I recently went from a DSLR (Nikon D7000) to and OMD EM-5 and couldn't be happier. I travel a lot and got really tired of carrying around the heavy DSLR and lens. Sure the handling of the EM-5 is a...

Took my new EM5 and the 12-50mm with me for a walk in the woods.  Other than a bit of cropping, in Lightroom, the Jpegs are out of camera. I'm really liking this camera. 

I have large hands and tried out an EM5 before buying it. I found it much more comfortable to use than I expected.  I was coming from a Nikon D7000 and was very used to its ergonomics and button...

Thanks for the encouragement. Although I got the E-M5 primarily for it's small size, light weight, and good image quality, I wasn't expecting the image stabilization system to be as good as it is....

I've been a Nikon user for many years. Currently I own a D7000. The camera is great and works very well, but like many others who have posted on this forum,  I've gotten tired of hauling a large...

I have both the 35mm f1.8 and the 50mm f1.8. They are different lenses and serve different purposes. Since I use a D7000, the 35 (50mm equivalent on the D7000) serves as a good all round normal...

Now that you have mastered the technical aspects of the D7000 I think you now need to work on your compositional skills. Often, we come across scenes or events that invokes a feeling or emotion....

I got this lens several months ago for use on my D7000. It focuses fine and I get good phoots with it. I too wanted a 35mm equivalent field of view. There are those who say this lens isn't any good...

Thanks DonSimon.  I will very likely follow in your footsteps and get a new 50mm f/1.8 G.

Thanks for all the input. i thought it might be best to upload some examples. I took a series of photos varying the f stop under the following conditions:D7000 tripod mountedMUP mode to avoid...

I have an old Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF from my film camera dyas.  Although the lens is probably 20 years old, the auto focus and metering work fine on my D7000 and D50. The problem with the lens is that...

I've used a D50 with the 18-200 VR (original edition) for the past 6 years (I've only recently upgraded to a D7000). The D50 with the 18-200 was my main photographic tool for all that time. I have...

The set up was pretty simple. D7000 set up on a tripod in my basement. I placed the teapot on a black cloth on a table against a black background. With lights out, I aimed a small LED flashlight at...

At f/1.8 the depth of field will be quite narrow so you may have easily focused on the display stand and not the wall. Also you are shooting under fairly low light at high ISO. A much better test...

Either camera will capture outstanding images so that is not the issue. Rather it depends on how much photography experience and knowledge you have. If you are a rank beginner with no real photo...

I tried converting your photo to B & W using Silver Efex.  There are two issues with the photo you posted. First is the lack of tonality. Upon doing the conversion, I found the image to be quite...

First attempts at low key type photographs.

With regards to the current crop of  point and shoot cameras, which one gives the best high ISO low noise response. I fully understand that it won't be as good as a DSLR, and I'm not in the market...

Thanks for all the suggestions. After reading your responses and thinking about this about more I've decided to stick to my original plan and take my trusty 18-200 zoom. The thought of having take...
