Ben, I couldn't agree more about the X-E1. Recently returned from Vienna and in the museums I used ISO 6400 regularly (and only jpeg) and the results were terrific. I have to say, though, that as...

Folks, likely been discussed before but I want to mention that the Wasabi Power batteries from Blue Nook are terrific. I have ordered them as spares for my V1, Fuji X-E1, and several other cameras....

Folks, Just this weekend ordered an X-E1. I'll confess that as much as I've read about the great IQ, it was the appearance and build aspects that caught my eye. Love the classic look and the...

Appreciate the responses guys. It's interesting you mention you have never had an issue. As it turns out, the only issue I've ever had with a lens was likely caused by a filter. I had an Olympus...

Folks, I just bought the V1 with 10-30 and 30-110 lenses. Really impressed with it. I couldn't resist buying the new 6.7-13mm which seems to be a great lens in what little time I've had with it so...

I'll give you a couple of reasons.1) While certainly very good, I don't think the IQ of the NEX-6 is as good as the K-5 (or any other quality APS-C DSLR). It's not a matter of Sony's engineering...

I agree with kev777zero. Gosh the forum has gotten so techno-babble cynical about everything. This camera has the potential (emphasis on potential) to have DSLR IQ in a small, light package with an...

As a follow up to my previous post, I think it's an important detail that the EVF was my only real complaint with the OM-D. Didn't know you were also considering it. The camera was very well built,...

I bought an Oly OM-D E-M5 (never liked that model name) and had to return it solely because of the viewfinder (EVF). I've had a string of DSLRs leading up to this and I guess I'm just spoiled. I...

Man if you need $20 bucks to upgrade, hit me up. I hate to see a brother Mac user go without! :)I'm retired Navy but alas not "really" retired. Doing the defense contractor thing now. Can't afford...

Thanks very much folks. Seems like I have several choices. I think just to hedge my bets I should buy a couple of them :)Chuck

Folks,I'm a new K-5 owner and bought it with the 18-55 WR lens since it was a good deal (and having had Olympus DSLRs including the E-3, and Canons including 40D and 50D, I am very impressed with...

Thanks for all the input folks. Really looking forward to getting the K-5. Always liked the Pentax and Oly stuff for various reasons.Chuck

Folks,I have had a few Pentax SLRs and DSLRs over the last many years. Last DSLR I had was a K20D and I generally liked it. I recently ordered and returned an Oly OM-D. The camera was great, but it...

Folks, an odd one here. I have a black OM-D and 12-50mm lens I bought a week ago with 3 shots taken. As new, blank warranty cards and receipt from Adorama. It's not been out of my house. I took a...
