I didn't deny anything. I am saying base off the images shown on that website. LOL.

If that is the case, then that's good.

Except the problem comes even before the first year if you're a heavy user.

1920x1200 is 16:10 which predates the term FullHD. It's actually the more preferred ratio for professionals doing graphics etc. Most if not all Apple desktop/laptops are using 16:10.

His monitor is most likely natively at 16:10.

Setting it to 16:9 will not achieve 1:1 pixel ratio.

Nice find.

Really some good looking macro shots there.

Edit: Except for the Onion Bokeh... LOL.. but even some SLR lenses suffers from Onion Bokeh..

Onion Bokeh this bokeh.

Tamron 24-70mm has Onion Bokeh.

The Nikon doesn't.

They call it Onion Bokeh because it looks like an Onion being sliced across in half.



Now look at the Bokeh on the Z1.



But then again, if the guy was using some Macro add-on clip, the Onion Bokeh could have resulted from using that add-on.

I may not have been that clear with my statement, or maybe you missed the photo.

My comment has nothing to do with the shape, how round, how hexoganish etc. the bokeh is. Again, refer to the image below.



It is to do with the texture within the bokeh itself. Compare between the Tamron and the Nikon. What do you see? The Nikon's bokeh is smooth and milky. The Tamron's bokeh on the other hand, has a similar texture to that of a sliced onion, hence the term "Onion Bokeh". See embedded image below in the spoiler for that of a sliced onion to see the similarity.



Now, referring back to the image taken from the Vietnamese website, ignoring the shape of the bokeh (center bokehs are round, bokehs on the sides will be different).



Viewing the image in the spoiler, you can see especially in the center bokeh, there are clear evidences of the Onion textures.

I hope this is clear now. I understand the mechanics of bokeh, how round it is dependent on the aperture blades etc., which is a whole different issue. I am talking about the texture of it. Not its shape.

Actually, I would rather it not have the bokeh if it is going to be the onion ones. LOL.

It is one reason I ended up paying extra for a 24-70mm 2.8L even though the Tamron is much cheaper. It gets really messy and dirty. But of course that's subjective. One person's poison is another person's perfume.

Edit: To place the onion photo into a spoiler so as to not affect the post size.

mmhmmm

Smooth would be preferable. I rather have no bokeh at all than to have one that's onion shaped, but gotta wait for someone to really test it. Could be an issue with the macro clip that guy was using.

Sony really should come out with a QX10/QX100 bundle man... LOL

Not true.

Crime rate rising very fast.

Inflation and house prices too!

I'm still debating.. The Z1 is very attractive.. but I'm already on the Z.. if the Z1 has better speakers and a 64GB option, 100% getting already, even if RM 300-400 more expensive. LOL...

Yeah, it is, tbh... I am just giving excuses to save my wallet.. until the 1H 2014 Sony Flagship arrives... LOL..

Not really in it for the performance. I am very happy with the performance of the Z currently. I don't find much issues with the screen as well. As long as it's smooth, I'm happy, which the S800 clearly gives.

The three things that would make the biggest difference are:

Shutter Button = This is a God send, especially with QuickShot, miss it from my Acro S days

Better Speakers = The Z's speakers are absolutely horrible. Z1 improves on this, but isn't class leading.

More Internal Memory = 16GB is way too small. Getting tired of having to keep uninstalling stuff for more stuff. This is 2013.. should be at least 32GB min, with 64GB variant.

Yeah, MicroSD is more important versus internal memory, but more is better for application installation and all, considering you only get 10-11GB after minus the OS and other stuff. Two Gameloft games and you're already down to half.

At least give an option for larger capacities. Let those who don't need them, buy the 16GB model.

Not AFAIK unless you use a root/hack method to partition your MicroSD card for installation/app usage etc.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Beat me to it. LOL


It does. IIRC, doing so will also require you to use that MTP method for transferring stuff off your MicroSD, which I absolutely hate. I have never had good experience with MTP from the slow speed to the 1 file limitation as well as the inconsistency with the PC recognizing the storage.

Of course, this was my experience last year. Could have improved now, but it has still left a very sour taste in me.

Agreed.

Nokia was sabotaged with that Trojan Horse of a CEO. WTF man.. from Micro$oft, join Nokia.. screws it up, and then Micro$oft buys Nokia for cheap and he goes back to Micro$soft.. =\

Micro$oft is not afraid at all man, doing all these right in the open.

If they didn't had that idiot and went for Android, they would be out there with the likes of Sony/LG at least by now.

They have nice hardware, good build quality, and best in class camera.

Comparison photos between Z1 and Z Ultra.

Sentiments and quality alone might not be enough. Samsung is using brute force to gain market shares. They're rolling out phones like clothes/underwears.. coming in so many colours and flavours... well.. not sure about what underwears tastes like.. LOL..

Sometimes hard to tell if paid or just pure blind fanbois.. I just take their comments with a grain of salt.. well.. an Antonov An-225 Mriya filled with salt.. or just ignore them all.. LMAO

Or they took it out to shove their warranty stickers on it?
