GH3 review in Amateur Photographer

I approached this in a totally different way realising with the G2 that m4/3 does not have the fixed prime lenses for BIF's to hold the fine feathering and eye details. I started using Hmmm, fairly expensive long fast legacy lenses and all of a sudden it started to make sense.

I know everyone in m4/3 wants fast AF, but after a lot of practise and shots going into the bin, you slowly learn the technique needed. You do need to be stubborn though. I now use focus peaking on the NEX-7 and it really is a boost in accuracy and speed for focusing with MF lenses.

I've said for awhile now that m4/3 deserves focus peaking, especially when we can get adaptors to take virtually any lens out there. So add focus peaking to a GH3 and I'm very interested. The only worry is the IQ mentioned in that review compared to the NEX-7. Us birders need to crop, a simple fact and especially for Bif's. There is no way around it and we need that extra IQ to get it. Hopefully for m4/3 the GH3 might just be the one

All the best and hang in there for a little while at least.

Danny.
