I heard its been superceded by the one that will print at 16x24 and can be used as a "slide projector".


Yeah, but they omitted the bottle opener feature!

Don't read anything in the NYT, it will warp your brain.

I'm sure he's right about the RX-100 and RX-100 II. The problem is that he's too enthusiastic about too many things, and I can't afford to keep up with him! :D


I think he's a shill. You should buy everything he writes about!

For those of you who don't know him, David Pogue is a "Personal Tech" columnist for the NY Times. If I read his columns on a regular basis, I'd have closets full of wonderful gadgets and more full credit cards than I have now. It was his column on the Sony RX-100 that almost persuaded me buy one. Ditto for his RX100 II column. Before he wrote about the RX-100, he teased us by saying that he was going to be writing in a future column about the best pocket camera ever made. Right then and there, I knew I just had to have that camera - whatever it was

I NEVER rely on any professional review unless they have lots of charts and data which does not happen too often. In my opinion too many of these so called professional reviewers are bought and paid for. I usually go for the user reviews from people who have actually bought the device and have really used it. Too many times when a product is reviewed, what is said is only what people want to hear.

Just my 2 cents ...........

Everything he writes about, he loves. He doesn't do actual reviews or comparisons. He doesn't say, "Yeah, this is pretty good, but it has it's drawbacks. You might want to consider Brand X, too." Instead, since he loves the product, he raves about it, and I find it hard to resist buying.

If money were no object, I would probably buy 90% of the tech that he writes about, but I find that he is helping me to develop some resistance and will power. Maybe if I had his income, I'd buy more freely. Maybe.

I have developed the perfect camera. It not only has infinite zoom and perfect clarity it will also select and compose the absolute best shot available wherever you are. Color rendition is astounding. Plus, it will print on the spot up to 8x10. All this and it weighs 4oz and fits in your shirt pocket. It also doubles as a bottle opener. Now, I have to warn you, I only have the one working prototype so it might seem a little pricey, but what is money when you have an opportunity at the perfect camera? Just pm me and I'll let you know where to send the check. Did I mention that it shoots beautiful color in total blackness? :) :) :)

Thanks, but I took a look at the drawings and it seems that I would have to remove the remote car starter and emergency gas mask features to accomodate the corkscrew. I'm afraid you winos, sorry, wine conneisours will have to carry your own corkscrews. Besides, everyone knows that all the good quality wines have screw caps. Who in their right mind would stuff a piece of tree bark into the neck of a quality bottle of wine? :)
