  • Olympus & Panasonic need to focus on making their m4/3 cameras profitable. The last thing they need is to get involved in a high risk and expensive effort to compete for FF market share.
  • This was a case where the bikers posted the footage online.  Apparently, some of these groups get off on filming the disruption their mass bike events cause.  With a few exceptions, I'm against...
  • making a profit.  That is something I would find much more exciting than the ridiculous notion that they might make a FF camera.
  • I use Citi's virtual credit card numbers because they expire after one month. This feature is also useful for services, such as Netflix, that force you to agree to automatic renewals....
  • Apple and other companies with the clout to do so set prices through two tactics: 1) a tiny wholesale discount to retailers, and 2) giving substantial monetary incentives to retailers who only sell...
  • Not that I know of. I use the Google Chrome browser and set it to automatically translate websites that aren't in English.
  • Sounds like the only solution to your problem is to replace your E-M5 with an E-M1.  Or have you already given into the temptation? :)
  • BCN rankings show sales are down from the previous week for all GX-7 configurations.  The best selling GX-7 configuration, silver with kit lens, is currently the 93rd best selling DSLR/ILC, which...
  • I have progressive (varifocal) glasses and am quite happy with the E-M5's EVF.  I assume I would find the E-M1's EVF an improvement, but no upgrade plans for now.
  • The differences in the models' facial expressions is hilarious.  Makes one wonder if Olympus really did coach them :) Thanks.
  • An electronic viewfinder (EVF) is a camera viewfinder where the image captured by the lens is projected electronically onto a miniature display. The image on this display is used to assist in...
  • Agreed. I read this interview last week and couldn't believe that Terada's comments about Western women as well as the fact that he attributes the success of PENs to Olympus being able to...
  • Replied in Except...
    I think the last four words of you comment provide one serious answer to your question. Your question is also based on the assumption that OVFs are better than EVFs. Thus, the other serious...
  • Why would I want an eyestrain inducing view? :) Thom noted that power consumption is the EVFs main disadvantage, so you can't claim he is wrong about that. EVFs are improving at a very rapid rate....
  • To quote Thom Hogan: neither OVF nor EVF is perfect. OVF over the years has been optimized for brightness and overlays, which comes at the expense of seeing focus detail. Position of the eye at the...
  • One of his points was that he sees Nikon and Canon moving to FF mirrorless cameras that use their current lenses.
  • So where does all this put us? Tally it up. No advantage in sensor, image processing, shutter, frame rates, buffer, features, or potential advances to either DSLR or mirrorless. Clear disadvantage...
  • Replied in Probably not
    But you can't type as fast on an iPhone and the BlackBerry is still the best when it comes to security...
  • If BlackBerry smartphones die. Business people get BlackBerry smartphones to differentiate themselves from an iPhone or Androids. Business people are not going to be seen with an iPhone, Samsung...
  • Used 14mm in mint condition currently selling for $140-$160 on eBay.  Taking into account selling fees, I would hang onto the 14mm for its size advantage.
