Yes, I'm feeling the same way. It's interesting times: on the one hand, the new E-P5 is probably the most desirable camera in the whole µ43 range since the original E-P1 (the E-P2 was good, too,...

Hi,Cracking work, indeed. I handled the RX1 for about 15 minutes when a friend of mine (who reviews cameras for a living) walked in with one one day. I tried using it like I used my Zorki...

Hello,Don't take this as if I'm bashing your experience or the RX1 as a camera. When the camera was released, I did indeed bash it because I didn't get the concept, but after playing around with...

Whether it makes sense or not, it's unavoidable that electronics will scale down to a size where it becomes much more easy to fit it all into a (fairly thick) back for a film SLR. Seen the fact...

What can we say ?  It seems like you've already answered this yourself: for you, the short zoom isn't sufficient.I lived for a few years with a mirrorless with a single prime + a Panasonic LX3...

"Gadgets" ? "Toys" ?

Just kidding of course. I'm actually looking forward to having a camera that helps me in publishing content. There will be quite a bit of work to make it both easy as well as...

Hi Joachim,I've done a few trips with only a Panasonic LX-3. It's very possible. I sold my DSLR a long time ago, but then I never got used to the concept of a DSLR anyway (coming from simple...

Hi Justin,Sure.1) If you get a better lens, expect to pay a higher price, too. Less than €600 for a lens ? That's real cheap. Can't get a Ferrari if you only want to pay for a Toyota.2) Most of us...

Hi Jacoob,There are several good posts in this thread already. Here's a few other ideas. The best camera to take is the one that you're used to.It will take you no effort to make great photos with...

If you then drill another hole in the other side of the zoom ring, you can smoke through your lens. Great for turning any scene into a nice winter foggy atmosphere photo !Peter.

No, but here's how you can use your prime as a zoom. You take the prime lens in one hand and the camera body in the other. You then throw your prime lens in the direction of the remote object that...

Hi Jake,Oh, I've been called a snob before, I don't mind. I'm very happy you and the OP have found a lens that corresponds to how you want to use your cameras. It seems that a few prime users (if I...

Hi,Sure. And your iPod with its little earbuds give exactly the same, if not better, audio quality than a high end audiophile set-up.There are advantages to both: just like I don't want to lug...

Iain,That's not what DPReview says:"The 18-55mm can of course also be used on the X-Pro1, and when shooting with the optical viewfinder, the frameline will zoom to match the current focal length....

Hi,Exactly. This sounds a bit like "my SUV is the only car anybody should ever need". Sure, but I need to haul around more, so I get a small lorry. Or I am single, so I get a tiny city car. Or... ...

Hi,This reminds me of a female Japanese friend. She is quite emancipated, actually: travels around solo all the time, managed to (nearly) drink me under the table, was a 3 dan kendo, etc. When she...

Hi,Indeed, hand luggage only means no tripod and hopefully for you, no laptop. I'd go even further:I have the simplest but fastest backup device ever: a Nexto. It's basically a tiny box with a card...

Woh, yeah :)The 23mm is indeed larger than I would expect from the preview of it on the roadmap. But that's okay, it wasn't on my shortlist. But look at that 27 ! That one definitely is ! Perfect...

Great ! But they don't sell any compatible lenses except for the one in the bundle :(Peter.

Hi JorginhoThat would be a good summary, yes. It is overdoing it for me, but for others those features can be handy.Yes. But after trying to use an E-P1 with a selection of manual focus lenses for...
