Damnation, I was hankering for the DL 18–50. I'm an ultra-wide-angle addict, and that would have been an amazing "I'm packing really light for this trip" camera

Thom Hogan, a longtime Nikon pundit, has good thoughts on how badly Nikon is handling this disruption. (I think smartphones are one of the best examples of Christensen disruption; they started out awful, are still relatively awful, but they are cheap, ubiquitous, and get the job done of getting photos of your cats and kids to Facebook instantly.)

- buserror 10y agoTo be fair, I've been using a Panasonic DMC-GM1 with a 14mm pancake for a few years and I don't really see how the DL would have improved on that... A bit more speed, but then again the GM1 is not even on sale anymore and Nikon failed entirely to release their take on the ultralight 4/3 equivalent... Years too late!
- acomjean 10y agoFor those that don't know what 4/3 cameras are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Thirds_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Thirds_system The camera business had a new small interchangeable lens almost pocketable camera "standard". The micro 4/3 used sadly by only olympus and panasonic. When I travel to take pictures I take a canon 5D SLR and a much smaller olympus micro 4/3 with a wide angle zoom. Why Canon/Nikon/Sony go their own way with incompatible small mirrorless cameras I have no idea. I would love more lens options for micro 4/3 and those big camera makers make great glass...
