The size of the EM5 gives it a very specific niche in which you can take very stealth photos without people noticing, and it's so light you can carry it as a second camera with no issues. Not saying the GH3 is big either, but the perception is there.

This always makes me smile. Why do you guys feel the need to be sneaky, underhanded and hide when taking street shots. Are you scared of getting thumped ?? If you are scared of getting thumped, then you are doing something wrong or you must feel like you are doing wrong, hence the need to...... hide.

Why not stand up and just take shots ??

All the best and never understood it. I would call it dishonest photography, hey just an opinion

To catch candid pictures ?

-- rrr_hhh

Why not stand up and be open about it ?. Are they scared of something happening ??

I certainly wouldn't want people sneaking around taking photos of me or my daughter. Be open about it. There is no need to sneak Its not illegal so why hide. Strange.
