  • Commented on Olympus 75mm F1.8 for Micro Four Thirds gets $900 price-tag news story

    Prices are always higher on a new product especially if there is no immediate competitor. It will come down once Panasonic and Sigma release their equivalents.

    Cheers

  • Commented on Olympus 75mm F1.8 for Micro Four Thirds gets $900 price-tag news story

    DOF can be explained this way and if I could post a simple diagram here a light bulb would go off in your heads and there would be no arguments.

    DOF is related to the aperture opening (width of...

  • Commented on Just Posted: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V review news story

    This is a quite a good example of big-number camera but it mut be said that 18Mp is a total waste on this camera. Even at base ISO the resolution is about the same as a 12Mp M4/3 or DSLR and that...

  • Commented on Leica M-Monochrom Hands-on Preview preview

    Hi Faintsndfuzzy

    I'll just have the Leica glass and it's woderful colours on another camera if you don't mind.

    Hi Faintsndfuzzy

    I'll just have the Leica glass and it's wonderful colours on another camera if you don't mind.

  • Commented on Leica M-Monochrom Hands-on Preview preview

    I don't see the point to this camera. At that cost and especially when some of those samples exhibit clipping.

    Would any of you enthusiasts with spare case really want a camera like this?

    Cheers

  • Replied in Incremental changes more likely
    As I posted earlier, there is a change to microlenses and noise processing which I doubt would take it anywhere near the E-M5 - perhaps half a stop improvement, but any improvement on Panasonic's...
  • Replied in Great shots but..
    I don't see the point in posting monochrome images of markets with their colourful fruit, veg and clothing stalls. Maybe its just my preference. Cheers
  • Commented on User Guide: Getting the most out of the Olympus E-M5 article

    Image stabilisation in the viewfinder would be a Godsend after trying to frame shots using an old 200mm tele on my E-PM1. I imagine that with IS built into the lens that this is standard on...

  • Commented on Pentax K-01 Hands-on Preview preview

    Yes they are cooked and there is some loss of detail - compare the image of the Greek God to the Sony NEX-5N or the E-M5 at ISO6400 and you will see more detail in those. Samsung do a sililar thing...

  • Commented on Just Posted: Olympus OM-D E-M5 review news story

    The NEX-7 should have been hit with the same (C-AF) con but for some reason there was no comment in the DPREVIEW conclusion. But perhaps we expect more (too much?) from the E-M5 or any other new...

  • Commented on Just Posted: Olympus OM-D E-M5 review news story

    Perhaps we should subtract points from the NEX-7 review because there is no mention of sub-DSLR continuous AF tracking performance in the conclusion for that camera.

    Perhaps there was some...

  • Commented on Just Posted: Olympus OM-D E-M5 review news story

    So we know it is not Panasonic then who does make that sensor because its a very good one?

  • Replied in TechRadar E-M5 test
    I have obviously missed it in the forums. Cheers
  • Replied in E-PM1 1st day... not overly impressed.
    < From what you are saying this is the only situation where the E-PM1 is inferior and I have also found that when using the flash I get artifacts in the image - especially in human hair (pixel...
  • Created thread TechRadar E-M5 test
    Most of you have probably already seen this. I'm not sure about the credibiity of the test results comparison for noise and DR but if these are a true representation then this camera (well the...
  • Replied in Microlens change as well...
    I read somewhere that the microlenses have been changed to concentrate more light on each pixel but thats hardly a new sensor. I wouldn't expect a big change - not to the same level of high ISO...
  • Replied in Persistance pays off
    Its not as bad as it first seems but you will need to read the manual while you go through the menus. Once you have got a handle on how it works it is really easy (like any camera really) and the...
  • Replied in OOC JPEG
    Thats very clean and excellent detail on the pens at ISO1600. Your other shots are good too. Any 'funnies' with the EVF like smearing, jerkiness or lag when panning? How is it in low...
