Never understood the fascination with extreme shallow DoF. Many pros will argue that Increased DoF at wide aperture is actually more desirable than not. Nice shot, if anything arguably the DoF is ...

Another way to look at it, this person cut his/her kit size and cost by half, yet maintained image IQ!  Was improving IQ this person's objective?

If you want to compare bokey, you need to crop the 75mm images to the same field of view.

I am not disagreeing, but in Olympus' thinking, the EM 10 is the entry level camera, followed by the EM 5 and then EM 1, so I used the term in that sense. Yikes, that hurts! For what it's worth, ...

For me, #3 is the best, I really like it. P.s. does your model smile sometimes?

And you've given it a rating of 2 because?

Lack of lenses?  With virtually hundreds of amazing legacy lenses available that are compatible, one can hardly argue that there is a lack of lenses, especially if landscape photography is the goal!

Says who? Probably a reasonable assumption, then why not the EM 5 Mk II ? Don't see why the cost of the 5.2 would drop because a new "inferior" model comes out. Is price all that is holding you ...

Which one would that be? I use the OM Zuiko 50mm Auto Macro : 3.5 and it is pretty outstanding.

But that would be acknowledging Pentax's better IQ!

The OM-10 Mk1 is a 35mm film camera, so any new digital OM-D camera will do 😊. I am certain you meant OM-D EM10 rather, but I don't see any significant image improvement short of that new EM1 Mk2.

No, it's a manfrotto plate design problem!

Binoculars is all about compromise. I chose the Pentax 9x32 DCF BC over many more expensive, brighter, sharper ones as the best compromise between lightness, brightness, quality, and price ...

"Dark Ages"... that put me in the Pleistocene times still shooting my K10D :-). I will not pre-order. I wouldn't for any camera, no matter how fantastic, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Unless you look at the RAW pre-corrected-distortion images and use the same aspect ratio cropping  you're comparing apples to oranges IMO, so what's the point of all these calculations?

This is not a case of blowned highlight (i.e. colors are obliterated to pure white), but simply a high contrast situation, and I think the camera handled it extremely well actually. The bright ...

50mm Auto Macro/3.5 mostly (very sharp); 24/2.8 occasionally, 135/3.5 rarely, 200/4 rarely.

I always thought that  recommended FL for portraits were between 85mm - 135mm. I personally tend to gravitate around 105mm, and 150mm equivalent FOV would be on the very long side for me.   There ...

Good point. Different tools for different purposes.  If all I want is to capture a moment, then the smart phone is perhaps more appropriate. If I want to photograph as an art form, then it's a ...

In the digital world, Black, a color RBG Value of 0,0,0 or White, a color RGB Value of 255,255,255 must be recorded before it can be rendered. Bob... did you actually read what I wrote? My ...
