Catalin, when you say *the overall picture quality* you need to include Sony's lenses. That's *overall*. Then you will pick Olympus.

Quite a few pro photographers say the four thirds format is ideal for them when they are shooting for themselves. Are you guys shooting for yourselves?

They also say four thirds would satisfy them...

That's what I have owned and used for 2 1/2  years now, it suits me very, very well. It is big and hefty, especially with the hood makes you look like a pro, but hey, I can handle the...

And it's retina-ready!

Good Grief Doug, if you disagree with a point made, simply correct it. Who needs the crapola.

Not interested in your detailed picky post, Matt. I am trying to help the OP not you.You admit you haven't used green square mode, so your whole post is not based on experience. Just trying to have...

Hi. Are you writing from experience?Nope. I used green square mode on group portraits, swans sitting on grass, and flowers, and had lots of issues.I can only promise you -- to quote myself --...

Well now you have upset half the posters on your thread ;-) ... but not me!

Take it up with the OP, not me, it's his phrase. I presume an accomplished professional such as yourself DID read post #1?And leave your snide remarks at home where they might be more appreciated,...

I'm afraid the 7D is simply too much camera for many photographers like Sad Joe -- and unfortunately maybe the OP too if he sees himself as 'a simple jpeg shooter'.There is a misconception out...

What an ordinary photo. Terrible really.

Does the new model have the same name as the old one? It seems to.How am I to be sure if I buy online that the seller hasn't actually got a late-production old model? It would be an easy mistake...

Great to see some true innovation from Canon.

It looks so different (and very nice), the handling concept is quite different and completely logical in accordance with the camera. I've never seen...

I hope you are not confusing the 17-85 (good lens) with the 15-85 I recommended (even better lens).

Whenever my wife picks up my 7D for a few photos she says "it is only when I pick up your camera that I appreciate my Panasonic G3!"

All cheap alternative lenses outsell the more expensive better lenses.Which sells more, the 70-200 f2.8 IS or the f4 version?Which sells more, the 70-300 IS or the 70-300 L IS?Nobody is boneheaded....

I mouse over the crops and i see a large and immediate difference that i would pay for. Thank you for providing evidence of the new lens' superiority.

Oh good, now the dpreview lens tests, with their partner dxomark, can be summarized with one PMP number for each model of camera body it fits, in a drop down list.

So this is where dpreview was...

The new one is quite a bit sharper; see my post above. Photozone supports this.The old one is still a good lens.
