Your small hand probably explains why you're not bothered by the OM-D's lack of a substantial grip (and, yes, I'm aware of the grip attachment -- but I'm also aware of the EVF attachment).

In these test shots, the Nikon shows greater detail clarity in almost all points OTHER than the extreme corners. So I guess you have to ask yourself: what's the most important part of your...

The selling points of the Ricoh and Nikon are a faster lens and pocketability. If those points aren't important to you, then, yes, the NEX is a better option.

@ Timmbits: the G15 is "very bulky"? -- really?! It's truly pocketable, and seems downright diminutive next to its direct competitor, the very nice P7700. Have you actually handled a G15? I...

Clint, it's only lopsided if the OP asserted that the abuse victim's poor choices somehow exonerated her abuser -- and he asserted no such thing.

I've never understood the notion of "this thread died (X) years ago".  This is the Internet, on which people search items of interest.  Either items are relevant and useful or they aren't.  If they...

digby, do you really mean "trances" (vs. trounces)?

The reason I ask is because it's utterly ridiculous to suggest that the X100S trounces "...any Nikon Full frame (sic) except the D4". Consult...

In the interest of clarity: 1) the US government does NOT = Americans; and 2) generally NO one defends the Vietnam conflict -- neither Americans nor even those in US government during that time --...

zakk9, your failure of reasoning -- and it is an utter failure -- is to simplistically equate My Lai with the Vietnam war; try to keep your focus. While there are many reasons to dislike both,...

By "it", I think Ivar means an avoidable, non-defensive war with high civilian casualties. Even the last war in Iraq, sadly fabricated as it was, doesn't fit this definition.

zakk9, I don't think Michael H contends the US wasn't involved; duh.

And do you know how many "innocent Americans" died in the Vietnam war? The failures of that war -- as those of ANY war --...

This and nothing else, zakk9? Take a pill and chill: things are usually neither this nor that, but this AND that -- and all sorts of stuff in between.

Surely there's something more current about...

Huh? I've...

Clearly better?! -- you need to learn how to use the comparison tool, and evaluate multiple points. Consider the spool of silver thread, or the circled C/Y/M letters in Kodak's Gray Scale, or the...

It competes more directly with the Pentax K-30 and Sony A77, not the A99. The OMD-EM5? -- maybe, but the two are ergonomic opposites.
