I'm surprised by the 40-150; didn't think it would do that well from the distance. I must confess that I don't think I'll use the 75- (or 100-)300 after this junket, so it's probably a dumb...

Thanks. For sure, fast shutter's gonna be a requirement, along with big ISOs, I expect.

oops. sorry. this meant to reply to Just Having Fun Boy, I saw the EXIF on those first two photos that said they were taken in 1899. Was I impressed. I don't know how old you are, but it sure...

Hmm. Thanks. I'll revisit the Panny 100-300. Can't recall why I sort of scratched it. Maybe it's slower than the Oly or the reviews I saw were rather ho-hum.    As for Fenway, yes, I would have...

Nice shots; those are the kinds of pictures I'm hoping to grab. And in fact, having seen these,  I think I may pick up an E-P3 instead, plus the long lens.

Answer to question #1: Yes, particularly if it's an Olympus.       Answer to #2: He's of a more recent generation than I and is not a camera buff beyond (of course) his smartphone. So I'll probably...

I'm taking my son on an intensive consecutive 7-day baseball junket in early July. We're heading to Cincinnati, then Cleveland (both day games), followed by Pittsburgh, New York (Yankee Stadium),...

Thanks Walter and bgalb for the correction on the P-40. I knew I should have taken a notebook with me.

Ignorrrrrrre! Images are finally in other thread. And I'd delete this one if I knew how.

oops. didn't quite mean to post this yet.Honestly, I think you'd find the Olympus XZ-1 with a 1.8-2.5 fast telephoto lens and 10MP more than sufficient, simple, and less than $400. Oh, well.

Well, phooey, I'm a day late and a dollar short.Personally, I think you're throwing away money in buying the E-M5. Yeah, it's a very fine camera, but based on the kinds of photos you want to take,...

Huzzah. Those are some extraordinary photos. Great work and thanks a heap for posting them. I really enjoyed the variety of your captures.

Bosuns Mate Tedolf, I know you're probably bored, but please don't start another silly thread war.Yes, I know this is a gear forum (except it's only that when someone decides to start a fight),...

Very nice shot; the seats do it, for sure.And thank you from the bottom of my heart for not posting yet another useless concert photo (singer holding microphone, eyes closed; guitarist plunking one...

Well, starting with the negative (always easier to gripe), the cat shot is (IMO) by far the worst/least interesting (but compared with many shots posted here, not bad).Love the dog shot, really...
