All olympus flashes are fully cross-compatible with panasonic. after all, it's panasonic's flash rebranded as Olympus.  Ive used my FL-50s with my LX5 and GX1 on numerous occasions, and looking...

Im a former full time pro doing it p/t now and I must say that's one fine pic.  Just shy of 4000mm.  at F2.8.   Impressive!   I get my FZ200 t'row, I can hardly wait.

Ordered one off Amazon yesterday for $448.  get it trow.  psyched!! :-)  and here's why: tt's a steal under $450.  Hope it doesnt drop to below $400; I dont think it will tho. This cam raised the...

the Samsung Galaxy Camera was the first death-blow. refine on that and the folding optics and there goes the sub-$200 P&S market.

BTW my first digital cam was a 2001-tech Olympus Stylus with a...

sorry win39 but I don't feel "dumped" by O, they've taken very good care of me over the last 4 decades. And please post a link to this "recent announcement" that we are, in fact, being "dumped."

Many did, some dropped. like Sigma. I would love to see some fast Sigma primes for 4/3

what ^ said.

What Oly should do is develop and release a bridge s/z similar to the Pannie FZ200 but with a 1" or 4/3 sensor and some sorta sweet 25-600 or higher constant 2.8 Zuiko Digital lens. Take that,...

Imma gonna play Devil's Advocate here.  Ive been shooting runway shows since the late 1970s and I have never run into a situation where flash is expressly forbidden (but then the largest market Ive...

I think this will be part of larger trend wherein companies will get rid of all the low end P&Ss mostly due to advances in camera phone tech. In a few years the only P&Ss will be the higher-end...

I still have the OM-4t I bought in 1987.  Thousands of clicks later it still keeps clicking--and it has NEVER been serviced despite being put through photojournalism hell.  Bought it with the 100mm...

$1699.   And the E-5, what remains of them, will drop to below $800.  That is a grand deal.

Fujinon lenses cant hold a candle to Zuikos, period.

What SB said.  Plus it's easier to sandbag a C-stand's legs than a conventional light stand.  I like the Avengers, they are beastly H/D stands, I have two of them in my studio, and two Avenger...

I am already a slave to one "A" (Apple) I have no desire to become a slave to the "other" A. I have Photoshop CS4 installed on one of my computers, but never use it. Aperture and Pixelmator take...

Yup that's street, one of photography's purest forms. If some of mine arent oof, or blurry, or strangely composed, then I have failed.

true, but some of us are in tight spaces, and 8 feet is a long distance for us, so we have to make do with what we have. btw, I use black, with light background and highlight/kicker lights, but...

Yes Ive heard the same thing from others I know that have shot with this.  I'll stick to my 12-60 thank you.  I need fast decisive focus in my line of work.

If I was doing that kind of work, where the client wanted and would pay for high end equipment, I would rent.

Lol right haha ask my colleague that bought big bank into Elinchrom and when that "more money" stuff went south on her after 7 light months of use the nightmarish BS she went through just to get to...
