My apologies if I've drawn the wrong conclusion, but if you post about started threads slagging off Thom Hogan in a thread about disagreeing with Thom Hogan's opinion, then it is probably a logical...

Yes - my statement about "kids" was not meant to be exclusive from those that are older, but that from here on out, many new camera owners are probably going to be predisposed to not using a...

Whoa... who's slagging who off now?Kind of the point of a forum isn't it to discuss things whether they are about gear, opinions on where the industry is headed etc. etc.I posted a differing...

I am double-checking what you are agreeing with:1)  That size/weight/portability are key factors in moving into m43?  No argument here, never said otherwise... that's why I changed gear. or 2) the...

Actually I'll respond to this part further down. You could call it a stop gap or you could call it propagation of features into the line.  I suspect that the E-M6 will be priced to go head to head...

If I didn't already own an E-M5 and I could choose between the two today, I'd probably buy an EP-5 over the E-M5. I could probably live without an EVF of any sort for quite some time. I use ND...

That's not what I wrote, you clearly misunderstood my point.  I've never argued that they are not important.  In fact, that very premise, is part of the reason why I believe that the EP-5 is a...

The way I see it, is that it is a horses for courses proposition. I've clarified myself a bit in this post (Are you allowed to cross-post in your own...

No - I'm not missing the point.  His point is that head-to-head the E-M5 offers more than the EP-5. He specifically asks the question: "Where's the value proposition for the consumer?" and states...

You could always choose the black, way more discrete and feels more functional than the "retro-chic" silver. I'm guessing you won't be a candidate for a priority order on the white body with faux...

There only seem to be a dozen cameras that have 1/8000 of a second shutters, over half are $2,500+ body only and then 3 of those are probably $10k+. So it puts the EP-5 in elite company (it also...

Now I don't even know why you were arguing for an EPL-5 or EPM-2 earlier, if you value 5-axis IBIS so highly.

Don't the features speak for themselves? Ironically, if it was your desire to avoid appearing like one of the "me-too" crowd, it could be that very desire that prevents you from looking past the...

I wouldn't say that that was "easily".  I'd consider that a bit of a stretch and this is coming from someone who values portability very highly on their list.  I'm not a P&S upgrader, I'm a full...

I know the comment was semi-tongue in cheek, but out of interest - what would the camera need to push it out of "poseur" status? Have an internal EVF? weather-sealing? Not come in a selection of...

The EP-3 isn't capable of focus-peaking because it doesn't have the processing juice to do it.   The E-M5 has the same image processor and processing engine as the EP-5.  It has the juice, it just...

Certainly wasn't suggesting that the preference for using a screen is limited to kids - in fact you're not just talking about this generation, but every subsequent one.  Chances are, in a year or...

Yes - I probably did mean faux DSLR since we're talking mirrorless... they're both "faux". But the point was about form factor to which most have come to differentiate those with a pentaprism like...

I read the following article by Thom Hogan after following another EP-5 thread:http://www.sansmirror.com/newsviews/im-not-sure-i-get-it.html I have to say that I agree with the title, but not the...

Works as advertised, you get the option of white or black for in-focus "highlighting".  The choice of colour is not assignable to a button.  Can't say that I've really used focus peaking before,...
