 24mm f2 lens. If they put phase AF on the crop sensor thereby remaking the IV in crop format then I'll be...

The official announcement will come out tomorrow in Berlin but here's pricing online today US $899.00 (FT5) New GM5 and LX100 to cost $899! 35-100mm for $399 - 43 Rumors

I found writing the essay and sharing the photos to be very helpful. Like John, I find my cameras to be my safety blanket in those times and I wish I had taken some photos inside St. Paul's church when the rescue workers used it as a resting area. I actually didn't have those rolls of film...

I wrote this photo essay four years ago. Until recently, I had not been able to watch the videos from that day. http://jpgmag.com/stories/16504

Here is more info but still speculative as it's from a rumors site. However, the site has been accurate. NEW shutter on the graphite Fujifilm X-T1... but don't worry, the black will get the the electronic shutter too! - Fuji Rumors Now I'm just hoping for either the Olympus M1 getting a...

How usable is the GM1 in comparison to the GR, in terms of changing shutter, aperture and exposure comp on the fly. I don't expect it to be nearly as street friendly as the GR but is it at least 50% of the way there?

You and me both will have to wait to see how it works once it comes out. According to amazon the x100t with electronic shutter will be out before the new X-T1, but I don't know when they'll roll out the firmware updates. Until then, it's hard to say. I don't know if it'll have the same issues as...

Since I ask an inordinate amount of less than intelligent questions I thought I would open with a good one ;) There seemed to be some confusion between Fuji's press releases since Fuji USA forgot to mention the silent shutter firmware upgrade for existing X-T1 owners, but Fuji headquarters...

Now that the X-T1 will get the firmware silent shutter upgrade, do you think that will change or is it strictly more noticeable, than the x100, because of it's size and shape?
