    Those are M&M's.
    I prefer peanut M&M's to the regular kind.
    I prefer smarties to M&M's (but not the peanut kind).
    I have some smarties.

    In reply to Nikon S1000pj Projector Camera Review: Screw You All, I Love This Thing
    I think what I'd want instead is a separate pocket projector that I could plug an sd card into (among other inputs) and look at the pictures that way. I think this is one of those areas that two separate devices can do better than one. What I hope this does is move the technology along to where a less expensive (<$100) pocket projecter is a possibility. #nikons100pj

    In reply to Ricoh GXR, Smallest Camera With Interchangable Lenses and Sensors, Coming In December
    You really have to watch the video to understand the concept. This system only seems to make sense if the pairing of a particular sensor to a particular lens had an advantage but I don't see how it would. Why would each lens need its own sensor? You could end up owning 4 lenses and four sensors, an over-investment in sensors, especially considering that inevitable improvements in sensor tech makes your lens obsolete. The more I type, the worse this idea sounds. A better system would allow one to upgrade just the camera's sensor. #ricohgxr

    In reply to Ricoh GXR, Smallest Camera With Interchangable Lenses and Sensors, Coming In December
    Interesting, but it by no means seems economical. It sounds like each component will set you back quite a bit, costing you between $900 and $1800 for the body and wide angle lens/body (pounds and Euros never seem to translate properly to dollars when crossing the Pacific, a $400 here may cost 400 pound sterling there). Coupled with the limitations of each body, I'm very hesitant about it. While it is nice to have a small, discrete camera like that with easily accessible, fully manual controls for street photography, I am extremely hesitant. #ricohgxr

    In reply to Rumor: Mirrorless Ricoh Camera, Interchangeable Lenses Coming November 10
    It looks like there's going to be an explosion of these types of cameras over the next year. It makes buying one feel a bit risky, because every company is in overdrive trying to outdo the camera that came out previous. Unfortunately, they all seem to compromise in one way or another. I went ahead and ordered a GH1, because it seems to be closest to what I want. I'm pretty excited to see what Ricoh can do with this though, considering their mastery (so I've heard) of ergonomics. #ricoh

    @Domo: Depends on who you're looking for. I'm sure Rosa would command a pretty healthy rate, and most anyone with a golden star under their name is gonna set you back quite a bit, so I'd guess a few minutes at most.

    @iomatic (I know I'm an idiot, but I'll comment anyway): I'm puzzled as well.

    I've looked into a couple of the smaller ones, and seriously thought about the E-P1, but then heard the GF1 would arrive soon. Both the E-P1 and the GF1 suffered from something I thought was an obvious oversight: Lack of a hotshoe flash and viewfinder support at the same time. I also found the EVF lacked necessary resolution to rival an optical VF, and I could not get used to relying on the LCD. It's a very odd standard, definitly not as versatile as I had been led to believe. #olympusep2

    @Lizard_King: I definitely agree with the optical viewfinder as an important feature that is lacking. When I heard Olympus was already working on an E-P2 I hoped for one, but alas, not yet.

    Don't both these 4/3 cameras have a hot shoe right on top though? While a flash doesn't come with it, you could always buy one separately. (please correct me if I'm wrong) #olympusep2

    @James Philip: The EP1 and 2 and the GF1 all have hotshoe, and while the EP2 and GF1 have an electronic viewfinder, it covers the hotshoe. I say covers because I haven't gotten my hands on the EVF modules yet to see if they do interface with the hotshoe as the GF1 has a port in back of the hotshoe for EVF mounting. I'm guessing that the EVF makes no electrical connection to the hotshoe, but again, that is a guess.

    One point to note, the m4/3 standard does not allow for an optical viewfinder - it must be electronic. That being said, I'm gonna punch the next person to tout Live View as a feature on the m4/3 cameras - it is necessary, not a feature.

    Honestly, I like the comparison to rangefinder cameras - and hate it when these cameras are listed as if they have all of the features of an SLR in a smaller case. I'd think that most of the consumers purchasing this would already have an SLR. I might actually get a GF1, but would prefer to have electronic viewfinder and hotshoe flash at the same time. #olympusep2
