As usual, the m4/3 haters hv come out to bash the new E-M1 with the same old tired & irrelevant comparisons with FF cams. I see it as a compliment that some folks r so jealously flinging mud at the...

Yesss... I see this asa serious threat to Canon & Nikon, challenging them to finally re-think their reluctance of not wanting to seriously go down the APS-C and FF mirrorless route. The EOS M and...

I find it really amusing how many people adopt "the sky is falling" doom & gloom vision of things. The same (laughable) arguments about how m4/3 is doomed to failure applies across to board to all...

Thanks, I stand corrected about the LED feature, and the wireless flash was mentioned but I did not mean to say that you omitted it. Given these highly unusual & advanced features, I can't help but...

Yes bbfolgart, and it is only a photographer who has actually used a Nikon 1 camera who can then truly appreciate it for it's excellent photographic qualities. Non-users who snipe it and deride it...

@Manuel, it's ok, folks who shoot down any camera brand or format will always be the same - they are blind, and are in love with photography for equipment sake, and not for the art. It always makes...

Nikon has a fantastic feature set & image processing engine in the Nikon 1 system. For what it is, it has fantastic focus speed that is still class-leading in the ILC world (with on-sensor PDAF),...

It's funny how Oly blames their under-performance on a delayed launch of the EP-5, but chooses to ignore the ridiculous high price it launched it at, i.e. more expensive than the OM-D E-M5. And now...

I have the Olympus TG-2 & am amazed that DPreview omitted a v impt feature it has over all the other cameras, & perhaps any other camera in the world: an ultra macro mode that is unbelievable. It...

The most important unknown at the moment is the IQ of the lens, although I'm sure the price is going to be too high for many. But it is what it is, i.e. a Leica design, f/1.2 lens. If the price is...

This is frankly almost too good to be true, in that it offers ultra wide angle at one end, and ultra tele at the other end. Really wonder if the lens ends up making too much of a compromise at the...

This is not a rear-element focusing lens and remains the same as the old 20mm f/1.7 (i.e. front-element focusing). It's sad they did not take the trouble to improve on that aspect from the old...

If you have enough light, AF is really great & I can't live without it... However, try focusing in very dim lighting using AF, in conditions where you need the f/0.95 aperture, & you will greatly...

I own the 17.5mm f/0.95 lens & I can say without reservation that it is sharp even at f/0.95. Photos may appear a little "soft" to many, but that's not the same thing as lens sharpness. Also, the...

I have used the Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 on my O-MD for a year now & I can say that it is an astounding lens! It is sharp even at f/0.95. Many complain about the lack of v shallow depth of field at...

The PENs are quite pocketable with the pancake lenses, including the Panny G X Vario 14-42mm pancake zoom lens. This lens is often overlooked and forgotten, and whilst the IQ may not be stellar, it...

I fully agree with lampoch and micahmedia that the Panny 14mm f/2.5 lens is excellent. I was so afraid to buy it after reading so many negative comments earlier in its history that I nearly...

Agree that Oly & Panny rarely duplicate their higher-end lenses, which is why I pointed out that these are their HG & SHG lenses catering more to the pro & semi-pro segment, esp. the f/2 & other...

It's a pity they are struggling, but the writing's been on the wall for sometime now viz. compact cams. They've done very well & should focus on higher-end cameras, such as their XZ-series, Tough...

No big deal, whatever the MSRP may be, I'm not in the market for the E-P5, but I may be in the market for the successor to the E-M5. However, if the pricing for this new E-P5 is an indication of...
