They got smart with the PEN line, I think. Those are simply not cameras for people frequenting forums like this one (predominantly men with heavy leaning towards gear geekery). See this for what I ...

Not really. Panasonic prices dropping very soon after release is pretty much the norm for them. In Germany, the 50-200 received a discount before you could even buy one. So I would not look too ...

One of the surprising benefits of autofocus on the Olympus 8mm fish-eye, is that I could actually play around with extreme close-ups. I never really did much of that with my Samyang, as it was a ...

Well, whatever it is, it seems they are really confident it will put them on the radar again. I mean, they are so quiet that from the outside it really looks like they are slipping into obscurity. ...

In the meantime, E-M10 line has received Nikon treatment with feature and cost cuts. The efforts to make it easier to use and thus have a better mass market appeal are nice and all, but this line ...

What's the point of E-M5 with a big grip? There's E-M1 if you want that.

Do what works for you. It's really that simple. I also choose which corrections to apply based on circumstances. For example, I will remove vignette on landscape and astro shots, but I will often ...

No idea about the specific 10 blades thing, but my only sunstar capable lens is fully AF. I really doubt that AF/MF has anything to do with sunstars. It's more likely that nice sunstars is rarely a ...

Olympus hasn't hinted at anything. Let's try not to take rumours from randos on the internet as official Olympus statements. And contrary to what most seem to believe regarding this mystery camera, ...

Same here. But it doesn't mean I would not like to see that. In fact, I would not mind picking up such a camera. It would be even better if Olympus decided to differentiate their camera lineup a ...

Yeah, most of us expected E-M5 III, but it seems nothing like that is coming on Photokina. If rumors are true, we will get another 2000 EUR camera next year. No idea what Olympus plans to compete ...

At this level it really doesn't matter. If you have a chance, go to a store to check out how it handles and pick the one you like better. If not, then just buy the one that's cheaper and is easier ...

I see the reality distortion field is strong with this one.

Dual kit GX85 comes to mind as another good value budget option. It's smaller and its two kit zooms cover the 12-100 mm range instead of 14-150 mm. Costs similar to Oly kit, but I guess that also ...

I agree in general. If one wants to go into a system that will incorporate ones growth, one will want to choose a system that is either mature already or actually evolves and grows with time. ...

I would not spend more than lunch money on the 16-50. It's just not a good lens and will prevent you from getting all the image quality that camera is capable of. The Sigma, on the other hand is ...

He's probably thinking of 30mm F1.4 DC DN | C which is made specifically for mirrorless cameras (Sony E-mount and Micro 4/3)

My advice is go for a cheaper camera and use the money on the lens. Because that's what will really make a difference. For example, here where I live, D500 body only costs about 300 EUR more than ...

@pannumon, JordanDrake

On current firmware version, with Pro Capture High (AF locked) at 60fps there is zero perceptible disruption to the live view. If not for the icon that tells you that it's...

Really, really nice cityscape. Not a fan of the plastered on Milky Way, though. It just looks... weird.
