>Great IQ, better than what m4/3 can deliver

Well that's odd... I have the 550D with the 18MP Canon sensor, yet my EM5 runs rings around it for IQ whenever DR is challenging and PPing comes into...

Only in the case of freezing subject motion, shooting sports / stagework ect, but you lose out on AF.  The lens is a telephoto on m43, and with no IBIS on the GH3, you are going to have to push the...

I like m43 enough to make it my standard walkaround, but I am not getting rid of my 550D, and I could never argue that one is objectively "better" than the other.  There are specific circumstances...

It's cheaper, but it is hardly a better learner camera.  For "starters" you have to rely on the Rebel's metering (and at times woefully confused PDAF system) since the viewfinder is optical with no...

OP reviewed the lens to 5/5 stars.  "The folk" contend there are lenses >5/5 for walk-around on crop.

f11 is well into pixel-level diffraction on recent Canon APS-C.  The Sigma would almost certainly be better served at f8 (or lower).  The 16-35LII only benefits from f11 in the extreme corners (and...

I would say over half the cameras I see on the streets in the summer (and they are out in force since the tourists here are always taking pictures of something) in the last few years have been...

Kits bundles can cut down on the cost, but you would have to be pretty lucky in timing to pull off that kind of image quality for much less.  If you had gotten in late 2010 when the GF1+20/1.7 kit...

...still only 28 years old.  In another few years, I doubt there will be anything left to "debate."

PL use for taming reflections and boosting colors in vegetation, ocean, and sky (which looks to be the case in some of the OP samples).  Besides the OMD vis-a-vis purple issue, this is the only...

Which is less than a meter at 9mm and f5.6, so outside of specialist shots (which can be managed with DOF preview engaged and MF at 100% on the EM5) stopping down into diffraction mostly isn't...

44mm on EF, 20mm on m43 Given the crop factor, this flange distance ratio is close.  Also, I am also pretty sure all modern sensors have off-set microlenses near the edge... though Leica has the...

This I have got to see... a FF 40mm f0.3 equivalent?!?

The EPM2 + 14-42 is now 33,000yen aka ~$330 with the Sony... pretty darn cheap.

Makes one-handed operation from some tough angles possible when you can rely on AF.  For standard landscapes DOF is deep enough not to matter... but I am not often using a fisheye when shooting...

It is finally warm enough that I can shoot with light gloves, and that means bringing out the DSLRs and TSE lenses for a little extreme (DOF and pixel count) work.  The sunset of the 16th and the...

"In years past I don't think that Canikon would have allowed their subcontractors to make lenses that directly competed with their bread and butter products. "

Since Sigma and Tamron are...

As somebody who uses DSLRs and m43s interchangeable (often to mix up the range of FLs on hand) when my m43 pictures are obviously different from my DSLR results, it is down to my FF approach using...

If you have the money, and willing to invest in the technique, it will certainly allow you to pursue a style that is not possible on m43.  For the highest quality landscapes outside of digital...

I am not a morning person, but my location is really wasted if I don't get up for the sunrise.  To make matters worse, our JST time-zone is "off" while Russia (visible right across the straight) is...
