It's overpriced if Olympus loses money on it, or if Olympus does not achieve its sales target.  Olympus considers the market as a whole.  Individual opinion is not very relevant, market opinion is....

As you know, there are many ways to isolate your subject.  You can use color, contrast, texture, etc.  Rather than fighting with your equipment, work with it.  Regarding blurring background, it's...

As of this morning, Panasonic cameras are the top 3 best selling compact system cameras on Amazon:

I hope not.   Having two factions together enables us to learn from each other.  Sure we have to suffer through some verbal sparring, but it's all good entertainment.  Lenses are what tie...

Pinpoint focus and using LCD as a touch pad are two separate and unrelated functions.  You can set focus to pinpoint focus and use LCD to move the focus point while looking into the EVF/LVF.

Most people refer it to 'rangefinder style' as in the looks, not the actual mechanism.  It has a cleaner look compared to the fake penta-prism look of the Olympus OM-D series.  It also makes the...

> I have seen 20x30 from a Canon 20D (8 MP camera) with fantastic results. Yep.  I've gotten great 20x30 prints from 6mp images.  It depends on your viewing distance, of course.  If you hang it on...

I'm don't have experience with the 45-150, but own the 45-175.  It's very compact and does internal focusing. I have a couple of images here  if you want to take a look.

> You can "look there" and understand, without being told "look at there" or "look over there."

Although English is not my first language, I don't think that's right. You can 'look here and...

Moti, can't you read?  This is the M43 forum, NOT a photography forum.  Why are you surprised that a topic discussing the latest M43 gears getting a lot of posts?

I bought mine on Amazon, but it came in a plain white cardboard box with no Panasonic label on it.  Your post explained possible reason for that.

If it's like the GH3 it has 5 custom settings, C1, C2, C3-1, C3-2 and C3-3.  You can see the setting right on the screen (no need to dive into any menus) if you have the basic info shown on the...

> how would using either the 14-45 or 14-42 ll be affected by either a 12 or 16 MP sensor? I'm no sensor expert, but a 12mp sensor should make the different in sharpness less pronounced.  Again,...

Don't forget the GH3! GX7 or E-M1 may be new and sexy, but the GH3 has something neither one of them (nor the EM-5) has: fully articulated screen. It could come in handy in some circumstances. I...

Elliot, you did not tell us what you intend to use the lens for. When I said the 14-45 is sharper, it does not mean the 14-42 II is bad. It's actually decent, and seems a bit sharper than the 14-42...

Well, I have both in my possession right now.  14-45 is sharper for sure.  But the 14-42 II has the following advantages:  1) very light and compact,  2) does not extend much when zooming Although...

> The G6 is a very good choice, and IQ is not much different from the GX7. How dare you speak the truth!
