Being a pancake, Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 is my body cap lens, and is indispensable in that respect. Olympus 17mm f/1.8 is is just 1cm longer, but it feels already for me too big to be a default...

Considering price-per-performance ratio, both for still-imaging and video, I would choose one of the Micro Four Thirds cameras, such as Panasonic G5/G6 or GF6/GX1.

I would recommend Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS4 or TS5, both of which are fantastic, and were selected by various reviewers as best rugged & waterproof cameras for the last two years, including the...

Panasonic is such a huge company that cameras aren't generally highlighted in their financial results. Seeing the proposed increase in the mirrorless ILC production is good news.

There are a few external viewfinder glasses which support AV/HDMI input. These can be useful for remote imaging, particularly together with eye- and head-tracking...

There are also another specialized cameras with the native Micro Four Thirds lens mount: Black Magic MFT cameras, SVCam-Evo Tracer by SVS-VISTEK, AstroCam MFT AH-4413, LUCY-MFT20 and LUCY-MFT40 by...

Sure, the software correction is designed to correct any kind of distortion, even a fish-eye to the rectilinear one. The same applies to other aberrations, including vignetting which is rather...

Placed 29^th in the challenge. Eltz Castle has over 80 rooms that rise in eight towers up to ten stories high. The well-fortified structure was only attacked once—and never taken. While many west German castles were destroyed in the late seventeenth century, Burg Eltz survived thanks to a Eltz family member in the invading army

SLR Magic 12mm f/1.6 has very low distortion, while Olympus 12mm f/2 shows very significant barrel distortion:...

The sensor in Nikon D5200 is made by Toshiba, http://www.chipworks.com/blog/recentteardowns/2013/01/08/inside-the-nikon-d5200-dslr-toshiba-found/ The sensor development is not an easy process, and...

Panasonic has already implemented their Hybrid O.I.S in their digital camcorders,http://panasonic.net/avc/camcorder/features/hybrid_ois/ The correction of rotational jitter may help with hand-held...

GX1 and GF5 cameras had already improved sensor circuitry over GH2 that doesn’t block as much light entering the photosite. In G5 Panasonic moved some of the signal processing closer to photosites,...

May be you should try the Panasonic GH3. I've been told by different E-users that among the MFT cameras the GH3 is the closest in build-quality and design to a professional DSLR camera.

Well, you are going to get now a few pages of comments on how revolutionary the EM-5 is, etc. My suggestion, try the Panasonic G5 or GH3. These cameras have more convenient user interface while...

... as well as improving the AF speed for the 240fps focusing mode (with the Panasonic GH3 & G6).

Panasonic G5, GF6, G6 and GH3 has much better video features than the G3. Olympus appears to neglect video, and a year after the E-M5 even managed to scrap the 1080@60i from E-P5 and now it only...

Canon is actually doing just fine with same CMOS sensor for the last decade, while Nikon is managing to get systematically better results from the same Sony sensors than Sony itself. Until the...

@Naveed Akhtar The same story was with the Olympus E-P3, E-M5, etc.: some good design ideas, but poor marketing skills.
"E-P5 just doesn't make any real sense...Olympus' ego is showing more than...

The last generation and inexpensive are hard to combine together.  In one hand, GF2/3/5 have now been successfully replaced by GF6, and the G6 is a fantastic upgrade to any other micro four thirds...

OMD - evf + wifi + 1/8000 + peaking + a few more new features. However, the same "vintage" design, the same lack of improvements in video, the same idea that starting price should be twice more...
