EX1 still delivers
3

I left my Panny gear at home yesterday morning and went for a walk with the little EX1. The sense of freedom was palpable, and I found the smaller camera much easier to use to shoot small items like flowers. When I got home, I was reminded just how good that Schneider Kreuznach lens is.

I firmly believe that the EX1 and EX2 series...

...did not get the respect they deserved and were often overlooked by the mainstream reviewing community. I don't have the EX1, but I do have the EX2F, and what a delightful little tank it is. And I just love the colors. The only gripe that I have is that occasionally, it will tend to overexpose severely, leaving me scratchin' me noggin as to why that occurred. But when it nails it, it really nails it (which is most of the time).

As an aside, I just recently (like within the past month or two) rediscovered the NX Mini, featuring a larger 1" sensor. What a delight that camera has become. I'm still getting my feet wet with that model, but the substantially increased DR headroom (with that larger sensor - yet compact body) really opens your eyes.  I'll report on that later because many of these previously underrated cameras have come into their own.

I always wanted to try a Mini ben. I look forward to your report.
