Sony RX100 VI versus Panasonic TZ200 (Leica C-Lux)
Choosing between the Sony RX100 VI and the Leica C-Lux doesn’t get any easier. But these videos by Chris Niccolls and Jordan Drake go a long way to helping you make up your mind.

Sony: eBooks to eclipse print within five years
More words of wisdom from Steve Haber, president of Sony's digital reading business division: "Within five years there will be more digital content sold than physical content. Three years ago, I said within ten years but I realised I was wrong - it's within five years."
He predicted that we would see the same patterns in book distribution as we have already experienced in the digitisation of music and photography. Sony believes that the eBook market has now passed the point of no return. Said Haber: "I have multiple meetings with publishers and tell them paradigm shifts happen. You can say fortunately or unfortunately you haven't had a paradigm shift in, what, hundreds of years." He added: "We in the consumer electronics area have a paradigm shift every year or two."
I have felt for a long time that the advantages of digital books will propel eReaders to the fore and I cannot argue with Haber's logic that we will see the big revolution within the next five years. Of course, readers are generally a conservative lot and will need prising from their dead-tree books, but I now think that Haber's paradigm shift in publishing is unstoppable.
Sony RX100 VI Review: The teeniest with the mostest
After extensive reviewing of both the Leica C-Lux and the Sony RX100 Mark VI, we are suffering from one-inch sensor overload here at Macfilos. The Sony, however, turns out to fully justify its “pocket” pretensions and crams a tremendous amount of power and sophistication into a package weighing just 50% more than an iPhone X.

Sony a7II: The camera that makes an ideal home for third-party manual lenses
When the Sony a7 Mark II arrived three months ago there was an immediate spark of interest among owners of manual lenses, in particular among Leica fans who fancied a second body to supplement their M9 or M. Many had tried the previous year's a7r and found it wanting in terms of noise and stability: The loud shutter also caused body vibration and added to the problems of shooting with longer manual primes. Now, the a7II, with its five-axis stabilisation, more substantial built and larger grip, promises to answer those criticisms and, at last, offer something unique for the manual lens owner.
