Bought an E-PL5 with the 17/1.8 and VF2 in February this year *doh* I paid $1,430 which I would pay today for the E-P5 with the same lens (in black!!) and the VF4... Too bad but I really don't want...

I read so many complaints here about testing, articles, phrases used... et cetera. Hey, this website is absolutely free and not too spammy with commercials and also in my eyes quite objective.

DPR...

Thanks. You might be right. I got the EP-L 5 which is pretty new... maybe I am lucky and it can support better viewfinders in the near future.
Anyways... the Olympus VF2 is actually not too bad. I...

Is it likely that I - one day - can get a new view finder for my Oly Pen with that module and it fits into my hot shoe? I don't see any issues with that...? Would be great!

I used the old x100 for almost 2 years and traded it in for a Oly E-PL5 with a 17/1.8 lens and EV2. I am more than happy with this choice. Now you look for a replacement for the x100s which is a...

No idea if there is anything in the pipeline but this gap you mention is very obvious and 25mm is almost a must have in a camera producer's lineup. A small and all metal 25/1.8 or even 1.4 would be...

I have both, the Pana 14 and the Oly 17/1.8 and can say the Oly is by far the better lens. Sharper in the corners and less CA but considering the cost for the Pana I'd get both. They are in...

If you don't know a reason then don't buy one. There is no must buy obligation for any lens.I just like the FOV but that is everyone's decision to be made. Live the super quick AF of the new 17/1.8

Roberto, That is quite an impressive comparison. I have this lens since a few weeks and am happy with it considering the price of only $185 off ebay. My problem is a bit the low corner sharpness...

I cannot hear this anymore... Why do we all have to decide for one system? If I want to use m4/3, APSC and FF at the same time to be it. Why do I have to stick with only one system? I have an...

With a f2.0 lens and below $1k this would be a great camera. No other APSC camera is so small. I would get one... Sad that they went with only 2.8

Got the Sigma on my 5DII since it was released about 2 years ago. Great lens and I see it on par with my 35L and 50L... well to be honest it is a bit better even wide open. It fringes a bit on...

If speed is your main concern try the OLY 17/1.8. This is super fast and faster than my 5d2 and 60D with L lenses.Also keep your Canon gear for a longer time and use both in parallel. I would...

You can activate guide lines in the viewfinder/lcd to indicate roughly where the 3:2 format ents. Unfortunately those guide lines are not exactly available for 3:2 but 16:9 so you have only an...

For many photography as hobby is more about the gear than the actual images is my impression. A camera is for many just a status symbol and every new model makes the own gear suddenly worthless and...

Keep your APSC system at least in parts. I am using full frame and m4/3 in parallel and both have their strengths and weaknesses.I used to own the 60D as well and you might miss the optical VF some...

Go for the X100s. I had the X100 and sold it for a Oly E-PL5 PLUS 17MM F1.8They all have the same FOV as 35mm equivalent and for me the Oly is the better camera as I wanted a better AF and...

If DOF is of concern for you get fast primes. A 2.8 zoom is good enough for low light but if you want to play with the DOF it's not enough imo. I have written a small article about this recently...

At some point there will be 'less $2k cameras. If there is a demand (and there is) then there will be a supply. Maybe not the next 2 years but at some point...
Fuji is jumping into this gap to some...

Got an E-PL5 plus 17/45 1.8 kit a few weeks ago and am very happy with the results.I have just written a small article about u4/3 vs full frame format on my blog. I was asking myself if I could be...
