I would have loved it if oly has brought this, i used olympus canon nikon minolta and now for last 5 years olympus and i am not that eager to get another brand. I got my E3 setup, because of the...

No not trolling, i still prefer Oly over Nikon, but what nikon shows is that it is possible to make a 15m dunkable 2m dropable ilc.... Which brings me to the point, that oly has a great tough cam...

interesting cam, give it a bit more reach and evf and it is a very sensible tough compact travel camera for desert and tropical rainforest (or your typical european winter) usage. Would love a bit...

A matrix panorama mode or at least the option that you can stitch horizontal or vertical, preferably both as a matrix can be very handy and not only for those real wide panorama's but for things...

not completely sure but somewhere in my mind rings a bell that there is some sticky patch inside which collects dust, maybe this does not stick anymore, though my e3 does not seem to have that...

you can extend this to those who chose FT over FF, it is the same reason, also the reason i am going to get a em1 instead of my E3, and i still hope for a weather sealed 14-150 (better 12-130) as...

afaik i have only read something about a maximum number of converters things like you can not stack m43>43 + EC14 + EC20 + EX25.  But never seen a report confirming nor denying this. I can live...

Lovely shots, :-) The nice thing with using a relative big tele for me definitely is that you are not toooo close to comfort to the insects though using an extension tube does give you a very...

it is just in time for under the too expensive christmas tree, so it wil sell, but i realy do not see the point since it is not that much smaller as a PS anyhow. what might work, making a small ps...

The 14-150 PanaLeica is still on my short list too, only issue i have the thing is unfortunately not environmental sealed like the 12-60 but with 28-300 you do get a nice holiday lens. To boot it...

had the same dilema, since then, now i only use a protective and still hq filter in realy harsh conditions (windy, sandy, salty etc), using a lens hood or filter ring without filter helps against...

it is a contraint, purpose build for m43 should be more compact, otoh there is plenty of pretty 43 glass and the only thing they have to do is make an integrated 43 to m43 adapter looking as one...

At this moment if you want to go for reliable and tough i would either get a 12-50+OMD and either get the old 50-200+converter or a used E3/E5 with the 12-60/50-200swd combination. Using SWD on a...

probably you have a lemon, but you can also google on xz-2 menu shutter actuations, i know there is some hidden menu where you can see if it has shot some pictures, if it was used the counter...

i am using a generic charger with an extra usb 500ma out and it does a nice job charging 2 batteries at the same time, one in the charger and on the usb.

I have chosen evf because we are now getting to a level where they are getting so good that the benefits like zoom and nightmodes are justifying the evf over the still better optical ovf in my...

I am an amateur, but i can only agree, lots of people forget that what a camera makes it a "pro" is not the camera at all it is the photographer holding the camera. And i know lots of them use non...

Well they are in bed with sony now, so take an old Konika-Minolta A2 housing and lens (that one was not bad, the slow sensor electronics where the culprit ok and the misfocusing from time to time),...

wish they made a kind of bridge camera 24-200ish xz-2 quality but as splash proof as a om-d/e-5 would be utlimate travel camera, i guess.

Yes please sony also has lots of coverage regarding great bridge camera's and compacts and sonys aquisition of konica-minolta should deliver also... Sony is also a lot more acomplished if we start...
