I'm kind of in the same boat. I was asked by some friends to do some engagement shots for them and they also wanted to know if I would do a photo booth at the wedding. I told them to wait until...

I've printed up to 36x48 with my GH2 and GH3 with no issues even at close scrutiny. I re-size all my images in LR when exporting, set the DPI to 300 and export at 100% JPG, the results are sharp...

And I think 1.8 is too slow for M4/3's and that's why I said I don't understand why Oly can't go any faster. They make good lenses but please speed them up! Mark JamesA.K.A. Mike Ronesia

LOL, OK... I guess you told me, though I am not sure because I quit reading about half way through. 75 looks like an awesome lens and when it comes down in price and comes in black I'll most likely...

I'm not a pixel peeper and I don't know all the fancy words people use to describe photos, I just know I'm never wowed by shots with the 45 1.8. I was wowed when I tried the 35-100 and I'm often...

I'm waiting for the 42.5 f1.2. I use the Oly 45 but I find the shots lacking in character. If I had the 35-100 I wouldn't even hesitate to use that instead, when I tried it I was very impressed.

I don't post much on this forum because any Panny thread ends up with the rabid Oly fan-boys telling you why Oly is better even though no-one asked. I'm not talking about all Oly members, but there...

Saipan is part of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and is a commonwealth of the USA. There are 2 local languages, Chamorro and Carolinian, but English is the common language and all...

My wife Tammy and I live alone in a very quiet area with only one other house within 1/4 mile. We still manage to keep busy though. On a sunset dinner cruise the other night.  After the magic show...

I thought he was talking about the Cleopatra shot. Too many inappropriate comments to keep track of. :(

Both of your lives look way more exciting then mine. :)

First one is OK and last one is the best of the bunch, the rest do nothing for me and seem to harsh.

Always good to hear a happy ending after a problem like yours. Good for Oly... and you. :D

Just so you know the GH3 focus box can be sized all the way down to a cross hair (+) which is great when shooting through stuff or when the DOF is very shallow and you want to insure the right...

I don't shoot video with my GH2 or GH3, but it's nice to know it can handle it well if needed.

It can in regular shutter mode. Florescent lights flicker, even though we don't see it with our eyes. Electronic shutter picks this up and that is what it is. Maybe you need to try a shutter speed...

There you go, freaked me out the first time too. They do talk about this limitation in the manual. Lots of opinions on the viewfinder. I compare it to getting a new eye glass prescription  for the...

Most of the Panny primes don't have OIS, I think only the 45 2.8 macro does. For the street shooting I've done it has not been an issue. Most subjects move and no stabilization can stop that from...

I don't know b&W, but I do like the first pic. The second doesn't seem to lend itself to B&W for me.

There is no doubt the differences are there, and yes it affects 15-20% of the shots I take. Most of those shots are for the web and just for fun. For DR it seems to be about 1/2 stop better through...
