It's too confusing to have an award and a separate score. Since the score is a composite of many parameter, it really means different thing to different people, which means it has no fixed meaning...

This is just a general FYI.  If you have the GH3, you can do pretty much everything a cable can do with their remote app.  You can see what the camera sees, remote trigger, even touch screen...

> The likely lack of IQ improvement over the G5 is quite disappointing to me though. Don't be disappointed.  Any IQ improvement of any sensors these days is quite small anyway.  Look at the new...

Beware of the tiny buffer size of 7100 if you shoot sports in RAW.

Right, I've seen those before.  It's has good entertainment values, but not a lot of practical meaning. But now that you brought it up, curiosity got to me.  I adjusted exposure of some recent...

josbiker, you asked an important question. I think we all have to learn to trust our own eyes.  If you don't see a difference, you don't see a difference.  Many people here are trying so hard to...

What's wrong with an outdated sensor?  Whatever sensor you use today will be outdated in 6 months.

Agreed, mpgxsvcd. Along the line of weak video, I would also add that the lack of articulated touch screen further limits it's use in video and some photo shooting situations. The slow live view...

Exactly.  Everyone here is talking the talks, and backing up their argument with numbers and data.  I seriously wonder if they just read data for fun or they actually take pictures for fun.

I guess it depends on what you focus on.  I maybe wrong, but my guess is that adding one stop in deep shadow and almost blown out highlight is probably not going to change a picture by much.  Can...

@wakaba > Electronic viewfinders, LV - good for phones no place on a serious camera.

A good viewfinder does not make images better. You should have seen your image before putting your eyes up to...

> the WHOLE point of MFT at the time of it's introduction was for SMALLER cameras and lenses. <

True. But it turns out the bigger advantage is standardization. If Olympus comes up with a new...

> sweet camcorder but shows its the end of the road of m43 as far as challenging larger sensors with still image quality. <

I don't know. I think at some point, the mythical image quality is just...

> Overall I think the OMD is a better option for most people.

Why? The only advantage I see is the IBIS. To me, the OMD is too small to hold comfortably, and the rear LCD is not flexible enough.

I never had the kit 14-42 lens, but I did have both the 14-45 and the 14-42 PZ at one time.  Below are two shots taken under very similar, but not identical conditions.  Both processed via Aperture...

> ok... now compare what your 7D can do, with the images of the woman in the white dress! The lack of quality is HORRIBLE!!! I've taken pics of my daughter giving her first guitar recital in...

> But when equivalent lenses do exist in both systems, such as the 35-100 / 2 on 4/3 vs the 70-200 / 4L IS on 35mm FF, the lenses for the larger sensor systems are  usually lighter < I'm not sure...
