Why would Sony smile? Panasonic have produced a much better camera system for only a slightly premium on the price. M4/3 has a much better value and capability with lots of 3rd party support. With...

Your camera should have both sensor cleaning and pixel mapping (or pixel refresh) - at least my Panasonic G3 does. Pixel mapping will simply identify hot and cold pixels (much like dark frame for...

wakaba, why so angry? btw i hope that shot was meant to be an example something wrong, cause the bird is severely underexposed.

Why the diss on China? The OM-D itself is made there - as is my Panasonic G3. I'm sure like most of the Japanese they have pretty much full control of the design and manufacuring process, no...

I think the target lens is the smaller 28 - 100mm prime prange of lenses. I have a Panasonic G3 and use 28mm and 50mm Pentax primes. Still much smaller than a Canon 600D/60D. I would like to get...

I believe the "cross" on the web tends to attract insects, particular at twilight, as it is quite white.

Sorry, Mark. I used the 14-42mm I had on the camera. I took the shot from probably about 50cm or so (the shot is cropped about 50%).

Taken in my backyard, a week after I got my Panasonic G3 in late 2011. Rediscovered it and processed in Darktable (open-source alternative to Lightroom)

Just going through the "archives" I found this shot a standout example of how good the basic combo is. This was only a week after picked my camera in late 2011.Oh, and I processed the raw image in...

I have had my G3 for just over a year now. I have been intending to get an external flash for a while. I ended up getting a Yongnuo 560-II as I mainly wanted to try out off-camera "strobist" type...

We regularly get these in our backyard (sometimes a dozen or so). While I did PP in Lightroom, I *didn't* turn up the vibrance ;-)

See if you can buy them a second-hand A-series. I have been using my daughter's A550 (she how has a IXUS 120) as well an A620 for some timelapse shots (using CHDK). The A620 I got last week for $25...

I know Canon Powershots (my family has about 6) and my Panasonic G3 don't show focal length in-camera. It's probably because it isn't really relevant to exposure of the shot. That is, it really...

It sounds like the backlight might have gone on the LCD. Newer ones use LED, but I think of that vintage it is CCFL (fluorescent). There are two basic components - the CCFL tubelight, and the...

Actually, someone reviewed the GWC1 here - http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3219090#forum-post-41760302
