  • Commented on Olympus PEN E-P5 Review preview

    The problem is that DPR is funded by Nikon and Canon (why else do you think Canon and Nikon reviews appear mere days after the cameras come out).

    Now that Olympus has a camera that beats the IQ of...

  • Commented on Olympus PEN E-P5 Review preview

    Bogus. I use my PEN cameras in combination with a 40-150mm because this fits in my jacket breast pocket when in the mountains. An OM-D with the same lens does not fit, because of the added...

  • Commented on Olympus PEN E-P5 Review preview

    I've noticed it when I attach a non-Olympus lens to the camera and forget to enter the correct focal length.

    When the lens is configured correctly I've never ever seen this issue on any of my PENs.

  • Commented on Olympus PEN E-P5 Review preview

    I get this kind of double-blurring when I attach a non-Olympus lens and configure the wrong focal length for the IS.

    Never seen it using an Olympus or even Panasonic lens though. I took hundreds...

  • Based on the sample images this lens is incredibly soft between 100 and 200mm. This really doesn't look any better than a cheap Nikkon 55-200mm.

  • E-M1 doesn't suffer from oil all over the sensor, doesn't have lousy AF.

  • Relative to what? Only Leica offers a mirrorless system with a larger sensor than the Fuji.

  • @yabokkie: "no matter who makes the lens how much does it worth if it can have similar resolution and aberrations as say Canon 135/2L?"

    These arguments are garbage. If the Oly 75mm f/1.8 and Canon...

  • meh to your list.

    1) Leica, Zeiss
    2) Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony, Fuji, etc.. etc..
    3) Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, etc.. etc..

  • Silver and black? I sense a retro body coming soon.

  • The 16-50 f/2.8 is a terrible lens, and for some reason Tokina's best lens the 11-16mm f/2.8 is missing from the lineup. The 50-135mm is stellar though.

  • Commented on Canon EOS 70D Hands-on Preview preview

    Canon's business model is to sell crippled Rebel cameras that look good on paper but once you use them you want to upgrade.

    All of their recent line-up (Rebel, 70D, 6D) are intentionally crippled...

  • Commented on Canon EOS 70D Hands-on Preview preview

    It's been a while since Canon has made a decent 'photo' camera, but for video they have been doing great and this camera looks to have some of the best video AF on the market.

    Still it doesn't...

  • @yabokkie: most pro photographers seems perfectly happy with a full frame body with f/2.8 zoom. This gives them the flexibility of not needing to swap lenses.

    The slew of micro four thirds lenses...

  • "why pay $700 or $1,000 for a camera when you can get a DSLR kit for far less?"

    Apart from looking like a dork (because people walking around with DSLRs look like dorks)... a cheap DSLR with...

  • Olympus is doing just fine, targeting serious photographers rather than brainless consumers.

    From all the full frame and APS-C cameras I've used and owned, the OM-D and PEN E-P5 are absolutely...

  • Commented on Canon EOS 70D Hands-on Preview preview

    @yabokkie: on a similar note McDonalds continues to serve millions upon millions of crappy hamburgers and people buy them.

    Enjoy your garbage Rebel with 18-xxx f/3.5-5.6 kit lens anchored around...

  • Commented on Canon EOS 70D Hands-on Preview preview

    Intriguing since those Pentax cameras have the exact same Sony sensor as the Nikon D7000.

  • Commented on Canon EOS 70D Hands-on Preview preview

    @grumpycat: the Fuji X-E1 and X-M1 are just the equivalents of Canon Rebels wrapped in a nice-looking but awfully low quality plastic shell.

    Why you would invest in that plastic garbage over a...

  • Canon is even worse at this game than Nikon. Not a single EF-S prime, and just a bunch of terrible 3.5-5.6 zooms.
