Hype deficiency?

I own both systems, so I get a double dose. When will I wise up, and stop wasting my time on these forums?!

The Peak Design Everyday Backpack 30L, or the Wandrd Prvke 31L could probably do the trick, but they're both a bit out of your price range. If you're carrying thousands of dollars of equipment ...

And a source of enormous insecurity, apparently.

You can buy a capable MFT body for under $1k US. The GH5s is a professional video camera so I'm don't see how the comparison is apt.

Captured analog, transferred to digital - you get to argue in ALL the forums. Have fun!

Why do people persist in comparing the most expensive MFT bodies with the cheapest FF bodies?

I think the term "Oly" has been around for a long time, pre-digital. My guess is "Panny" emerged when they teamed up with Olympus, as an endearing reference to their partnership.

This is an important lens, if it's as good as the 28-105 then I'll be happy. I wish Ricoh would consider a 16-35/4 as well, I have no desire to shoot the Milky Way.

I recently walked the "streets" of LA with a Pen-F, and the Panasonic 15/1.7 and Olympus 25/1.8 lenses, and it felt like the perfect street kit. There was once instance where I wanted a longer ...

Can photography exist without bokeh?

I'm a Pentax user as well, so I can settle for either Bigfoot or Elvis ;)

The Pen-F is already really good at its intended mission, and until there's a better m43 sensor out I think it's mostly fine as is. It's the EM5 that really needs a mk3 version, IMO, as m43 is ...

This forum needs more photographers, and fewer marketing experts.

Just about any camera with a mechanical shutter can have vibration issues, but it's more noticeable with hi-rez cameras like the K-1 or Nikon D850. Electronic shutters are getting better, ...

No, I only use electronic shutter on a tripod. My handheld shots are mostly very sharp with the D-FA 28-105, but I have had rare instances of noticeable shutter shock. It hasn't happened often ...

My wish list for the GR4: 1. That someday there will be one.

I also suspect shutter shock, I see it occasionally with this lens at that shutter speed. Since you're shooting from a tripod, switch to live-view and use electronic shutter, your images should be much

It sounds like we have different ideas on how to mix photography and travel. You are concerned about keeping the weight down, consider the 12mp LX100 to have inadequate image quality, and want to ...

Shame on me and my superficial values: I love my Pen-F ;)
