  • Looks lovely. Feels good. Images from the OMD sensor are beautiful. Quite tempted.

    I hope they solved the laggy control dial problem of the OMD. This is the one thing which stopped me putting...

  • Commented on Nikon D7100 Hands-on Preview preview

    Ak pinxit, not all live view use involves holding the camera at arm's length while set to scene mode.

    I find live view essential for careful tripod work, especially at unusual angles.

    You're kidding me! : "Another frustration - and again, not a new one - is the lack of 'live' aperture control in live view and movie mode."

    How many more iterations must we wait until we get...

  • Walked into Jessops in Edinburgh with over a grand in pocket to purchase an OMD-EM5 kit. I only wanted to try it out and do a final check of a few things but essentially I was ready to buy...

  • Commented on Happy Holidays from dpreview news story

    Nollaig Chridheil!

  • An apple DSLR? Oh what a horrific thought.  It would only take hipstamatic style photos.  It would be bright white and take ten minutes to boot up.  And then when you wanted to take a photo, you'd...
  • I really thought this argument had been quashed, an immesuarable number of times.  If one takes a step back and looks at all the sensor sizes on offer from compact to full frame,  then 4/3 is so...
  • +1 for the most forward thinking reply I've seen on this site in ages.

  • Its not so much balance as size and weight. With my D7000 and either the 50/1.4 or 35/1.8 I feel a lot less noticable than with the Sigma 30/1.4 for example. Plus it just about fits into a large...

  • Well, I was always hoping someone would produce a lens of this spec for APS-C, as an upgrade to the Nikon 35/1.8. However, like the 30/1.4.. it's too big. I'm sure FF users will really enjoy it...

  • Interesting, especially given the size and nice handling. I was almost going to upgrade my LX3 to an LX7 but the olympus looks to have far nicer colours and a much better lens.

  • The card in question was also a Sandisk Extreme Pro, although as mentioned above, it was formatted using an LX3 which may be causing the problem. Although it sounds strange to me.. I will give...
  • Replied in Thanks
    Interesting, I will give it another go with a fresh card.  The one I was using was formatted on a Lumix LX3 just prior to trying it on the EM5.D
  • Created discussions EM5 sluggish response
    I just tried an EM5 - at last. It took Jessops days to charge up the display rack model's battery and they do not have any open boxes for demos. I was almost convinced into buying one. However,...
  • I get your problem, and since I tend to climb mountains and camp on the top for sunrise/sunset shots, I understand how the weight can be a problem.However, if you are at all interested in fine...
