For no particularly good reason, cameras seem to universally display a histogram of the embedded JPEG preview rather than a true RAW histogram.  You just have to deal with it as best you can,...

I all for more customizability, but still-to-video-and-back switching in general has issues due to sharing of exposure settings.  Ideally I'd like to see separation of exposure modes (to be able to...

I've never noticed the issue with my Panasonic bodies (G1, GF1, GH2, and now GH3) except for with the 14-42X and 45-175X lenses (the 14-42X especially).  I do take a lot of my pictures indoors, and...

You might try turning on the live histogram and keeping an eye on that. It'll make it clear when you're underexposing in a situation like the snow scenes, or when a lot of areas are going to be...

My GH2 was in for repair at the Texas service center for around 2 months end-to-end.  Panasonic was good about communicating status via phone and regular mail, but there was an extra delay of about...

LR 4.3 was officially released mid-December and does support the GH3.

It would be really great if it was that clean even without.

Assuming the rumor is true, then a big thumbs up to Nikon for finally starting to make CX into a more serious system!

It wasn't a case of buying the GH2 vs. buying the E-M5; I've had the GH2 for a long time.  It was a decision to buy an additional E-M5 or not.I did try the Huelight profiles at one point; didn't...

You have some valid points.  Certainly the GH2 shutter is not without problems too; I gave up on getting a Panasonic 14-42x zoom for use with the GH2 for basically the same reason.  But as I...

I tried an E-M5 as a replacement or augmentation for my GH2 and had some of the same impressions as you.  Build quality (in feel at least), dial feel, shutter sound, flash, and capacitive touch...

Oh well.  Thanks for taking the time to do the test.

Saving a draft I can understand, but of course you can also just write in an external editor and then copy-paste.  However, I don't think it's a good idea to allow too many edits or edits after...

Can someone who has noticed the E-M5 shutter shock issues see if firmware 1.5 has any beneficial effect on reducing it? The update notice doesn't mention it explicitly, but since they did some...

Yes, and we've been complaining about it since the G1 too. The beginner argument makes a little sense, but the camera should at the least allow you to do whatever you want in manual mode.

In your 75 video, I hear some noise when you're moving the camera, but when you stop and refocus the sound goes away. I'm assuming the sound when moving is a tripod squeaking or some other noise...

One thing to be aware of is that DoF and amount of background blur aren't quite the same thing. Be sure you know the difference and which one you care about. A good explanation is...

I did some more testing with video focusing, and my PL45 probably sounds about the same as yours. My 75 is definitely louder than my PL45, though the sound is a bit lower in pitch, more like a...

I can hear a little focusing noise in your PL45 video, but nothing in the 75 one (the second 75 video is marked by youtube as a duplicate). I'll try my PL45 compared to my 75 when I get home, but...

Yes, that was with the lens cap on in order to make it run through a full cycle. I'm also using it on a GH2. The thing that makes me think it's probably not normal is that it's notably louder...
