My rear dial works intermittently. I put up with it but when it first happened it really confused me because the new Oly's are basically computers with a lens on it. Thought I had set something up ...

The pixel 3 has a serious colour cast to it (see white fence post). Easy to force the EM1 to do the same by forcing the white balance off.

Flames move, so slow shutter speed = blurry flames. Slower shutter speed. Faster shutter speed.

Fire moves. Best to shoot something still (like a log). In that case, either camera will work fine.

The 14-150 is letting more light in at the same exposure settings. I adjusted the images in Capture One and got them nearly indistiguishable. There are slight colour differences (the colour ...

It makes me wonder if the m4/3rds lens is designed to lower noise.

It's in the exif (max aperture). The 14-150 is on the right.

Are the 'pro' m4/3rds lenses as good in terms of colour and contrast as the old Zuikos?

The exif is in the image. They are shot at identical settings. The histogram (also displayed) says they are not overexposed.

m4/3rds Zuiko vs 4/3rds Zuiko. 14-150 f4-5.6 consumer lens vs 50-200 f2.8-3.5 medium quality Zuiko (it was not a 'top pro' lens) at 150mm and f5.6. This was interesting to me because I remember Oly ...

It's more than that. They used 'equivalency' of focal length while ignoring equivalency in aperture to claim an advantage that didn't exist. They are now very careful to say 'equivalent focal...

This is the best thing about the flippy screen ... the ability to protect the screen in all situations where you don't need it, especially when carrying the camera on a strap. And once you know ...

Yes, because the exposure setting will move those settings (A,S, ISO) to change exposure. If they are manually locked, it can't change them.

The CCD didn't have a live view feature, only CMOS.

Dude, I'm right there with you. I hit the gym for hard weights and do between 8 to 12 hours of tennis a week for cardio and coordination.

Sounds like a graceful way to get older. Unfortunately, as old as I am (57) I am embarking on a new 'career'. Talk to you again in 6 months or so and I will let you know how things are going. In ...

Hey Ben, good to 'see' you. I stopped habitually visiting DPReview about that time. I drop by from time to time but as I'm contemplating a new camera, I've come by to see what issues may abound. Th ...

Your brag brag friend was overly concerned with reputation and not technique. The shutter on the E1 is damped and it is totally possible to get sharp images at extremely low shutter speeds 1/2 ...

I found that with the E1, my overall photo compositions tended to be better because I could take in the entire shot without looking around. With bigger viewfinders, I saw more detail (better for ...
