Most people have to live within a set budget…The GFX 100s is the pinnacle of image quality but it is also 6 grand…That is a big chunk of change for a body…and really hard for many to justify…Hey if...

With a small investment of $100 - $200 or so one can buy DXO Pure RAW or Topaz Denoise A.I. and get nearly noise free images on m43 through to ISO 6400 and low noise images out to 25,600 ISO…

The...

For you “a large clean image always trumps everything else”…but for perhaps the writer, many others and myself…image quality might sit behind features, handling, weight, size and price…Everyone has...

I don’t know why people think it is so hard to get great background blur with M43 and F4…I can get all the background blur I could possibly ever want with my 12-100 F4 lens…All I do is zoom to...

Great points here…We have to remember that not everyone wants to lug a tonne of photographic equipment on a trip that is for enjoyment…Very few of us are pro National Geographic photographers and...

I think (please people correct me if I am wrong) that the Galapagos is unique in this regard as the animals are not really afraid of humans there and you can get really close to the...

I have to pinch myself to make sure I haven’t entered the Twilight Zone…A professional digital camera reviewer or writer chooses an m43 camera over the mighty FF…This just can’t be…Well it is...

You need to know that a 24-240 super zoom lens is a completely different lens with a completely different use case to a 16-50 (35mm EQV) lens.

Your comparison would be like “why would anyone buy...

I would say these are pretty fantastic photos…Great work for your first outing with a fish eye. I have the 8mm f1.8 Pro Fish Eye lens from Olympus and although it is not my most used lens I would ...

What does HiRes native support mean? Aren’t HiRes files just standard RAW ORF files? Bring your camera everywhere, as you never know what the world will give you.

Can I ask if you are a Sony Full Frame shooter why you are in this forum criticizing someone who was just doing a nice thing by taking the time to run a simple experiment to see how well our small ...

Stunning photos here...with lovely colours and great sharpness...Thanks for sharing...

Re: DXO PureRAW and Topaz Denise AI...Are these what people using now? I can’t speak for everyone...but for me, these new AI based software have been game changers...I can shoot ISO 1600 and get ...

I shoot landscape, street, and the occasional macro and I find carrying two batteries (one in the camera and one spare) has covered me 100% of the time. I have found that some of the computational ...

RE: Is the EM1.2 fast enough to use for Hand Held Focus Bracketing... Short Answer: YES...Done... Long Answer: With modern software you do not need to be perfectly still and have perfect alignment ...

In my experience the focus bracketing on Olympus cameras is pretty fast... Remember with modern software you do not need to keep the camera perfectly still for static focus stacked macros...You ...

You want to focus on the element that is closest to the lens (that you want in focus)...The camera will works its way back focusing on elements further away from the camera....

For flowers and other relatively static subjects I shoot handheld all the time for focus stacking (Olympus - in camera focus stacked...plus you get all the separate raws)...The camera does a ...

I hate to break it to you but I wouldn't trust a zoom demo you saw on a smartphone TV commercial from any smartphone manufacturer...I would bet that in real life that the zoom in of a lizard that...
