Sony RX100 Loved
But on the whole, the RX100 gets it right – it is undoubtedly the best compact camera available today, especially from the point of view of image quality.

Nikon 85/1.8G Recommends
You're better served by the 85/1.8G; use the balance of funds for other glass, or buy one of my prints with some of the money you've saved (shameless plug).

Nikon AF-S 85/1.4 G Mixed on
Can I recommend the lens? For D800 users, honestly, no. You're better served by the 85/1.8G; use the balance of funds for other glass, or buy one of my prints with some of the money you've saved (shameless plug). It simply lacks the crispness I've seen with other bodies.

Leica M9-P Loved
I think the real verdict is that I'm now using the M9-P as my primary camera, even for things that it was not designed for, even when I have the choice to use something else.
