35mm slr > 35mm slr + 645 > dx format dslr > m43 {although still use my trusty dslr the most}.

Cyberlink Powerdirector 9 can correct/ apply a rotation {at the expense of cropping}. No dought there are plenty of other options........maybe if this is just a one-off, one of the many available...

Yep....not very conclusive. Probably be far more useful if the test involved the camera being tripod mounted {not hand-held.....with obvious shakes}, and with an MF lens being slowly focused 'to &...

Just a short effort, using my relatively lightweight set-up.....gh2 and Sigma 300mm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=zSTb08T33kc

Thanks for that Fernando! Looks useful as a general manual focusing aid, although it appears that it may not be up to the task of the intricate focusing accuracy required for bird type...

Yep, it is a bit quiet on that front, but the g6 has only just been born. It will certainly be a major plus for MF long tele users, such as myself, but I shall wait for some user reviews on how it...

I use a cheap Kiwi adapter, and although it doesn't have an internal baffle {in the conventional sense}, the inside has a couple of "steps" for the diameter reduction towards the narrow end of the...

Yep, I share the same thoughts regarding your first and third points!! I don't think it will replace my gh2 for video, but it could compliment it as a second body. With regards to its likely stills...

I agree entirely, regarding the video side, According to the specs {on the Panny site}, the Ex Tele Con feature is also available when using 1080 60p/50p......unlike the gh3 {or so I believe}. If...

Looks great to me Bruno!! These "hot spot" locations seem ideal for wildlife video, and this is a fine selection of the activity. Very enjoyable video, with a nice mix of  behaviour and video...

Excellent quality video's Bruno! Those Grebes make a wonderful video subject with their behaviour, and to capture it on film must have been very satisfying. The UK's Great Crested Grebes have a...

Here you go.... I don't have a suitable lens with a close enough minimum focus for this type of close-up.....so have had to crop severely. Just a quick hand-held shot, but it clearly shows the...

Good extensive review....thanks for that, It sort of confirms my reluctant decision to "get off the fence", regarding this camera.....and remain with my gh2 for video. Oh well....maybe the next...

Last night I checked my gh2 with a magnifying glass....as I didn't have my reading glasses to hand. Today I have looked again {with my glasses on} and can see the exact same thing as you {and to...

I haven't noticed it before, on my gh2, as they are very small display icons. Having just looked at my rear screen, using a magnifying glass, my gh2 screen appears to show exactly the same as your...

Just a short video clip of a Ringed Plover, shot mainly as a test {probably best to turn the sound down/off}. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=zty3xapHH3M I recently bought...

problem solved! I discovered {by accident} a setting that needed to be re-set......all is well now. I think I shall bite the bullet, and prise open my wallet for this version.

Its a bit of a long shot....but does anyone use the version 11? I use powerdirector 9 at present, and the main thing that I find restrictive is the various sliders {in the fix/enhance option}, as...

This, and the woodpecker video, look great Jon! I borrowed one of those sigmas for a day, a few years ago, and they certainly are fine lenses. At those distances, any lens lacking "in the optical...

I don't own either, but my guess is that for a bit more than $7000, an owner of the 300mm f2.8 will effectively get a superb 300mm f2.8...an extremely good 420mm f4... and a very good 600mm f5.6...
