Agree on 1.  Is the one with a dart-sharp beak a duck? What type?

People feel obliged to use a semi-commercial name on something which already has a regular and well known name. Why? Just because of the coincidence that the word has another meaning? Certainly one...

What is the disadvantage of this setting? When they provide an option, it usually means that some people don't want it. With old CRT TV's I was not comfortable with 50/60 Hz where I could clearly...

Fab images, but don't let it become a habit as it's an unsupported feature and there is no telling how frequent use might damage the device.

In terms of blood, not buying regularly might be understood as not supporting the manufacturers and therefore the world economy at large and might contribute to people losing jobs etc. ;) I don't...

Yes. So this is why I'm thinking that increasing the refresh rate might help. This is something that happens only if some sort of threshold of degree of perceived image shaking is crossed, it would...

Many thanks Anders for the info. I guess the problem I have is that the image I am concentrating on is shaking compared with the environment I am sensing (presumably through the sensors in my ears)...

Because they are not the same technology, most likely. If you glued 4 E-M5 sensors together you should have been able to get a 2 stop difference.

Yes it seems the case. And at F8 there is virtually no difference among all of the reasonably good FF 35mm lenses...

Is there data describing how fast these VF's are now refreshing? All very good points. The last one is somewhat alleviated with the current ebay culture making ship jumping slightly less painful.

Thanks. Does seem somewhat attractive given the video capabilities and external mic port.

With M43, that's it. The best combo at that FL one could get. With FF, you might be able to improve the results with a Sigma 35/1.4. Limiting to camera brand lenses does not seem to have a...

True, no rush. What about the D600? Asking because I do have Nikon, but no Canon, lenses.

Exactly, but all of the cameras on the list have some features I can use, that are not on the G3.

Size issue could be overcome if there is enough incentive, e.g. serious change of the current SLR pricing policy :) My sickness does not start at Leica and Fuji FL's. Also I have been wondering if...

Thanks Bob. Yours is a very utilitarian vision which is completely valid, and in agreement with several of the people responding to the thread so let's call it the majority view. I don't know if...

OVF, seriously. This has to do with my motion sickness. I've still got more than 3 years of warranty left on my G3 so I can wait in theory, or if the newer EVF's update fast enough so I won't have...

This is the most promising route now, although the G6 looks like Quasimodo compared to my G3, which looks like Esmeralda in comparison. Why upgrade at all? At the moment, the attractive features...

1. Wait for the E-M5 to hit half its initial introduction price, then pounce. 2. Replace the word E-M5 with GH3 in 1. 3. Wait for the G5 to hit the current price of the G3, then pounce. 4. Replace...

Everything dies of old age, but different devices have different life spans. It has been alleged that the new environmentally friendly (or slightly more environmentally friendly, as such things...
