I've been shooting with the RX100 for a couple weeks and would like to submit a few of my samples here:

Looks great apart from that stripey shirt at the end.

Comedy is regional. Tragedy is global.
You consider it a joke calling a senior engineer a " LIER " in public forum. You consider me as a person with lack of sense of humour for pointing out to your possible ignorance to Japanese culture. This is not British Culture. This is you joking around with disregard for others' honours and opinions.
Hey c'mon you have sense of humour you should be able to take a little criticism. What's all this agitation about !?

I didn't call him a liar. I made him a character who called himself a liar. It was a comedy sketch by definition. You're right I don't know a lot about Japanese culture. I know a bit but it doesn't interest me that much.I certainly don't subscribe to the concept of honour. Also, what agitation?

Regarding multi aspect ratio deal:

As evil_thought2 mentioned, "There is NO LOGICAL reason why multi-aspect ratio would have negative impact on the image quality."
I think what Inoue meant is that a. Sony won't produce multi-aspect ratio sensor b. to get MSR, they gotta use Panasonic sensor which falls behind Sony's. So, in order to serve 'better quality', they had to let go of MSR and use Sony sensor.

I think it's the case since his answer is "no comment" when asked if it's Sony sensor they're using. That's the exact same response Olympus made when they were asked million times.

However, GH3 special site indicates it's using LIVE-MOS sensor which is the Panasonic thing.

So that means...? I guess it means he wants to prioritize quality over functionality, ie. no multi-aspect sensor?

Great interview. Cool to talk to someone who doesn't speak your language but is clearly a very brainy person.

Yes that is correct. Image quality was priority over multi-aspect.

He was incredibly intelligent, his notepad left me almost speechless at the end.

Inoue: The AF100 is another division, we are focussed on the consumer DSC. We are completely seperate.

Sigh.

Thanks for the interview Andrew, this must have taken ages to transcribe.


Things I infer from this interview:

How do you come to prioritise what’s most important, because you must have a huge list of feature requests?

We had interlaced to make progressive – not so good.

Translation:
You thought you were getting progressive video from the GH2. but you weren’t. It was interlaced that was converted to progressive. This is one of the reasons the GH2 had such a strong video look. Plus we spent so long doing that, we forgot to add peaking

Is the HDMI output 4-2-2?

No its 4-2-0. Why would we spend so long designing and optimising a stable high bit codec in camera if we wanted you to use a fucking ninja?
The output is perfectly suitable for a field monitor, but you won’t be recording shit out of it.


Is it a Sony sensor? No comment.

Translation: Yes it is it’s the same sensor from the EM5. We saw Olympus taking all the glory for having better quality so we decided to sacrifice the multi aspect sensor for the slightly better dynamic range of the Sony one.

This will have an effect on the overall video quality as well. The footage will look less like the old Panasonic video-like look and more of a Sony video-like look. So if you want a more film like look you will have to save up and either put up with the artificially crippled detail of the 5dmk3 which should be sharp as a tack due to the 3*3 pixel binning, or put up with the rainbow moiré of the BMC because they skipped putting in an optical low pass filter in this version to get the camera out the door.

One more question. Electronic follow focus....?

Response: (Gets notepad out.)
