"The guy reading the paper is 80mm tall (about 3 inches)."
Does he have a camera in his pocket?

When I grew they were thongs, now here in USA, it's women's under pants, sort of. I got handkerchiefs & lens cleaners that are bigger. Also called butt floss.Hmmmm, strange alright, here in Oz we catch the train like normal folks.Our local passenger trains here in Wellington are called a "Unit" go figure, LOL.
Strange world we live in and especially us Kiwi'sSo many people a day catch the units
Similar I guess to flip-flops as footwear, often called jandals in NZ but are always named thongs here in Oz, the girls often also wear thongs but not on their feet. Context is all important.

Merry Christmas, glad the fire didn't make you a crispy critter.

Yes, LGB too good to go under so they are still alive and kicking and releasing new stuff. Not sure who owns them now (went through a few ownership changes) but all has been quiet and reliable for them for a while now.

Yes, Oz is much the same now, government ruled by lobbyists, people at large get no say.
You may drive on the right side of the road but we drive on the correct side of the road. Takes more skill anyway to drive upside down.
Have a good Christmas !

The lens means more work, fiddling to get images.
With the carriage I can let it do the work as it clickety-clacks past while I sit back and ingest a few beers.

Good come back, did you think that up yourself? LOL

The grip will allow you to fend off kangaroos and not lose the camera grip
Shutter is silent. Not animal scare away racket of your PL5
With the 40-150 attached, the PL5 shakes the image. The E-M1 holds it steady like a rock
The built in VF4 feels like a glass OVF
The IQ is better than the PL5
The IS is much better than thePL5
Feels like a pro camera
Weather treated
Uses m4/3 and 4/3 lenses
You can put the E-M1 on a cargo G train and the grip will hold it without tipping

I use a wrist strap, kangaroos are frightened of me anyway. It's the drop bears that are the worry.....
The E-PL5/E-M1 is just like any other focal plane shutter, if I want noiseless I use the LX3.
Ha, I use the Pana 45-150mm and get a beautiful stabilised preview without needing to half press.
The real scene is even better looking over the camera and then framing via the LCD.
Nah, about the same.
I use a tripod or bean bag when needed and that beats the pants off 5 axis stabilisation, try 20 seconds hand-held vs 20 seconds tripod and see who wins.
What does that matter? A camera is a camera is camera. It's what you get used to. I want small, the E-PL5 does that nicely. I don't even like the size of the E-P3 so that writes off the E-P5 as far as I'm concerned, any way I like the better button layout of the E-PL5 (same as E-PL3 and E-PL6) to any of the others.
I own an umbrella.
Ditto, but those darn 4/3 lenses are so heavy and cumbersome, I'm just waiting until the used prices go up a bit more due to E-M1 demand and then I'll have spare cash (11-22mm, 14-54mm, 50mm macro all can go, keep 35mm macro forever though for slide copy work) - makes money to buy more railway carriages.
Blue Tack or elastic bands work for me, anyway I usually send the LX3 on the train when I've done that sort of thing. An HD spy pen does a good enough job as well, easier to fit those somewhere on the train.
Small upright style of video cameras are the best fit, maybe I'll get a cheapy just for that later when I have trackway down to run on.
Quite frankly I'm happy with the E-PLx line and see no need or desire to go E-M1, I just do not use viewfinders any more so they are a waste of space and money for me.

So then it becomes drop bear. Did you ever have one drop on you?Koalas are not very bright so that one was trying to climb what it thought was a tree, and that is why it sat like a stunned mullet because the tree ran away.
They fight back if cornered and annoyed but that was clearly a tree climbing effort. It has to climb a tree so as to be able to drop on people.

Ithink they taste like pork. Same as people. Common practice in that part of the world, I am told.

Watch out for this: "a Chicago BEAR drives a JEEP," don't get in his way as you're driving!Not so far.So then it becomes drop bear.

Koalas get noisy at night and have never heard any in the bushland behind my house, but have been heard in other parts of my suburb. More common away from "civilisation" where there's less dogs and cats and more trees of the right type.
Have seen only a few funnel web spiders in my 72 years, seen a few deadly snakes (the major concern) in my yard, never been near a wild crocodile (not to be smiled at) and I keep out of the water as those box jellyfish and sharks are not so nice.
The most likely cause of my future death is not the wildlife but being bored to death by the lousy TV programs or being tied to the tracks of my garden railway.
Regards...... Guy (pause now while I drive to my daughter's place)
