jsrockit Posted September 27, 2010 Share #463 Posted September 27, 2010 You think this is bad? Try 10,000 posts about a headphone that was not even released yet. This is childs play in comparison. Yes, geeks tend to get out of hand when it comes to equipment... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phancj Posted September 28, 2010 Share #464 Posted September 28, 2010 Something I posted in the X100 forum: If I may point out something else: When the nex was launched, the X1 was slammed for being too rigid, no interchangeable lens means no future, blah blah blah. Now that some "Nexphiles" suddenly became Fujiphiles then the whole process starts again, except now they like fixed 35mm and how it is liberating, your legs become the zoom, how it takes you to the glorious days before the curse of zoom was invented. Check on some posters and see how they amazingly transform their stance each time a new non-Leica gets announced, and take every opportunity to justify any form of leica-bashing. I might point out that Leica was the first to launch an APS-C sensor in so small a compact, with a fixed 35mm lens. Not fuji or sony. But wait! Now I am a Leicaphile?? I cannot wait for Canon and Nikon to launch similar concepts coz then these "new" products become "revolutionary" morphing the Fujiphiles into canophiles and nikonphiles!

barjohn Posted September 28, 2010 Share #465 Posted September 28, 2010 While it is true that Leica was the first to announce a compact camera with and APS-C sensor, Ricoh actually delivered theirs first (both with fixed lenses) and Sony NEX was the first with interchangeable lenses. Announcing and delivering, as you have pointed out, are two different things. Therefore, the first company that could actually build and deliver a compact APS-C camera was Ricoh.

jsrockit Posted September 28, 2010 Share #466 Posted September 28, 2010 Therefore, the first company that could actually build and deliver a compact APS-C camera was Ricoh. Well, that's if you really believe the Ricoh is compact... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjohn Posted September 28, 2010 Share #467 Posted September 28, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) It's much smaller than an M8/9 and we know they are not compacts; ergo it's a compact! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phancj Posted October 13, 2010 Share #471 Posted October 13, 2010 Just my opinion, but sorry guys, I gotta tell the truth, right now the nex stinks, no AF for good lenses, still the same crappy E-mounts, but the X1 is a fine machine!

h00ligan Posted October 13, 2010 Share #472 Posted October 13, 2010 Nice phanc. Thanks for setting that up. Btw dpreview said the new firmware for the nex fixes the ui massively. Have a read about the preview release they received. It doesn't however fix the poor lense choices. Heh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecaton Posted October 13, 2010 Share #473 Posted October 13, 2010 Nice phanc. Thanks for setting that up. Btw dpreview said the new firmware for the nex fixes the ui massively. Have a read about the preview release they received. It doesn't however fix the poor lense choices. Heh. That's the problem. Without a Leica lens mounted the NEX sensor's potential remains untapped. So I'd rather buy a truly pocketable Leica camera with a AF Leica lens and excellent UI, called X1, than an adapter dependent MF only solution.

Well, in all fairness, neither are truly pocketable... at least with any comfort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecaton Posted October 14, 2010 Share #475 Posted October 14, 2010 Well, in all fairness, neither are truly pocketable... at least with any comfort. The X1 is easily jacket/coat pocketable, unless grip and VF are mounted. NEX with M mount lenses is bulkier and quite a bit heavier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan States Posted October 14, 2010 Share #476 Posted October 14, 2010 This is why the Nex wins....Sony announces NEX-3 in pink: Digital Photography Review The pink body will make the NEX and even better decisive moment camera....Its now the loudest camera on the market in two ways!

NEX with M mount lenses is bulkier and quite a bit heavier. I too would consider the x1 pocketable, with the caveat of a screen protector and lack of concern for the soft paint. As time inches into our absolutely freezing Arizona winter (~50 degrees f) I'll at least test that in a light coat. I plan on heading north though, and that will allow a real jacket. Certainly at my height a jacket pocket is easy for the x1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00ligan Posted October 14, 2010 Share #480 Posted October 14, 2010 I can see that as being an advantage in many situations, You try so hard to be a contrarian. It reduces your credibility. You have processing skills, good ones. You could share your knowledge..but you are so focused on acting like a jerk. Too bad. I wish you'd stop acting this way and actually join the conversation. Why not? Fwiw my x1 fits in shorts, though jacket would be preferable..and I'm tall = big pockets since I don't wear magnum pi shorts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
