Thanks, I think my friends' real-life comments are indeed the most valuable. But I don't think your 'pay' comment is relevant here, because the comments/community on 500px happen whether you pay...

I love the way 500px displays but cannot STAND the comments. Often the ~3 comments I'll get are 'Excellent capture, V+F! Pls take a look at my site' (I don't understand why if you're going to copy...

To add to your point, how something is priced is only implicitly related to whether it's better.

I owned the LX-3 (loved it) and have used the LX-5. I now own the XZ-1 (I lost the LX-3 and just felt like mixing it up) so I respond about the general 'class'. The upshot is I'm also a m43 owner...

Thanks. I appreciate your analysis!

Trying to use the XZ-1 more. I think I like it more than my pana m43 camera for landscapes, especially as I find i don't have to worry about focus and colours. Landmark  Walkway  HSBC and old HSBC

Both these sets are amazing work and why I plan to invest more time in landscape photography! Thanks! Used to think it would be easy (without thinking about it) until I tried...

Thanks for the tip... I think I'll have to remember to underexpose slightly in situations like that too. Yes I've got one, it was the camera I learned how to do raw on.

How did you process these? Sky looks too good to be real. (Unless sky looks amazing like that in Australia and I've forgotten... that's possible) Do you habitually underexpose then dial up so as...

This is great! Can you share how you set up the shot? like where you exposed, whether you used a tripod, how you developed etc.

I struggled with this too. I think it goes without saying they're both amazing cameras with great usability, in different ways. You know they can both produce great images. The GH3 even has a...

Thanks for the blinding insight...

Thanks, I think your opening paragraph said it all. The first photo looked nicely exposed - I will probably just automatically use comp -1 for scenes like that and mess around later In Lightroom....

I've seen good landscapes from the G1 so it must be possible. I find myself always having to expose to the left to not overexpose any clouds etc. in the GX1. Won't attach photos (unless you...

These photos are fine from a technical perspective (they're in focus and not massively over or underexposed) but they don't say anything and so are very forgettable. It's easy to take street...

I like mine. I bought the body for $400 last year when I thought it was a steal given the IQ and the ergonomics (it handles really well). It's just more of a steal now. I think it'll still be a...

Don't feel stupid but yes, this level of price drop is unprecedented. I don't think a manufacturer should do this, because it insults their early adopters (who won't make the same 'mistake' again),...

Didn't mean to lecture you, more just pointing it out to the internet in general. Anyway appreciate you being good humoured about it. Yes I don't really understand that irrational brand loyalty...

I agree one shouldn't limit oneself to a brand for no reason other than irrational loyalty. But the ability to be a 'fanboy' is a luxury. There are many better reasons to limit oneself. Carefully...

I go through an endless cycle of The Ricoh looks great and I've always wanted a Ricoh for the controls (and street cred, I'm embarrassed to admit), and it's so thin for an APS-C camera, but the...
