Was that before they had computers that could change the "looks" of images in PP software? Personally, I would rather get the most high quality lens (I can afford) that takes the sharpest most high...

I would also be interested in the G6 with 14-140 kit lens, but only if it came with the G3 sensor. It 'looks' and seems to have great ergonomics and features, but not getting the latest sensor...

Lensblade… is it possible for a very high quality lens that is very sharp and gives you very high resolution from (almost) corner to corner not be able to give you: a. good contrast b. good...

I understand the reasoning behind not having a super sharp lens when 'shooting portraits', but what other reason (if any) would you not want a lens not to be sharp as possible? Is not the ability...

Rather than getting the Olympus 14-150 f4.0-5.6, I would much rather get the Olympus Zuiko ED 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 (for the same price) and get one good prime lens to go with it. But, it seems like...

Personally, I would rather have a total zoom range from 12-150mm with two lenses than have to deal with three lenses, having no zoom and only 19, 30 and 60mm. To me, there would be much more...

…what happens in a few months with Micro Four Thirds cameras and lenses. I’m sure there will be very interesting developments on both cameras and lenses in the near future and I will follow them....

I meant Olympus PEN E-PM2 (not PL2) for $424 which is only $45 more, sorry. The E-PM2 is much better than the E-P3 IMHO. If you think saving $45 for much lower IQ and features is worth it, I simply...

Pay a $1,000 for a very outdated camera body when you could get a brand new E-PL5 with kit lens and a prime or telephoto lens that completely blows the IQ away?! You can't be serious or were you...

I have never taken a "Keeper Picture" that I wanted to print or keep for as a "Keep for Life" type of picture. Cell phone images are still pictures you email to people to view on very small, low...

Sounds like you are either jealous or full of sh..! From the tone of your post, I think it is a combination of both :-P

I can’t wait until Sigma (or anyone) announces new 12-50/2.8 and 50-150/2.8 zoom lenses, then, I would really be excited. I think that more functional lenses should be designed so people do not...

It depends, which are better, apples or orange in your opinion :-| They are both good as long as they give sharp images from corner to corner at all focal lengths and are reasonably priced. To me,...

WOW, when I created this thread, I did not expect it to go off in all kinds of different directions and  become so convoluted  (as it has become) and to make people anguish over things like you...

I am coming from a Canon G12, and still have a Sony DSC-H5. Both cameras still work and have served me very well. They were considered the best cameras in their class when I purchased them. Since I...

Very nice composition and color, but too much noise and smearing for ISO 200 IMHO. I think the new and improved E-PL5 sensor and better lenses would have done just a bit better. It's not all about...

MrScorpio… I have three questions for you. What is the difference in price between the 6D Canon and 2 lenses from 14-150mm and the E-PL5 and its 2 lenses from 14-150mm? What is the difference in...

I’ve decided to look at getting an E-PL5, the Panasonic 14-45mm and Panasonic 45-150mm lenses. After reading many reviews on the Internet and this forum, I think this system would be a perfect...

… Consider how many expensive lenses are absolutely needed, just to cover your basic needs? I have been considering the purchase of an Olympus E-PL5, then; I came across this thread with a post...
