I find with the right auto focus technique, I can achieve a better success rate with a moving subject with my Panasonic GH2 than my Canon 5DMKII or my Canon 50D. The truth is that if you are...

Fascinating subject. One of the main reasons why FF has become less desirable is the size and weight of lenses.
A different design approach to the lens/ sensor relationship could help miniaturize...

yeah right dw2001 - whatever.

I try to avoid a smaller aperture (higher f stop) than f5.6 on m4/3 due to diffraction. Good thing many m4/3 lenses have fantastic performance wide open.

In 2013 bigger does not necessarily mean better. Come on guys keep up!

Antonio. Sorry, I meant the DOF argument.
I think you get the idea.

"FF may all be mirror-less sooner or later."
Mirror or no mirror - FF or not, the laws of physics will always determine the...

Amazing technology. Sadly in Canon's hands the best we can expect is that it'll be put into a camera body with no headphone jack and lousy downscaling to produce horrible moire and aliasing artefacts.

I agree with all three as written.

I'm one of the many selling my DSLR gear and now enjoying the benefits of m4/3 for capturing people. My 5DMK2 is still in my kit for landscape/ architecture photos, but honestly I really don't need...

I really like the EM-5 look - but unfortunately going larger like the GH3 did after the GH2 doesn't work for me aesthetically.
I also think going even bigger betrays the m4/3 system (keep it small...

Personally, I've never wanted to shoot wider than 24mm. For wider angles, sometimes I've stitched and sometimes I've simply taken two steps backwards.
Remind me, what's the crop factor on the Fuji...

Crop factor is x2 on m4/3 - easy math really.
12mm f2 = 24mm
17mm f1.8 = 35mm
17.5mm f0.95 = 35mm
What's not fast and wide about them apples?

Nicely written!

"Cynics might suggest that it's been purely to protect sales of the X100 / X100S, which use a 23mm F2 lens, at least until the X system became more established on the...

"If a much wider 12mm lens can be made to clearly outperform the 17mm, then the 17mm is not so stellar, even though there is a small difference in maximum aperture. It should be possible to make...

Anyone know the specifics of silent mode (beyond what's already been written above) Specifically, I'd lke to know if the silent mode produces higher resolutioin images than the silent mode on my...

Couldn't agree more with this opinion. For me though THE number 1 reason to use my m4/3 camera over my FF Canon is face recognition auto focus. I bought a GH2 for video but quickly realised that...

150/3.5 isn't attractive until you stop down a Canon EF 85mm 1.2 L or 50mm 1.2 L just enough til it looks as sharp and contrasty as the Oly 75mm 1.8 wide open.

Still no review. What's going on with you guys? I know it's embarassing but even if you review 18months after it's release - at least you'd have it in your archive for readers in the future. Come...

Gotta laugh. Remember not that long ago when we though tiny mobile phones were cool. We've given that all up for large colour screens and terrible battery life. Are we now being told that larger...

I've already got a fixed lens m4/3 camera. I never take my 20mm f1.7 off my GH2 because it's that good!
