Affinity photo is also available for Windows.

Interesting, and unexpected.

IBIS would certainly temp me. But the price...

Taking a page from Canons book!

The Snap press LCD is coming to all GR11 with a firmware update in July.

OK, figured it out, it needs the same adapter as the previous versions.

joshwa, can a 49mm filter be screwed to the front of the lens, ir is an adapter required?



Thanks



Willie

G1X mk 3 being an APS-C sensor will have a big advantage in dynamic range I would think. The G1X seems to have a softish lens,. - so it remains to be seen how good this lens is.

Canon announces the new Sony RX100 Mk V for some reason.

The King of street photography strikes another home run.

Have used a GR 1 and GR2 for a combination of 7+ years, no dust.

Coincidentally, the Olympus CEO stated this week that sensor size is not the answer.

Seems the m4/3 alliance is crumbling.

This is pure magic.

Farewell m4/3, its been a blast.

Looking forward to the new Ricoh GR release

Cant wait for one of them to announce a phone with 256 cameras....

No surprise as weve known about this unofficially officially for a long time. Canon will also launch a FF mirrorless at Photokina according to unofficial official rumours.

Nice travelogue.

You missed the annual Irish hot weather day!

$1,200! Thats ridiculous!

These are getting to look an awful lot like DSLR bodies. At 660G its only 100G lighter than a Canon 6D mk2 with its battery installed.

Fantastic results

High ISO noise performance to me doesnt seem to be hugely improved compared to other 20MP Panasonic models. M4/3 still falls far short of the larger sensors in this respect.

IQ with the same sensor and lens as other Panny 20Mp will not be a lot different as far as I can tell.

I think lots of people will buy it. Whats there to compare it to? Nothing. APSC 24 Mpix, built in zoom, image stabilization, flip put touch screen. Pricey, but a brilliant travel camera.

Ill stay with the 6D, which by all accounts has a greater dynamic range. Way too pricey.

To even suggest this camera produces anything close to DSLR quality is ridiculous. It depends on the DSLR, the lens, etc, so its not even something you can say.

I did buy one as I like street shooting (how on earth can anyone HATE 28mm?), and also have the Ricoh GR. This Fuji is nice with the touch screen and the flip out screen, but its not even close to the same IQ as the Ricoh. Its bigger than the Ricoh, and wont fit in pants pocket as the Ricoh does easily.The fuji is soft at 2.8,and at its sharpest, its not sharp. Its JUST ok. The Ricoh has a vastly superior lens, currently the best lens in the compact 28mm compact category. The flash performance with the Fuji is terrific, and very reliable set to -2/3. I use both now and then, but prefer the totally intuitive Ricoh with its superior IQ. Its built in B&W modes are fantastic, as good as the Fuji.

Ridiculously priced niche product for the well heeled. As good or better performance available for much, much less.

BTW, there are no aperture values shown on the sample pics Joshwa?

That was fast!

Oh what big knobs you have!

A few comments. The use of an adapter is smart, allowing access to the entire Canon line which work with full electronic functionality; this also suggests there are more M lenses planned. The M lenses are alow very, very light, perfect for all day carrying or travel/

Its odd that the adapter (which is includes at no cost in the early release kits) seems to be seen as a negative here, whereas adapters in general are hailed as brilliant for Sony, and the m4/3 lenses for their ability to extend the range of lenses. Im confused.

The body is a very strong polycarbonate composite, quite different from what we normally consider "plastic".

The lens attachment not being metal seems odd, but when the target audience is one that wants light, small, very high IQ, you do what you need to meet the demands.

Price I think is too high, and this is not at all unexpected at launch. Its not unique to any one vendor, and cost should come down. If they simply unbundle the adapter, thats 250 USD off the price.

The kit lenses, though not perfect, are vastly superior that the offerings from Sony, as an example.

Finally! Thanks Josh.

Is there a full review planned soon Joshua? Many other sites are ahead of EPZ with this review.

Im so sorry to hear of Peters passing, I enjoyed communicating with his through his photography.
