I am in process of buying a camera and I really love the Panasonic Lumix GH3 but after seeing all the equivalent calculations (especially the x4 ISO equivalent), I am really disappointed. I could...

Thank you very much for your answers. You know your stuff and you answered my question perfectly. I guess the short answer is that the aperture number on the lens is related to the lens and not the...

To calculate the focal length and the aperture of a non-mft lens on mft sensors we use a crop factor of x2.Now I wonder how the aperture number on the "original" mft lenses are calculated? are they...

And answering my questions. In fact much more than that! I learned so much in this discussion than watching hours of youtube videos and reading articles.You guys rock!Thanks again.

See? that's my point. What makes you say that D600 is great and natural choice but GH3 is just a "good" choice? is it about the body? or about the lens? what am I going to lose if I get the GH3?...

Yes, the lenses may cost the same but I can save some money on the body if I buy a mirrorless. D600: $2,100GH3: $1,300

Hi,I am planning to buy a digital camera mostly for portraits. Checking the measurements in dxomark.com I found that D600 has one of the best specifications for the price. On the other hand I...
