BTW, I have both the iPad Mini Retina and the Nexus 7.2. The Mini R does have less gamut coverage and that at first turned me away from it. That is, until I went to an Apple store and compared the Mini R with the Air, side by side. I bought the Mini R and I'm happy I did. Is the screen less vibrant in some cases than an Air or Nexus 7.2. Yes, assuming you look really hard and bring up a color chart. Is it so noticeable as to make the Mini R a bad buy. Hell no! I do a lot of prosumer photography, and I cannot see any reason why the Mini R cannot be used as well as an Air or Nexus 7.2. And I'm picky about my photography.
Bottom line is this, people should go compare things for themselves rather than listen to those who have never owned nor ever seen that item, especially when said person(s) are known to be against that company or product. |
Actually my wife has an iphone4 and I am in charge of maintaining it. And I have been saying the same thing you did --- people should be aware of the difference in the screens and have a look at it in the store. "Don't worry, the Mini's screen is good enough" doesn't help anybody. So why all the fuzz about people pointing out an objective
issue? (which may well be a non-issue for most, but people deserve to be made aware and make an informed decision). What afv011 says is undoubtely true, the real question is, who will actually notice the difference? Anyway, his comments may get some people to buy an Air instead of a buying a Mini. No problems with that, no regrets later.
