You just have to try taking shots of the tops of tall buildings or trees to be converted to the tilting viewfinder. Then you realise it's great for tripod work too. I had one before on my old Ricoh...

A comparitive review of these two cameras would be interesting.

http://www.focus-numerique.com/test-1743/compact-panasonic-gx7-verdict-14.html (This is in French) This seems a good, thorough review. Despite a rather long list of negatives in the verdict, they...

Yep, the staff here should give up their weekends to review cameras, not have fun on their days off. Androohttp://Androo.smugmug.com

I think that's a bit of a generalisation!

Because I'm seriously considering moving to MFT I've mentioned it to a few people and suddenly realised that no 'average' person seems to have a clue what MFT is. When I explain, it's hard to tell...

I saw one in an independent shop in Harrogate a couple of days ago.

I wish when I click on the 'read our first impressions' that it would go straight there and not pass through the annoying intermediate page.

Very niche. Nothing wrong with that, unless you're trying to save a dying system. Doubt this is intended to do that though. Some people will like it, many will find it totally irrelevant. But it...

It's an interesting question because the 6D is obviously going to beat the GX7 in all the usual tests for IQ. So would I give up some of the 6D's IQ for the GX7's portability and flexibility, even...

Exactly my thoughts.

Leica has done this with Panasonic cameras for quite a while now so it must pay off for them. This is in no way like one of Hasselblad's horrors. And since the Panasonic versions have a Leica...

There's a difference between brand loyalty and brand preference. Brand loyalty is a one-way street. It only benefits the manufacturer. I don't see the point of it. But I can see why people have a...

I can only comment on what I know, but having sold an S95 and bought an RX100, I can say that the Sony is better, but only about 5% of the time. And the Canon was nicer to use. I'm sure the newer...

Well, since I actually have little interest in Nikon cameras, and have never owned one, that's not what this was, and I doubt anyone in the Nikon forum would know what a Pro 1 is. The Pro 1 is a...

Which means there's still space for Canon to swoop in and give us the real thing. Slow operation would be nostalgic for Pro1 users of old though...

Only trouble is, it's a Nikon. Nikon's new P7800 has everything we wanted from the Pro1's successor: fast 28–200 lens, articulating LCD, EVF, IS, etc. etc. Shame I'm no longer in the market for a...

You just point'n'hope. It'll be the new Instagram.

At first it seems clever, but then you remember that a Panasonic LF1 can connect to a smartphone too (though not clip to it), has its own screen, viewfinder etc and is smaller and cheaper than...

When I had one on my old Ricoh GX100 I found it particularly useful for taking photos of tall buildings, or anything that's above you. You see things in a different way. Of course you could use the...
