That, I can believe. There was nothing redeeming about the Pany 45-200, other than its price. But at $1, it was still too expensive for what you got. I'm pretty sure I gave that lens away.

The longer the lens, the better a job OIS does. With dual IS even slightly better, if you can match a supporting camera to a supporting lens of the same brand. Wide lenses do better with IBIS, and ...

What?!? Yikes! What happened?

Regardless of the limitations, kudos to Nikon for a beautiful kit, in a smaller package.

I do like IBIS, but it's not a deal killer.

The lack of lenses is probably a bigger concern. We'll see...

OK, other than the lack of IBIS (and I guess the lack of lenses), this is the first camera from Nikon in a long time that has my attention.

Smaller. Lighter. Good styling. Good feature set.

Looks...

Sure, for serious photographers, serious bodies make a lot of sense. The D500 is superb. The Canon 5D is brilliantly good. Hassy H is a great system. (I haven't used an EM1X, but I'm sure it's ...

Whatever. I was one of the people lugging a Canon around. I'm sure your Nikon kit didn't have any of those issues, so you're probably fine.

Same. I started with the original G1 kit. At the time, everyone was still buying Canon APSC DSLRs with like 5 stops (total) of grainy DR and the long dark chunnel for the viewfinder, with their one ...

The GX9 is, on paper, the better camera. Great shutter, built-in flash, smaller size, updated electronics, great IBIS, great dual IS, and so on. The GX8 is, for a small number of people, a ...

Nope. Never seen one. Seems to be a fine camera, but more in the E1 segment where I'm more in the Pen segment.

Underrated comment. 90%+ of DSLR owners will probably never buy another camera, since their DSLR was a kit-lens "shelf ware" purchase from a big box store 5-10 years ago, and their cell phone has ...

It does seem to be a great lens. I already had the Kowa and the Voigt, so even though I could have gotten a steal on the Pleica 12mm, I was afraid it wouldn't get used much ...

Close!

This is my experience as well. The 1.4x is as good as any tele-converter that I've used, and the 2.0x is good, but you do lose a bit of detail. I still use the 2.0x, since the narrower FOV more ...

Sony keeps making things that makes people into fans. Maybe if Oly and Pany did more of that, m43 would have more fans? Just sayin' ... 😉 p.s. When the original EM5 came out (amazing camera for ...

I'm only replying to this because it's a brilliant message that we all need to read over and over again. We are all so spoiled with cameras and lenses and other gear that is at least 100x more ...

Yes, but can the GFX100s beat my iPhone? 🤣

There's another way to imagine the difference: Shooting with a 20mp m43 sensor and a 300mm f4 lens is nearly identical to shooting with an 80mp 35mm sensor and a 300mm f4 lens and then cropping ...

While my numbers are a bit out-of-date, the overwhelming majority of the Canon and Nikon sales a year ago were still APS-C DSLRs, with very few follow-up lens purchases. In other words, $350-500 ...

I have been back and forth a few times on this, and the reason that I switched fully to e-shutter was that I found evidence of a small amount of shutter shock in a high percentage of shots taken ...
