Now that I've sold my NEXes (5, 5n, 7) and some more gear, left with nothing but my trusty X10 I'm still torn between the X20 and the OM-D (E-PL5).
Is that because they are so similar?
Seriously ... if you think the X10 or X20 (same camera with slightly better IQ) are enough, then why consider blowing all that cash on the O-MD? And if you feel you need a MILC, then how does the X20 compete?
I really don't want to own more than one, relatively compact, fast and flexible camera that serves all my photographic needs, including clean large (20+ inches) prints.
20+" prints from a 2/3" sensor ... perhaps in bright sunshine ...
Someone else mentioned the Panny GX1 a while ago but I'd prefer the Olys ... faster AF ?!
The Pannies are very fast too ... despite the chorus of Oly fan boys' opinion.
, flip screen,
Get the G3 or G5 depending on your budget. Still quite small and a real flippy LCD. Much more useful than just the one that moves up and down.
Oly jpgs and colors (skin!).
Oh well ... a JPEG shooter. Then you want Oly or Fuji ... unless of course you like accurate color. That would be Panasonic.
Next to the X20 (X10) the OM-D with a standard zoom seems fairly large, but that's about the only drawback that holds me back from buying it.
So money is no object. Then why are you not looking at the X100s? Or a Leica?
We all have to wait and see if Fuji holds up to their promises, but if they do the X20 could be the new king of compact cams
What does that even mean?
and the only way to top its IQ and speed, while keeping it relatively compact would lead straight into m43 territory.
Lol ... because the 1" sensors cannot compete. Keep telling yourself that ...
Have I overlooked something ?
No. You have it sussed.
Anything new on the horizon ? (Canon's G1X and the RX100 don't cut it for me)
Buy them all and use the ones you like.
