I'll have to work on the sky color, it never bothered me before! ;-) As for the "sticky" zoom, I just grab the hood and pull it to the level I want, doesn't seem sticky at all? -- Just...

http://gallery.me.com/jareed/100755/P1030338/web.jpg?ver=13119192170001 I'm using my 100-300 with a Bushhawk shoulder mount and my GH-2, getting great results on birds-in-flight and also perching...

That sounds really promising, and thanks for the tip. Good to hear from you, Anayv! -- Just cruisin' ... http://john-reed.smugmug.com/photos/130626445-S-1.jpg GeeOne, EffZeeEighteen, TeeZeeThree

$758.25 shipped, less than I paid for my G1 with the 14-45 lens! :-) Now I can quit anguishing over the choice. Thanks very much! -- Just cruisin'...

Panasonic offers one, but it's backordered for how long? Who knows? Amazon says "this product usually ships in 1-2 months." What if I want one right NOW, are they available for sale...

The GH-2 sounds appealing to me, as it works with all the µ4/3 lens kit I already have, and I can get the body for ~$800. The review here says it's pretty good up to ISO 3200, which would be a...

Got me wrong there. My point is/was, the Canon/Nikon bundles to reach 600mm equivalent are both much heavier and much more expensive than my current rig. The G1's OIS system allows me to capture...

Here are two successive shots of a fledgling Black Crowned Night Heron, taken recently with my G1/100-300 at full...

But as for me, I'm an older guy with a tremor, who has trouble with the huge Canon/Nikon gear it would take to get this kind of shot with my G1 @ 600mm equivalent,...

I will say the GH2 looks to be quite a bit more expensive than the G2, but from what I'm hearing you and Mark say, the G2 may disappoint me as my "next step" in this direction. Thanks for your...

I was reading the GH2 specs, and it looks like its frame rate is double that of the G1/G2, so one would think there'd be an improvement in that EVF lag. From what you say, the thing may never equal...

Can anyone give me a feel for how much, if any, improvement I'd see in EVF speed if I switched from my G1 to a new G2? I use my G1 with a 100-300 zoom, and would like to get better ability to track...
