Sound observation. Indeed, in technological terms there is little to discriminate between cameras of this level these days. They are all accurate, sophisticated machines which produce similar...

Anepo,
Perhaps you don't like this photo because of its context rather than its content? Censoring documents of dire social issues using such pathetic excuses has been done before, you know.

They were actually recorded on film. However, the power of those images has obviously nothing to do with gear.

I learn three things from this:
1. DPR got specific permission to link to those images. It's part of the Olympus marketing tactics to throw early teasers.
2. DPR likes this camera a lot.
3. Design...

Noise stopped bothering me a few years ago when I realized that: a) it can be easily eliminated using software b) I rarely use sensitivity ranges above ISO1600 c) quite often I prefer a certain...

To me zooms are not only "more than enough", they are too much. Primes tend to simplify the decision making before each exposure, allowing for more attention to the scene. Of course, I lose some...

It feels sturdy enough. Not a problem.

Excellent image.Off camera flash is useful for controlled scenes. Not for event photography, where you have to react to the situation and need the extra light on hand. I used to hold the flash in...

Not that small. They still affect the weight balance in an adverse way.I'm not. The FL-50R is what I've been using in the last five years. I don't need its full power with the OM-D.

Other than the GH3 you would have to use a FL-BK01 (or similar) and a cable to achieve proper TTL function.

One of the disturbing issues of m4/3 (and mirrorless systems in general) has been the balance of the setup when mounting a large flash on the hot shoe. The lack of a decent hand grip on most...

I read the comments attentively and come to the conclusion that most of them indicate a fundamental misunderstanding of photojournalism. The criteria in the World Press Photo awards are hardly...

I'm not too analytical about DOF. It depends on focal length, aperture and distance. Too complicated to calculate on the spot. Better trust experience. Usually I decide which level of DOF I want:...

I haven't seen it either. It's common knowledge, so maybe wrong.I would be happy with 10. As to cropping, I couldn't agree more. Anyway, the E-M5 has this digital TC. I don't know what they did but...

None of the current m4/3 lenses will resolve 24MP. Years ago Olympus claimed that their best SHG lenses could resolve 20MP and I don't see any equivalents to that kind of glass in the m4/3 line...

No one is killing anyone. Those cameras offer quite different compromises. Importantly, the D7100 is there to stop DX users from leaving Nikon while the GH3 is there to attract the same Nikon DX...

Metz AF flashes have versions compatible with the Olympus/Panasonic protocol including wireless TTL (if the camera supports it. The E-M5 does). IIRC the 58 AF-2 is the most powerful one in that...

A very good portrait. This lens has an impressive "3D" character also apparent in my ZF copy. Just a word of warning: beware of the ugly bokeh at apertures wider than f/2.Cheers.

Yes, I did not frame this shot accurately. Just lowered the camera and pointed it in the general direction of the expected action. The cut arm is unfortunate, but I feel it adds an element of...
