And I bet Oly made a few bucks on every one of them.

I would not be so sure of that. Those mirrorless camera bodies are REALLY cheap to make, especially viewfinderless models. These are basically cheap point and shoots (like just discontinued Oly...

You mean "depreciation", right? From the title I thought you are not happy that bodies are becoming smaller... It is a 2.5 y/o camera with 5 y/o sensor, what do you expect? ??? It is $1000, and...

Oly;s TruePic VI (same one in OM-D/E-PL5/E-PM2) was just as bad as pana Venus in E-P3/E-PL3/E-PM2. "It's the sensor, stupid".

A little more than that. 1) 7D - 2009 2) T2i/550D - 2010 3) 60D - 2010 4) t3i/600D - 2011 5) t4i/650D - 2012 - added PDAF pixels which are supposed to work but don't 6) EOS M - 2012 7) t5i/700D -...

Really? How about 1. The whole bunch of 14-42 from both Pana and Oly. 2. 40-150 vs 45-150, 45-175, 45-200. 3. 75-300 vs 100-300 4. 9-18 vs 7-14 (well, at least some difference, but clear...

I fully understand the value of tilting and even fully articulated (over just tilting) rear display (be it LCD or OLED, although I guess it should be Mirasol for low power consumption and good...

We are not talking about advertizement, we are talking about rumors about specifications - and the GH2 sensor is indeed specified as 18 mpix. What is wrong? Low real resolution (400kpix or so)...

What do you mean? This: "And from what I read from the patent It could have an anti-alias filter and a new resolution EVF (close to 2 Mio)."? Sound like gibberish, and anyway, patents don't spell...

I like these more in color, the rest are wonderful in sepia! Thanks for sharing! Too bad you have EXIFs removed, there is always something to learn.

Actually, small sensor is the way to go for macro, easy 1:5.5 on 1/2.3" P&S is like 1:1 on FF or 1:2 on m43. Many also accept macro attachments.

I don't understand for whom the tilt-up EVF would have ANY value - a person with neck brace and arthritic back wishing to shoot the sky? This...

I do. I remember GX1 with 14-42 PZ was priced at $950 in our local store, and suspect this one will be priced similarly or higher. Only, if it has EVF, it will probably NOT be GX2,...

Why would I vote for a brand vs a better product?

NEX-7 is infinitely better camera than, say, Leica M9, so this styled camera will also be better.

It is a Sony sensor, they went with higher total price for them to make their top-of-the line $1300 body only GH3 at least on par with only every Oly competitor (basically, they had no choice,...

Why? They have done it before. And 18 mpix sounds suspiciously like GH2. Why not at least 20 (for marketing reasons and at least it would make SMALL difference, vs practically NO difference between...

Not all, Pana does not have it in 7-14/4, 14/2.5, 20/1.7 and 25/1.4. And it IS needed - 1) 28mm eq at f/4 needs IS a lot in lower light - even f/2.5 too. 2) 40-50 mm eq. will need it too even with...
