The 16MP sensor shows remarkable advantages in dynamic range (almost 2 f-stops !) and roughly 1 f-stop improvement in high-ISO noise. And of course higher resolution. Pretty damn significant in my...

I own the OM-D (and PL25) and am considering adding the X20 for reasons similar to your own.  All comparative impressions are appreciated.

Seems like a nice place, and you convey an atmosphere with the images.  But.... where's the coffee? :)

For m43, I first got the 45mm, and then the OMD with the 12-50 kit zoom. Which is OK, but dog slow, so I felt that I needed something wider than the 45mm, and faster than the zoom, for indoors...

And another question - all your flickr shots are downsized and or cropped. Unless I'm missing something. Are there hidden full size images, and if so, could you please tell me how to access them?

The eye-point of the x20 viewfinder is 15mm.However - I tested the x10 today in anticipation of the x20 for exactly this reason, and I found that I had no problems seeing the entire viewfinder with...

The feature of the Program mode that you have discovered is usually called "Program shift". And it is very convenient. Has been around since at least the start of film Canon EOS days, roughly 30...

Not only did I enjoy your shots for their own sake, they also nicely showcased some of the abilities of the X20, a camera which interests me greatly.And the pictures made me want to go to Japan...

Thank you very much for uploading full size samples. Much appreciated, as is your comments regarding actual use, as well as your comparisons to closely associated cameras.Personally, I find the...

Those are the phase-detect sensors. They lie beneath (some) green pixels.

Personally, I would have loved to see the Panasonic 25mm f1.4 thrown into the mix, in spite of the differences in focal length. (By the same token, the panasonic 14mm f2.5 would have been...

The CA is distressingly evident, not only in the more classical problem areas, but even in the bark-on-ground shots.Distortion is heavy, and the distortion correction may be why the edges and...

I switched to the Olympus OMD EM-5. Gives me the very similar results pictorially, but at roughly one third to half the weight. Nice build quality with a magnesium body and weather seals.Drawback...

I think you over interpret a statement that was mostly about the 12mm.He says that doing a 75mm f1.8 that covers one fourth the image circle area of the 35mm frame is easy. At the price of the...

What? No camera or lens info? Sacrilege! Nice shots though. Almost makes one accept the coming darkness. Almost.

This assumes software, codecs, debugging and support is for free.Your point of no extra hardware still stands, but I feel you are taking it way too far.

And that is just too much for a 34mm (equivalent) lens covering a fourth of the image circle of full-frame with a modest max aperture of f1.8. IMHO, of course.I'll sit around waiting for someone...

Well, anyone who values high ISO capabilities, both in terms of noise and dynamic range (where it beats the OMD), or values colour accuracy/DR, or for that matter simply appreciates a wealth of...

This was very well put. Thanks.The EM-5 is not quite on par with my "old" Canon EOS 5D. But close enough. Add IBIS and size advantages, and I really can't regret shifting systems.

The concept of hyperfocal distance does not imply that you need DOF marks on the lens. Only that you can set the lens to be prefocussed at a certain distance. It's those DOF markings that are...
