Shutter shocked - http://www.flickr.com/photos/bershatsky/10110415136/sizes/o/in/set-72157636234268745/ Notice how its hard to tell that the image is shutter shocked from looking at skin-tones, but...

may show some microblur but not as easy to see the more obvious double-image.  Think of a night time exposure of traffic, the only 'movement' captured by the exposure are of car lights, not the car...

Indoor carousel in movement with fill-flash. I've done worse with much better gear. Tele end wide open full-size picture...pretty darn sharp edge to edge! The playground shot at 110 mm shows how...

The review only briefly touches upon the topic and summarizes and couples together several underlying issues into one section of the review. Shutter shock and shutter release shock are different...

You have unrealistic expectations for what regular service techs can do vs complicated firmware issues handled by some embedded software engineer working probably across the world on their own...

In the eyes and facial features. Ears are fine. I would say its just a focus issue, but then what confuses me are that the hands, which look to me like that should be in similar plane of DOF seem a...

Canon 50 1.4 is a two decade film era design but that is not to say that tolerances may not have improved during the time, and it is really mechanical tolerances more than optical design here that...

Pretty sharp wide-open at f1.4, and about $280 (bought pre-owned).  However I admit its rare you really need to shoot anywhere close to wide-open for best effect, and I like the size and overall...

Do you mean anti-shock and IBIS?  I disable both on my E-PM2 and fire bursts with reasonable bracing against bottom of camera and a VF-3 to my eye.  I have not done a lot of empirical tests but it...

4 seconds is an awful lot of time however is it not? I mean 4 whole alligator seconds...can someone describe the mechanism of the anti-shock? A. camera sensor is exposed, shutter release...

Yes I was hoping Anders W would chime in on the original thread but I think he must have been off doing something in the real world like taking pictures, etc. However what still interests me as far...

Agreed, if I was shooting purely kit lens I'm happier with a compact...for example I love my $160 Olympus XZ-1. CCD sensor produces end results coupled with low ISO attainable via bright sharp...

The old 35mm f2 is about as good in center as either the 1.4L even at f2 and the newer IS version. It only lags behind in the corners at wide open. But remember the likelyhood of even having...

Thanks for the test...perhaps the resonance frequency of GX7 shutter makes it more detrimental at 1/60th, Olympus I think is worse around 1/80th to 1/100th, etc. My hypothesis on variation per lens...

You are getting extremely low values on a slow zoom. Of course your conclusion would be that MFA does not do too much here. I use it for my 85 1.8 and 50 1.4 with values well over 5 and it makes a...

Only system that provides decently fast 35mm equivalent (the 22mm pancake) for super cheap with similar performance to ones costing 500-900 dollars on MFT or NEX.   Only system where the kit lens...

I just made this one using my Airflash card and in-camera RAW editing.  I can shoot RAW with XZ-1, but convert the RAW to jpeg in-camera, and then use an Olympus Wi-fi app on my phone to pull the...

And with all of those disclaimers, the only shot with significant movement is the swing shot...and the swing shots are something you can predict...a monotonous motion with high levels of...

And that is these things produce terrific macro shots!  How many other system lens alternatives take on considerable cost or size in order to have Macro capability?  For example the Oly 12-50, a...

It saves me a lot of money I can tell you that. Things that it makes obsolete to me (moderately fast wide primes on my MFT for example say the 14mm f2.5, the 6mm 1.8 is close enough and sharp...
