Am I imagining things, or is that a black version of the 17mm f1.8?

How about gradually phasing out the 4/3's lenses while introducing high grade, weather-sealed Zuiko lenses for micro 4/3's?

I would love a 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 lens (my favorite when I owned the...

I've owned an E-1, E-300, E-3, E-420 and E-620. None of those cameras come close to the experience I have shooting with my OM-D.

Well, I guess it's no different than what the Japanese did way back in the day when they stuck the names of once great German makers ( Contax, Voigtlander Leica etc.) on their cameras to lend them...

Well, I'm not sure what you're on about camera choosing apertures on it's own in A mode, but considering that you have not figured out that you can increase the power of the flash makes me think...

Yes, be careful. You might find that you'll be using your Canon less and less. It happened to me and I finally sold my 5DII and all remaining gear. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/50135160

I don't know anyone who uses compact cameras anymore, except my 62 year old mother. Most people I know take snap shots with their phones.

I started a similar thread:http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/50135160There are still a lot of people who suffer from sensor envy, sensor anxiety, or whatever you want to call it. There are...

I still would have gone for the om-d.The  Sony sensor they're using makes hi iso less of an issue compared to Oly cameras of days gone by. But, the main reasons for going with the om-d are the...

The last sentence is key. The images I got with the canon and 70-200mm f4 were a pixel peepers dream, but in the end if you can't be bothered to lug a suitcase around with all your gear, and end up...

this is only if you're a tourist with a valid entry stamp to a maximum of 3 months ( beyond that you are in Japan illegally). My passports full of old work visas and spousal visas.I'm considering...

I think that once you've figured out the e-m5 and have it set up to your liking,  you'll be leaving your Nikon at home most of the time.

Of all the 4/3's lenses I owned ( close to 20 or so since the E-1) the one 2 I miss the most are the 8mm and the 50-200mm.Of those two, the only one I wish I still had is the 8mm.I have considered...

1/8000 shutter would be nice too.

The Canon could give you shallower depth of field BUT there are also issues with that. First, with shallower depth of field the chances of missing a shot increase. There were many situations with...

I'm leaning that way. I miss not having a fisheye lens. I tried the Olympus attachment for the 14-42mm, but was not happy.
