I don't have a pony in this race, but I'm confused at the thought that a camera that has only 5.9% of the market can't be considered "marginal"?  For every 100 cameras sold, maybe six are the Q?...

I think I may have found my backup camera for my EPL2.

So I have the camera, and the results are about as I'd hoped, although chroma noise DOESshow up past ISO 1600 or so.  I can convert to black and white for these, and a pleasing grain pattern...

Maybe this is just supposed to be fun?

Panasonic just doesn't do JPEGs right, in my opinion.  I had an FZ20, and while I was very fond of the camera, there was something about the JPEGs that bothered me, and they liked the smudging....

These are the noise comparisons from DPReview.  I selected ISO 6400 as this shows the characteristics most clearly, but they are visible at lower ISOs as well.  The EPL2 image just gets grainy (and...

I'm looking forward to testing the EPL2.  You may be correct that I'm getting a bad comparison from the noise comparison tool in the review, but I do know that the GF3's noise characteristics are...

The High ISO performance of the OMD is better than the EPL2.  It's the way they handle the noise present that I like better (from what I saw) on the EPL2.  I was looking at the Noise and Noise...

I just bought an Epl2, as the price has dropped to around 200 dollars.  I've not been pleased with the GF3 at high ISO.  Panasonic has never done high ISO well, and the GF3 is no different. It gets...

I find it sad that Optical Zoom became the next megapixel race. I had the FZ20, and it was a great learner camera: 12x optical zoom, 5 MP, constant F2.8 aperture, and Image stabilization. Then...

I wasn't aware Leicas were in the real world.

When they are small, it's easy.  I'd get a blanket or fabric or something (I'd go for simple or no patterns) and lay them out in the brightest part of the day in full shade.  I used my 50 f1.8 on a...
