Well, I was a little late to the party, so thanks anyway for the post.

As others have written here, the LF1 and LX7 each win in different features; but the LF1 wins overall in the areas that matter most to me.   I've been waiting a while for a compact with EVF,...

I agree, but I'd try getting a third party charger, as I have for some of my other cameras.  I have the LF1 on preorder, and I'll be keeping it, with the assumption that an external charger will be...

Well, I'm 70 now and I've been using the EM-5 for a year now.  And I don't remember that last time I even looked at my D5000.  Oh yeah, I remember, when I pushed it deeper into the shelf to make...

I agree, also coming from an XZ-1.  Good video without the focus hunting of the XZ-1 would seal the deal for me.

Yeah, this is the best for me.  But I use an XZ-1 (about the same size as LX7) in a Tamrac 5691 case attached with mini carabiners to a shoulder strap.  Very accessible, no bouncing around, and...

I would like an OVF for all the reasons discussed already.  But "like" would turn to "love" if I could turn use only the OVF, turn off the display screen, and extend battery life.  Does anyone know...

I came to the EM-5 from a Nikon D5000, similar to your experience at school with the D3000.  In comparison, I found the Oly menus a little confusing.  But if you're tech savvy, that would be more...

I got an Oly MMF-2 adaptor used, like new, for $85.  New is close to $145.  Third party adaptors are a lot cheaper, but I like original equipment.  That's irrational, I know, but can't help...

Many of us have gone the DSLR to MFT route, and speaking for myself, it was a good move for reasons of size/weight and equivalent IQ.  That was a year ago, and I have no regrets at all.  I even had...

I had the 7-14, but sold it for the smaller/lighter 9-18 with filter options.  It was a struggle to give up the 7 mm on the short end, because it does make a big difference, especially if you like...

I gave that a lot of thought before I bought into the Oly system. You can put Pany lenses on an Oly body and still have IS, but there's no IS with Oly lenses on a Pany body.  So, it seems to me...

Can you shoot with this camera handheld or do you always need a good tripod?

Take the S95 and the RX100, and take your wife out for nice meals and drinks as well.  You can afford it. Shoot the S95 and the RX100 together under the same conditions, and compare them when you...

What, Neurad isn't taking the OMD to Ireland?  I thought he was.  It can't be any more treacherous than Mongolia where I took mine last year.  Or maybe it is.  I don't know.  But if there are...

Olympus has image stabilization built into the body, not the lens; and Panasonic has stabilization built into the lens and not the body.  So, in terms of stabilization, Pana lenses would work on...

I came from a D90 to D5000 to EM5 plus EPL-5.  Muscle ache and too much bulk in the luggage were the main reasons.  The viewfinder on the EM5 keeps me coming back to it; but the lighter/smaller...

Uh oh, you just proved your wife's case. Dave

Wish I hadn't read this.  That gnawing "gotta have" feeling has started once again. Dave

I've had the OMD plus a bunch of Oly lenses for about a year now.  And I just got an EPL-5 as a backup, for sure, but also to "permanently" carry the 7-19 mm so I won't have to change lenses.  I...
