To Andy Westlake: the shutter shock on the E-P5 does not sound very encouraging for the E-M1. Based on the specs (1/8000 sec, 1/320 flash sync), and common sense, I would have believe that the...

It seems that DPReview is determined to use the word "disappointed" in describing the E-M1's PDAF performance. Previously, they wrote that "anyone coming from an E-3 or E-5 is likely to find...

I held on to my 12-60mm even though I no longer have an Oly DSLR.  I just thought that I would not be able to get a comparable quality/performance lens once Oly gets PDAF into m4/3.  Now, it...

I remember seeing this lens offered for an incremental $45 with a G5 kit earlier this year.  I almost pulled the trigger.  Interesting that Panasonic doesn't seem to market this lens much in a 2...

Thanks for the comments.  I don't use the 45-200mm much, but have found it very acceptable when I do use it.  Actually, to me, the size and weight are not bad at all.  It feels quite good to me, on...

Is the image quality of the 45-150mm noticeably better than that of the 45-200mm (in the common 45-150mm focal length range)? Other than the size and weight advantages, are there other reasons that...

If they put focus peaking into the E-M5 firmware and then drop the price of the body by $100 to $900, then they capture some (a lot?) of the potential GX-7 buyers.  Oh, Oly can add the new Myset...

I thought the G6 is basically an updated version of the GH2?  I'm asking because I have a G6 on my buy list if Panasonic puts it on fire sale next year.  Just wondering why you didn't go for the G6...

I think there is a typo in your USD price for the HLD-7.  Should it be USD 202, per your conversion rate? What is the "BCL-1580" that comes with the body?  4/3 to m4/3 adapter?

If these prices turn out to be true, it's good that Oly did not go with the outrageous pricing it had when the E-5 came out.  For comparison, Nikon D7100 + Sigma f1.8 18-35mm is $1200 + $800 = 2000...

Chris, I understand. So it is the master flash's control flash during TTL metering that is effecting the TTL metering, when the subject is close to the camera and remote flash is far, in term of...

I think another issue is "proper" flash exposure.  Are you looking at the mid-level or the entire histogram?  As I said, for my indoor flash photos--mainly people snapshots--I like to have the...

Well, to give Panasonic USA the benefit of the doubt, maybe they produce the units in batch production runs, and having completed the production run(s) for the black units, they are not "presently"...

Interesting discussion in this thread. It appears that you are calling attention to one hypothesis: remote flash metering with Olympus camera (just E-M5?) is underexposed when the on-camera flash...

Well, that sounds pretty encouraging about the GX7.  Thanks for your comments.

you also said there wasn't a noticeable difference between G5 and GH3. But you see noticeable difference between GX7 and GH3?

It appears to me that it is just a slightly upgraded version of what's in the G6. If that's the case, I think the G6 may be a better value. It has all the features of the GX7 other than tilting...

And people especially don't want their photos taken by jerks.  The OP is almost literally laughing about how he got away with taking photos of people who didn't want their pictures taken--and then...

Perhaps you may speak like that to your mother and other adults?  Good for you that you associate with people who are not easily offended.

The G6 gets it right for me--if it had E-M5 sensor (or better), viewfinder same as VF-4, and IBIS.  But I think all that will be in Oly's next OM-D camera.  I could live without the retro look,...
