Why would anyone need a hotshoe on a pocket cam? Planning on squeezing that flash in the other pocket?

Some really terrific compositions. Good work as usual.

I'd probably pick up the 12-50 too. It gets a lot of criticism, but its very versitile- decent wide, decent macro, can do movies, weatherproof. I'm atill surprised that for the price, Oly didn't...

I take my e-pl1 with 14-42 and 40-150 during the day, 20mm and 45mm at night. Everything fits in a small sling bag along with a mini tripod, a couple filters, spare battery and memory cards. Very...

When you start talking about more exotic lenses like a 10mm 1.2 in order to give the low light quality you want (because at 10mm, its not really about the depth of field), the more reasonable thing...

Try dropping Ming himself an email and I bet he'd be happy to tell you how he does his frames.   www.mingthein.com "I get on average 200-300 emails/ comments/ FB posts/ Flickr communiques per day...

Considering "single lens reflex" is an irrelevant term at this point, and would have been ditched if not for adversity to change, you're right, single-lens mirrorless is just plain dumb. Why choose...

That's what I figured too. It seems like the wrong decision though- some of those bodies seem unbalanced with all but the smallest lenses. Personally, I'd rather have a slightly larger body, and...

I really like the third one- the moving train is a great backdrop. The other two are so so- watch the placement of the microphone in the first photo, for example.

To me, the rx100 is perfect for this role. It's about as big as I would call pocketable (if you can only fit it in a large jacket pocket, I don't think that counts), the IQ is good, and it's...

I think it mainly comes down to whether you need the fast-ish f2 aperature. If not, plenty of lenses can substitute and give similar IQ stopped down, like the 9-18, and save some money. If you need...

The IQ of the original x100 was already excellent, and I've heard the x100s is just an improvement, so I doubt it should get many complaints. The new Oly sensor is very nice too, though, so they're...

I agree that a 35mm sensor can produce better IQ than an m4/3 size sensor. My point is that eventually, it just won't matter anymore. As technology improves, it benefits both sizes, so yes, 35mm IQ...

I dunno...looks about the same size as FF to me...if they made it any bigger, you might as well buy a Hasselblad. What is the point of m4/3 if it can't be any smaller?? Maybe you should consider...

Wow! Where do you get such good deals?

Sure there are. It's smaller. Inherently, there are benefits that go along with being smaller. a. It's smaller. b. It's cheaper. Did I mention it's smaller? ;)

...and your argument falls flat because it oversimplifies "better". There are many different views of what is better, not just based on pure IQ per dollar. If that was all that mattered, no one...

I like number 8 the best. In the rest, I definitely think the water is underwhelming as such a small part of the photo- maybe try cropping some a little tighter. Also, I'd pump up the colors a...

I'm fine with it, it's easy to find. The one thing that doesn't make sense to me, though, is that the original 4/3 forum was renamed to Olympus SLR forum, leaving out Panasonic SLR owners. They...

35 MM is a MYTH. It is no more the ideal size than m4/3, medium format, 1", or any other sensor size. It is not THE format based on merit of any kind- it is merely the de facto format, clung to by...
