The NYTimes wins more Pulitzer Prizes than all other papers combined times ten. "The Times is long regarded within the industry as a national "newspaper of record"." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspaper_of_record As far as Pogues video blurb goes on the first compact full frame there was ample space time devoted to the showing of excellent images which shows the tiny camera producing honking DSLR results. Noiseless and sharp. He put his pixels where his mouth is. That's all I need to know or see.
