The camera only matters if the photographer is skilled enough to make it matter. Today's cameras are all very good, so the impetus is really on the user. To be completely honest, many people who...

It works, I like it a lot.

Foveon is horrible in low light. I have a DP2, worst low-light performance I've ever used. Best base ISO camera I've ever used. Here's a shot with good light....

That's a pretty extreme example though (rotating propellers). The silent shutter is great on the V1, agreed. I haven't experienced artifacts like the rolling shutter at all. Olympus shutters as you...

The OP is going to drop a lot of $ here. We owe it to them to give factual information when possible and state our subjective opinions as such.

Beautiful. Envy, envy, envy...

Great, thanks for posting this. I'll look these guys up.

OP would be wise to disregard this post.

Great post. To the OP-- Your decision doesn't have as much to do with IQ (both are great, provided you use top glass on the GX7) as shooting philosophy. Are you ok with a single focal length? If...

Can you turn me on to some Magnum photographers using M43? I know David Allen Harvey published some photos with his GF-1, but any others would be interesting to look into. Btw, not being a...

Very helpful replies, thanks very much.

Thanks for the info. I don't at the moment have the manual, and was just experimenting with spot metering during the past few days. Very good to know, thanks for your efforts.

Get a refurbed 30-110 (mine was 125$) and an 18.5. The 18.5 is fantastic for when the sun goes down. I couldn't shoot the V1 without it.

Fantastic, thanks very much. Sorry for the confusion, I'm searching through old threads so as not to be repetitive and these reports were a little offsetting.

Hi Jeff, I'm very familiar with the "issues" regarding the technique. But I've found occasionally with any camera that the technique is necessary from time to time. With enough time, I'll move the...

Ok, specifically, can I focus on an object with a half shutter press, recompose, and shoot? Without having to use the AFL button?

Couple of things-- 1. I know the technique is not good with large aperture. 2. I've done plenty of searches on the subject, reading old threads. However, many firmware updates have taken place...

350$ better, or no?

Or does it simply meter the very central portion of the frame? Thanks for input.

How did the print look?
