The main difficulty is that camera mass and/or support do NOT seem to be reliably correlated to the occurence (or magnitude) of "camera shake". Put another way, it seems as though no one can...

I have tried to conceptualize a research model that could embrace ALL of the variables that must somehow be interacting to produce the vertical displacement that DPR has noted in images from the...

I have just now cancelled my EP-5 order.
I believe I have read every word that's recently been written about mirrorless "camera shake" and also "shutter shock" -- two purportedly distinct phenomena...

"It is actually Japanese camera companies and Japanese designers that you are upset with."

NO - I am NOT. It is the morons who comprise focus groups that I'm upset about. Like I said, forget...

Byron, your motorcycle analogy is a good one: Look at all the crap that's been produced by an industry trying too cater to the poseur "cruiser" crowd. (I ride a Triumph -- an OLD...

My point exactly.

Arrgghh! I was bemoaning the fact that American camera shoppers are so entranced by form over function, as evidenced by the popularity of cameras with a "faux" appearance. American shoppers --...

Say what? No, I must have been unclear myself. I am indeed a great fan of Japanese-designed, Japanese-MADE gear! In fact, I have a whole closet full of old 1970's Nikon equipment that I cherish...

Why do Americans -- and, yes, I am one -- so doggedly insist that a "proper" camera be shaped like an SLR? I read about the cheap, plastic, hollow SONY a3000 (for example) and I almost feel pity...

I also have the Nikon-to-MFT Metabones Speedbooster.  My dreams of finally being able to hand-hold my Nikkor 300/4.5 ED AI and 400/5.6 ED AI lenses didn't work out too well -- they turn into 426...

Thank you very much for revealing your thinking so far about this new camera.  I find that reading about another camera enthusiast's vacillations in the face of incomplete information helps me to...

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah.  I had a summer job with Boeing after I graduated high school in Seattle in 1969.  I remember that the plane's "plastic content" was a major subject of discussion.  For the hell of it I just...

You are SOOO right. Disgusting isn't it?  Olympus has this to say about my EP-3: "The top cover and the bottom cover are made of aluminum, and the side shell is made of stainless-steel." Who are...

This is THE most tempting F-mount lens that anyone's mentioned to me so far. I especially like that it's FAST and that it's fixed aperture. (Did I mention that I also dislike variable-aperture...

This is also an excellent suggestion.  I must say that I love all fifteen of my Nikkors dearly -- you can tell I'm only a hobbyist because they're all in great shape! -- but I'm not wedded to any...

Excellent advice.  I glanced at a roster of "DX" Nikkors only long enough to confirm that each has a "G" embedded in its name.  I don't know why I didn't see immediately that their size and weight...

I have a feeling you just supplied me with some important information - but I'm too ignorant to recognize it! As you might guess, I had virtually no information about the evolution of autofocus...

I have no experience with using APS-C lenses with the EF mount-to-u43rds Speed Booster. And obviously no one has experience with the Panasonic 42.5 f/1.2 yet. Given that AF speed of the EF-u43rds...
