Tried out a GX-7 today with my Oly 75/1.8 at Glazers here in Seattle.  Turning IBIS on I could not tell it was working while the shutter was half-pressed.  The image in the viewfinder was not any...

I've had my black version for a few days now shooting with my GH-2.  Wide open it has just a hint of CA in the RW2 files that is easy to correct.  The excellent wide open sharpness improves only...

I wish Nikon or one of the m43 companies would come out with a fixed zoom lens body using the Nikon 1" or DX sensor or m43 sensor with a 24-80 or so equivalent lens. Faster would be better, but at...

You can get a DX DSLR BODY for the price of a P7800, but when you throw a lens or two in to get the equivalent focal length coverage you are at $1K or so. The DSLR system is also much bulkier in...

If only Nikon had made it a 24-XX FX equivalent I'd be sold . . . perhaps the next iteration they will. In the mean time I'll keep using my LX7, which is fine, but it does not have an EVF nor an...

I just bought the 75/1.8 Oly instead of the 35-100/2.8 because the off-center sharpness is much better (based on the samples I've had access to), the 75 is much smaller for portability, and it's a...

Knowledge is power for those able to handle it. Yes, most people would not even know these issues were going on, but it is something to be aware of so that if you do have some off-axis sharpness...

Looks like dust on your sensor.  Telephotos tend to accentuate visibility of dust.  Take a look at your sensor.

I find nothing amazing about these images - their quality (most are very very good some are blase . . ) are more a reflection of the skill of the photographer than the capabilities of the...

As an accomplished D800 user I know all about RAW.
As far as increasing shutter speed, that's hard to do without running the ISO way up on such a small sensor so that the results become, well, less...

At first glance this seems silly, but upon thinking what I use an AW camera for it makes some sense. My current AW camera is a Panasonic TS3 which has already failed me on vacation one time (after...

+1 Vladimir! Too many people spouting first before thinking.

Wrong Post!

Well, let's see:
- Yes, from the beginning frames of the video where they show the moonless starry night sky, then by your math it IS 0.01 lux.
- The fireflies are not illuminating the scene as...

The real test is comparison of RAW files that have the highlights brought back and the shadows lifted. Pulling back highlights and lifting shadows really reveals a sensor's characteristics and is...

EM1 if it had built-in flash.  If it has the same menu system as the EM5 that's a killer for me as well. Otherwise it's the GX7. It is close though.

Yes, the multi-aspect ratio sensor is one of the main reasons I have the GH-2 - I'm shooting in 16:9 mode most of the time.  Wish Pany would continue it in either their GX or GH line, but I fear...

Though the EM-1 is more my style of camera, the GX-7 ticks more boxes for me.  Built-in flash, tilting LCD, compactness, at least some IBIS, menu systems that make sense (assuming the EM1 is like...

Not all that often, but when I do I don't want to go find the flash unit and put it on.  It's either available immediately or there's no flash at all.  Used most often for close-up fill flash, so I...
