To be fair, did you compare it to a Fuji in roughly the same price bracket? If it was one of the more high-end Fuji models, then I'd expect it to have better build quality, and use more expensive...

"All other formats see notable IQ improvements with each upgraded, or new camera."

I'd say this is very arguable, and hasn't been generally true for many years.

Stacked sensors are said to be significantly more expensive than non-stacked ones. And of course, a component doesn't have a fixed cost, it very much depends on the volume you order. Maybe OMDS has...

TSMC is even building a new fab in Japan, as a joint venture with Sony, IIRC.

Shooting from behind corners, shooting from the hip? There's some serious gunslinging going on here that I seem to have been missing out on all these years.

Not exactly designed by someone else. OMDS literally is the old Olympus imaging division, but with only half the workforce remaining. According to a recent interview, they are still able to use...

The company name is OM Digital Solutions, the brand name is OM System. People mix them up all the time, which says something about the level of marketing genius responsible for the new branding.

Regardless of one's opinion about the patenting of lens designs being right or wrong, it's definitely disingenuous to try to make this out to be a specific Canon practice. Other lens makers do the...

If we're discussing the usefulness or novelty of these lenses, or if the market really needs them, then we're all entitled to our own opinions. And I don't necessarily disagree with...

@Take five

I do understand the value of constructive criticism, but that's not the issue here. This is an announcement of new products, and you seem to suggest that it lacks news value, because...

So DPR shouldn't post new product announcements because similar products are already available?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but most semiconductor companies don't own any fabs. It doesn't necessarily mean that their chip designs are just marketing bs, and only use IP owned by others.

Between Hollywood, Bollywood and all the other "woods" out there, and a host of streaming services, I think the market is bigger than ever.

Yes, I can't disagree with that.

There was a time, over a decade ago, when every major camera manufacturer iterated its low- and midrange compacts annually, and the more advanced models at least every two years. But the compact ...

Well, these cameras were sold in the Western markets too.

The interesting thing about the XC10 is that even Canon wasn't entirely sure about its target users. They said that they were excited to see how people were going to use it. Not exactly the...

They gave this project to an intern, so he had something to do besides making coffee for the engineers.

The "old" small-sensor G series ran from G1 to G16 with a couple of numbers skipped. The general tendency was towards higher Mp counts, but there was indeed a drop in Mp after the G10, supposedly ...

There's really nothing to be honest about, because Sony never made any promises that the line would continue. I can't recall many negative product announcements, except cancellations of already...
