What, no camo/safari green?

My only "lingering misconception" is that if you need to set ISO 200 on an E-M5 to get the same exposure as you would from (say) a D800 at ISO 100 with aperture and shutter speed held constant (I...

Some of what you are seeing in the superiority of the Oly is an artifact of the E-M5 under-rating its ISO by about a full stop across the range (i.e. ISO 1600 on the camera is actually only...

You get 14-bit NEFs with the 5200 but only 12-bit from the 3200 (however I think they have lossy compression in both cases). That alone would be enough to push me to the 5200 if I was considering...

The Olympus OM-1 film SLR had a 0.92x VF, the largest magnification I am aware of (shared with their OM-40), and that camera was tiny. The Minolta X700/570 had 0.90x and they were likewise neither...

First if you have the D300 + 17-55 VR you are almost certainly going to be bitterly disappointed with the Sony 18-55. The Oly 12-50 has its own IQ issues (CA, which is at least easy to correct in...

Hi Rod,A backup/lightweight travel camera is exactly what I'm looking at. I have a Panny GX1 with a 20/1.7 which is compact and has really pretty good IQ (and operationally, it's fast) but on this...

I actually meant just setting it to continuous but stopping to take a single frame at a time, in order to get less shot-to-shot time than in single-shot mode. I don't think I could get the required...

I would actually stop at each frame, I just meant that I like to try to capture the whole thing in as short a time as possible. Regards,Scott

Thank you - that's exactly what I wanted to know!Regards,Scott

That's exactly what I'm thinking of getting one for - as a travel backup for my DSLR that won't give up much in image quality (going on a 2-week road trip later this year). Plus, the lens seems...

Interesting - thank you for that info!Regards,Scott

I'm picky and I was prepared to be a bit disappointed with the corners when I read about all the distortion correction going on but I gave it a shot and was very pleasantly surprised. It's a...

Nice! How many frames did that take? So you're saying that turning off the review will speed it up? If so that's good to know. I only shoot panoramas in M mode anyway, to get the same exposure...

Thanks for that - but can it go faster if you set it to continuous drive and just pump the shutter button about once per second? Does turning off the review make any difference?Much obliged!Scott

I am seriously looking at getting a G1X (especialy with the recent price drop!) but one performance spec has me worried - shot-to-shot speed. I mean individually, not in continuous mode, because I...

f/2.8 and no VR = showstopper (for my uses). 1/2000 shutter, but nothing about a built-in ND filter?

This sounds like a potentially great idea that has enough things "up" with it to drive a lot...

I didn't scroll all the way down Nikon's own page:
- losslessly compressed 14-bit NEF: 6 frames
SIX!!!
Memory is so cheap nowadays I can't think of a rational explanation for a spec like this

Any specs for RAW buffer depth?

I need a stabilzed midrange zoom to be really confident I can use it as a DSLR backup (or when size and weight are really at a premium) and will probably try the Panny 14-45. I would love the 12-35...
