The amount of calibration required is measured using a focus test. The actual calibration is a software instruction to the camera. I've never heard of anyone opening up a lens for microfocus adjustment. You can do the calibration yourself only if your body supports microfocus adjustment - if not it can be done only by the service centre.

I think with CHDK you can get that speed. I haven't tried it, just a guess. Probably even faster than that...

CHDK is for canon compacts. If I am right all of 'em are electronic shutter including the large sensor compacts. One of the advantage of compacts

Yup my CHDK ed canon sx120 used to go to 1/16000 or so. Required a huge amount of light to shoot. The max I've seen most DSLRs do is 1/8000 with most like the nex topping at 1/4000.
Burst is amazing though on a mirrorless. 11fps means that you can get bubbles and baloons bursting and all

Usually, camera makers announce some models in Q2. I expect some quite no. of bridges and large sensors this time. And many of them are due for a very long time.
Fuji HS bridge;
Though Fuji announces large sensors, they didn't bring them India.
Nikon Px000 large sensor;
Do they have any plan to compete against the likes of G3x, RX10 II, FZ1000?
I know Olympus has stopped making entry level compacts, but what happened to their large sensor compacts? Did they stop that too?
Panasonic bridge is due. Can we expect successor of FZ200 this quarter? or Is FZ1000 the successor? And they don't have any bazooka update since FZ70.
And the same applies to LX7/LX100... both these didn't come to India as well.
Lately, Panasonic didn't bring any travel zoom too. TZ30 was the last one.
I don't know, Samsung is busy engineering NX1 and forgot they had EX series. Will they ever make it again?
On the other hand, Sony is keep launching large sensor compacts. Even after 4 generations, you can still find 1st gen RX100 in market.

That's a nice camera. Looking back, there were cameras with f/2.8, VF and that too a base model. We can't find such cameras today.CHDK is amazing
tried it last month on my A1200
Sadly my 1200D doesnt support magic lantern so I cant try that out
You know, I had a dream last night that I bought 1200D. I was really surprised that I bought a DSLR and in my sleep grunting why did I bought it now at higher price. I should have bought it when there is a deal around dasara.
I really that it was real until I got up.

lol I know that feel,I bought 1200D for 37k with a tripod
now its exactly 27k and I just bought an external flash + 50mm Prime for 10k total
and exactly a week later 50mm STM released So far Ive spent 50k totally on my camera and atleast 17k was the total loss incured right after my purchases(10k for price drop,7k for misc purchases with sd cards etc )
A1200 was a great camera,especially since I bought it in 2012 in US for $80 when midway through my trip,my sony camera battery died out on me,wouldnt even charge and I couldnt find a replacement battery
A1200 is awesome except for the slow shutter speed and slow startup
picture quality is pretty good,wonder why we went to using smartphone cameras in the first place(except Lumias and Sony Exmor phone cameras)

It happens man... and esp. electronics. Price falls more frequent than anything else...
@nac ..get one soon bhai..
You know, I just don't have a heart for spending a lot. First I should make that kinda money and most likely I will have my heart convinced to buy one.

Prices fall the day you buy something. That does not mean you made a mistake. It just means that the fun is worth the buying it now
Me too,my phone is now 2.5 years old,I had an option to spend on a phone this time but I decided to buy a 50mm and flash instead of a phone
everything gets outdated so fast,rather buy a camera,they dont really go "outdated"
my 20 year old EOS 500 can still use my 50mm prime and my year old 1200D can still use my 20 year old Tamron 28-200mm
whereas my 2.5 year old 720 will get strange looks and people asking me "you still use that dinosaur"

Tell me about it, I am using a decade old Nokiawhereas my 2.5 year old 720 will get strange looks and people asking me "you still use that dinosaur"
Tell me about it, I am using a decade old Nokia
Hahaha, even older Nokias such as the N8 are some of the best cameras ever made till date
Id still grab one to use as a point and shoot !!
Wait for 1040,940,940XL apparently they might have a triple xenon flash :O
even if itll be priced as a proper flagship,itll be totally worth it
But 1st,pls grab a 1200D , its an absolute steal
If you can take amazing shots with a high zoom,I cant imagine what you will be able to do with a L series lens and a dslr
