Sony RX1--full frame fixed lens compact So, this happened. Sony will sell a one-pound; 35/2.0, 6,000x4,000 pixel; ISO 25,600 [native]; $2,800 camera, starting this year. Most folks will say, "wha?" and for $2,800 who can blame ... |

Re:RX100 beats 4/3 including GF3 and other larger sensor cameras DXOmark is, well, controversial but offers some limited help sifting through a mountain of cameras. But using it to make a selection would be like picking a car based on comparing engine dyno graph... |

Re: What about a GF3 or GF5 with the retractable 14-42X lens A fine alternative. My only complaint is no ability to accept an EVF, but I've seen incredible GF3 deals (2-lens kit for $300). Cheers, Rick |

Re: Love it "Probably the best thing is that I can't buy more lenses. That was always a bit of an issue with my DSLR hobby. I never had quite the lens I really wanted. Bug, meet feature. ;-) Che... |

Re: Lassen National Park (Favorite hike?) FWIW Ponderosa fire is a state response and the Chips fire is federal, so detailed info is in different places. They hope to have the Ponderosa fire contained today but are concerned the next heatw... |

Re: I guess price is not a factor? Out of curiosity, why do you think it costs more to build a high-volume camera like the D3200? My presumption is the high-volume entry-level dslrs are among the cheapest cameras to build, likewise,... |

DPR RX100 review's up Lots good and a few warts. In sum, an impressive, tiny camera with big-chip ambitions. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sony-cybershot-dsc-rx100 Cheers, Rick |

Re: What camera took these videos? FWIW I think it is stabilized--it looks much less jittery that the simple helmet-cam video I'm used to seeing. Which still doesn't answer the question, "how'd he do dat?" ... |

Re: Remember, there's more than pixels Then the good news is there's no image quality difference between the best mirrorless and the best dslrs. The former gap has been closed, for good. We can now look forward to class-leading tech... |

Mountain Gear I've placed a few orders with Mountain Gear, going as far back as when they were based in Idaho, and they've responded flawlessly each time. I admire the breadth and high quality of their sele... |

Backcountrygear.com I have to put in a plug for these folks, with whom I've shopped on line and over the phone, and who also have a store in soggy Eugene, Oregon. They have a great backpacking and climbing selection f... |

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) As another Seattle kid who loved few things more than pilgrammages to the Capitol Hill store, I still associate the smell of cresote with hiking gear. It's hard to imagine backpacking without REI. ... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover I upgraded to the Micro Puff pullover after several seasons with the old Puffball pullover. Lighter, warmer, stuffs smaller--the Micro Puff is an all-around improvement to what was already a fine garm... |

MSR Titan Kettle Noting the shape isn't the most efficient for squeezing every btu from the stove, the MSR kettle remains a very good single-pot option. It packs nicely, works well with small to medium stoves, pours w... |

MSR SimmerLite I find the Whisperlite to be MSR's easiest liquid stove to use, and certainly the nicest to lug, bulk and weight-wise. Simmering performance is best with a light touch on the fuel pump--try using l... |

Golite Hex 3 I've used a Hex 2, the 3's somewhat smaller brother, with good success for a few seasons. The quarters are a little snug for six-footers, but it's a minor concern. My main complaint is that the ventil... |
