the nikon d610 is $1900 at b&h

the d300s was about $1700.

what if nikon comes out with a full frame camera for
$1500? or
less?

Than it would have less features...

obviously.

that didn't stop nikon from making a d3300 and d5300,
which have
fewer
features than a d610 or d7100.

Those are HF (half frame) cameras...

the d3300 has fewer features than a d5300 which has fewer
features
than
a d7100, all of which are crop sensor cameras.

one of the features that they all don't have over the d610 is a
full
frame sensor.

Nope! They are half frame...

Actually the D610 is FF.

Off course. I thought you were referring to the Dxx00's. Those are
half
frame, Canon x0D and xx0D and M are half frame too. Olympus and
Panasonic are quarter frame... I'm not sure of what the Nikon
One is
but
Mini. ;-p


I tested one. IMHO it is a POS.

It most certainly must be most limited compered to what you usually
use.
OTOH, surely it can be useful if you are aware of it's
limitations. I
still like my Ixuses... ;-)

One of my frinds go the Leica Dlux and really likes it.

That's a PanaLeica right? The Panasonic variant is usually a few
cent's
cheaper... If someones interested.


I doubt it

That's

the

same camera as the Panasonic DHC-LX7

Nope.

There

are a lot of similarities, but they are two different cameras.

Read the specs and state which spec is different in each. You are paying
a hefty price for a little red nameplate.

They are only superficially different cameras due to physical
appearance. Under the skin they are identical. The biggest difference is
the $398 list price difference for essentially the same performance.

As

I said to PAS, read the advanced specs.

I did.

There is a difference in frame rate, and some other subtle differences.

Somehow I don't particularly trust the Snapsort spec list (which is
incomplete) which reports 2fps for the Leica and 11fps for the Lumix.
They don't even say if that is for RAW of JPEG.

Dpreview shows the Leica at 11fps the same as the Lumix.

Spec for spec they are the same camera down to weight & dimensions.
They even have the same auto shooting modes.
