The evf in the LF1 is quite low resolution.Probably not real useful for manual focusing. Nice idea though, integrated nicely without excessive bulge.Certainly the way of the future. rd

The idea behind "legacy lenses" is that you already have them, for years gathering dust. That is, unless you are too young to have ever shot film, in which case go raid Dad's or Grandpa's sock...

I like what I see here but it is ruled out for me by the very disappointing battery life.
C'mon designers, there's a group of compact camera enthusiasts out here that are not quite as swayed by the...

In the past I have preferred to patronize the physical store fronts for various reasons.I have purchased a Nikon and some accessories/supplies over the years before Wolf closed.There's still a...

Note that a recent thread with the same or similar title devolved very quickly and was deleted.Just too much jockeying for position, ... just sayin' ... That said, I recently obtained a GX1 and it...

So all the most important factors are those which require the proper reaction from the viewer, (attention/response, interesting, and pleasing).The least important is the technical proficiency of...

Likeability and pleasing are traits inherent in the observer, "Eye of the beholder". Does this mean that an image can be good or even great but only to a limited viewership ?

Guitar players will say this about their favourite guitar.It really means a lot to "become one with your instrument" Long gone are my days of hauling big heavy primes and a large body only to...

There's no accounting for taste.A good photo is simply that which has proper exposure, focus and composition of the subject so as to adequately convey the intent of making the shot. A WOW! photo is...

I have the 14-45, 14, and 20mm's.I think the 20 fits in well as the normal lens in the kit.You'll like it and find lots of use. "I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but...

Thanks all for the explanation !As I also do some occasional night exposures. I too was baffled by this behaviour on my GX1, I believe the LX5 has a similar routine. Curious that the camera's...

Thanks for posting the crop, Guy.Curious how much the sharpening was needed ?Or is that normal part of your PP ? regards,rd

Like you, I have moved up from an LX5 to the GX1. I recently added the 45-150, small and light are important factors for me.So far it seems to fit my needs for a mid-tele zoom. regards,rd

Hey guys, I may have an older copy of the 20mm, but it seems that mine does indeed focus and/or stop down slower. The difference is not subtle, it seems like an order of magnitude compared with the...

Overkill, I'd say.
Twin generators ?
Does the trucks engine and electrical system not have enough capacity to power the lighting system ?

I don't know ... Maybe this is the difference between a scientific method and a philosophical approach. "Find your own path, Grasshopper". ;-> rd

I think I understand what he is getting at, that advice from a 'pro' to a beginner or advancing amateur may not always lead down the shortest path. rd

This is not English (or American) class.It's an international forum that, despite being based in the English language, has a large portion of members that may not be "English first language". Much...

Too little, too late I think.
Same sensor as a few of it's rivals, and disappointing battery life.
What's it gonna take to get back up above 400 shots in a compact ?

What I hope for is that the GX2 and E-P5 are introduced at the same time.Then I can go crazy comparing the two, trying to decide if I keep my GX1 !rd
