>What I'd like to see Oly or Panny do is, implement magnified live view, but not full screen. Say, half screen in >middle, so you don't lose sight of the overall composition while you're looking at...

I wonder how many of us who own this lens and have an adapter would actually spring $800 for a lighter, faster focussing version that wasn't QUITE as good? Particularly after investing in a few...

I have both.You can get very good results with the 12-50, especially if you focus it manually but you can't expect 12-60 insistent sharpness and contrast out of it. I bought the MMF-3 converter so...

I think I recognise some of the twigs in your last shot, Roel!I wish I'd had a bit of that floating mist . . . .

In the photo in London Zoo's reception the smallest type on the poster is clear and readable in the E-M5 shot and unreadable on the Panny shot, though the Panny is wearing the more expensive...

I was just there too, Roel. Its frustrating that the trees obscure the outside of the bend, wherever you position yourself on that hill.

I use a Mac and a 620 and E-M5 and always connect by wire unless I've used more than one card. It avoids so much wear and the (very slim) risk of short circuits. Because IOS-X and Windows try to...

Haha.Now we don't get to find out if it promote the selected answer to the top.Can't answer for the E1 or the E300 but otherwise the DSLR FT bodies all have the blinkies in Live View. I think it...

I'm saving my cash till the Olympus 17mm 1.8 appears. It can't be long now.

The FL50 R is really quite big when mounted on the E-M5 and without both bits of the HDL6 is quite unwieldy.

All you can really tell from these is that one of the Olympus stand members needed a haircut. I have a little envelope with the cash for one these waiting in my desk.I'm first in line.Is that clear??

£'s are the biggest currency unit and they want to keep the buyin price at £999.00First offering was E-M5+HLD6 £999.00. Since buying the 45mm 1.8 is practically mandatory, this is just a better...

Another way to look at this.Since good EVF's for MFT and the EM-5 have delivered a huge improvement in manual focussing, the price of Olympus Legacy 50mm lenses has gone through the roof. Clean,...

It's a bit of a problem, isn't it? I think purpose-designed bags for MFT cameras can't be far away but I haven't found a good one yet and am using a 15 year old video-camera bag atm.

That's the biggest for me too. Waist level touch shutter is rendered almost useless by this behaviourMy X10 has a 'stealthmode' button that shuts off the LCD and everthing that makes a noise. That...

Sure does. Great for shooting black frames with your knuckles. 8)Works really well when you RTFM.

Me three. The line of figures on the right are really striking. I moght takeout the hiker to the left of his head.

Great pics. I have just put one of my children on ebay to fund a 7-14.I think the place is badly served by its new visitor centre which doesn't serve the site specifically but generalises about...

I've just done my upgrade and did a half-assed test with a pre amp, mic and SoundForge, which merely confirms what your ears and common sense tell you. Though there may be a very snall increase,...
