I used to have a Canon 5D II and a bunch of Canon lenses.  It took fabulous pictures.  I traded in my Canon stuff and bought a Panasonic Lumix G5 with a bunch of Panasonic and Olympus lenses.  It...

A Question:

The G6 uses the same sensor as the G5 and the GH2, right? Panasonic's press release says "the new Venus Engine is attains high-performance signal processing with the advanced noise...

I don't really understand what everyone is so excited about. I used to own Canon FF. I sold it b/c I like MFT weight and portability. Both formats take great pictures, each has advantages. DOF...

I was just told by my State Farm agent (in NC) that they cannot renew my policy on photo equipment.  He didn't explain why. I'm considering joining PPA (Professional Photographers of America)......

Thanks a lot for the helpful input... I expect I'll eventually get an Olympus body for the IBIS.  Corkcampbell wrote:

thanks.... beautiful picture

Really good points... thanks. I actually do video, Adobe Premiere editing, etc., esp. for my job. BUT my first love is still photography.  And you are right. There is something lovely about a wide...

Thanks a lot (and thanks everyone else too)I sent out the question originally b/c I thought I could end up feeling the way you do. Although I can hand hold pretty well. I'm really tempted but I...

thanks

Thanks for providing the pix.... nice photos and helps illustrate what this lens can do.

just to be sure i understand correctly, by "absolutely not" you are saying that the 75's lack of IS is not a problem or issue for you at all.I hadn't heard anything about shutter shock as related...

Thanks everyone for the helpful responses... it helped me mull over my decision. I think I should be fine using it at 1/150th of a second. Of course that may mean higher ISOs, but I get very good...

Not difficult for me to swallow at all!  I bought an OMD, brought it home, just didn't feel comfortable with its user interface. I really wanted to like it.... I used to have an OM-1 and OM2n and...

Thanks a lot Marco.  I will definitely hold off on the GH3 until I can try it in a store. The viewfinder is hugely important to me... which is why I bought a G5 instead of an OMD.

How much do you like the GH3 viewfinder overall? One of the things I like most about my G5 is it has a nice large viewfinder. I assume the same is true for the GH3?

I have a Panasonic G5 which is fabulous. I also love my Olympus 45mm 1.8 lens. I'm tempted to buy the Olympus 75mm lens after reading its great reviews, but I'm on the fence. I'm thinking that at...

I have a G5 and the Olympus 12 2.0, Lumix 25 1.4, and Olympus 45mm 1.8.  They are all great, especially the 25 and 45 which are both unbelievably good. Oh and I also have the Lumix 45-150mm which...
