Do people seriously carry all this kit around?

Maybe there should be a Canikon mule to carry it all

For street shooting, I want to be able to set the shutter speed and aperture, but let the camera choose the ISO setting because the locations I shoot have widely varying lighting. I can't work out...

I don't see it as nit picky. In fact, I see your comment as misguided. The "laborious" comment, even though I don't necessarily agree with all of it, was well-thought out and is exactly the sort of...

You're comparing a sensor freshly released with one from a few years back. A better comparison might be 7D vs EPL2 or 70D vs E-M1 Have you seen the Fuji X-trans high ISO? I assume you haven't or...

Actually, if this pans out, how are we going to deal with all the new "split the forum" threads - 4/3 non-ILC?

I can see a premium compact on the horizon for Olympus. Here is what I expect: 4/3 sensor from E-M1 weather resistant body fixed lens 17mm 2.0 Rangefinder styling (but more compact) with EVF...

Don't see the point in adding weight, bulk and price for f/2.8 f/4 is fine for an UWA zoom. Look at the Pana 7-14mm. Is that big enough? Fast UWA are mitigated by their typical use which doesn't...

I think the market for the lenses you're thinking about is too small for Olly & Pana to worry about. The need for super-bright lenses diminishes with the ever-increasing high ISO and IBIS...

All these numb-skulled ideas clogging up the forum about splitting it into OMD / PEN / PANA / OLLY / SLR & E-M1 are missing the most important aspect to differentiate true photographers.

Relax, man. It's just a camera. Not like they wuz sayin' nothin' 'bowt yo mama http://www.flickr.com/photos/53061745@N02/

Pro equipment doesn't need the word "pro" on it. It's usually obvious enough to those who understand their equipment to know that it is pro level. In my experience, anything with pro written on it,...

I like the image of the hula hoop girl contrasting with the protesters. You captured a moment with a focal point and the background adds some context. In most of the others, it doesn't seem like...

I think this is going to be a bit a niche camera. It improves on the E-M5 in lots of small ways, but for most users, and pretty much all new users, it doesn't really have much to offer over the...

I carry a Panasonic G3, 3 primes, and an ultra wide zoom (14mm, 20mm, 45mm, 9-18mm), 2 spare batteries, and 2 filters in a bag in which my friend cannot even get his Nikon D90 BODY ONLY to fit...

Maybe a higher resale value, but you'd still lose more in $ terms than a Panasonic owner. Besides, most Leica buyers who are 'enthusiasts' will probably already own LR

Mostly taken in Saigon and Hanoi Helmets became mandatory a couple of years back.... for adults  And there's a 4-pack of beer on top to get the new owners started  the bottom of the road...

You need to get closer and wider. You need 35mm or less on an APS-C body such as your Canon. Your people shots are all of backs with no interaction or moment. Street photography needs patience,...

It depends on what you currently have and what you like to shoot. http://www.flickr.com/photos/53061745@N02/

Another big lawyer payday looms

but that system has consistently produced astonishingly innovative world-leading products which has shaped our shared experiences for several decades, so, at least on some levels, it works.
