I think you'll love Italy. It's been one of my favorite destinations. I will steer your away from taking too much. I think you'll be fine with the 12-35mm, that's probably the only lens I'd take....

Just some comments thrown in here and there. Although people here may say otherwise, I don't think you'll find your photos are any different as far as sharpness etc. Primes can change how you shoot...

I don't quite get it. You have two of the best zooms for m43s already. You want primes, but you haven't articulated why. Do you just feel the need for more gear? It doesn't seem to be size with the...

You have this in order so you could of placed this anywhere. After the 75mm or before the 17mm f2.8. You make it sound like the everything from this point on can't take a good photo. The only lens...

Long exposure or something? Although getting the moon that bright... Not the type of photography I normally do. Anyway, how do you know this was done in camera? do you have a link to the original...

I the camera a lot of the commenters want is probably impossible. I don't think you should shave a centimeter off the GR, maybe a couple millimeters, but that's all it would take. One problem with...

I don't own either system, but I've done a lot of research, so take it for what's it worth. Yes, there is a difference in the transition area between the 100mm and 75mm sizes.  I was looking into...

Going to agree with everything Wallybipster said. The 12-50 is the way to go

I switched a little over a year ago to Lightroom. This was mainly when I took my printing class, so I've gotten better at LR than I was at Aperture. So it's not really an even comparison. I still...

I agree with Bob here. You think you are zooming all the way in, but in reality you aren't. You are still dealing with a low resolution JPG. Put it on the computer and you'll see things differently.

My sources here suggest we won't see a successor to the E-M5 until next year. I'd probably buy it now if you want it, or you will likely be waiting a long time.

Sorry Plastek, gotta disagree with you. I had the GRD2 and the UI was the best of any compact camera I've ever used and beat some of the larger cameras too. I'm not sure about their compacts. It's...

I also use it and like it. I'm not sure what all the complaining was about. It's not the best lens ever with this angle of view, but the images I get through it are great. The prints look wonderful...

Not exact, but similar. Think of it this way, a 300mm f6.7 on m43s is like putting a 300mm on your FF camera, but cropping the final image so that the view is the same as it would have been with a...

Not that I've seen. Unfortunately they didn't have enough interest during the pre-order period to make one for the E-M5 with the grip. I'd email them and tell them you are interested. Even if they...

Glad to hear your camera survived and is working well. Nothing so dramatic has happened to mine, but it's been out in the rain for a couple hours on several occasions and in drizzle for hours and...

Nothing wrong with Panasonic's 20 or 25mm lenses. The Sigma 19mm and 30mm are both pretty good. I'd like to see a smaller 25mm, f2 or something and in particular a 25mm macro. Doesn't have to be...

I didn't realize that. That's kind of a pain in the ass.  Have you grabbed those lens hoods that flare in, rather than out. They advertise them for the 14mm and 20mm in particular but they don't...

What type of logic is that? The OMD is just as it was. The GH3 is getting less expensive. Maybe you mean that GH3 is looking like a better value because the price as dropped? What is it with the...
