Thanks! The LX100 is a bit smaller than the E-M5 II by itself. It’s thicker, due to the lens, but much shorter and a little less wide. So, add the 12-35 to the Olympus, and it’s ~2x the size of the ...

As a former LX100 owner, I agree - I found the variable aspect ratio to be great in practice when I had it, and I regularly changed the aspect ratio during a session, if not shot to shot ...

Sounds like the Canon G5 X is the closest to what you’re looking for. Lens is a little shy (100mm at the longest), but I don’t believe there’s anything else close.

My first impression was that it looked too suspiciously like the official LX100 pictures that I’ve seen at retailers’ sites, with just a restyled grip, top plate text changes, and relabeled ...

Yep, the LX100 has a leaf shutter. In fact, it was one of the reasons I decided to go with it over the GM5 (which I could have used with my Micro Four Thirds lenses). The 1/2,000th flash sync ...

LOL, fair enough! Can’t argue that there’s any real point to it, other than a bit of a mental exercise. Always interesting to me seeing how realistic mine and other people’s wish lists are, and how ...

What I’d like to keep: (1) Physical aperture, shutter, and exposure comp dials (2) EVF (3) Near same size & weight; wouldn’t mind a little ...

These announcement dates are usually locked in months in advance (especially when press coordination is involved),, so not sure they could have done anything about it once Nikon’s and DJI’s ...

It’s a great lens, and you’ll likely be really happy with it. I borrowed one for a day from a fellow attendee at a workshop last year, and really liked the results. The up close (not quite macro) ...

I had a dark-image-on-the-LCD issue with mine also - well, it wasn’t an LCD issue, it was a video signal issue, since it affected the EVF as well. A cable connection was loose, and a good thwack ...

Ah, thanks; hadn't noticed the EXIF data in that one. So it's definitely good for at least 1 stop. Canon is touting 4 stop stabilization, so it should be theoretically handholdable at full zoom at ...

I'm thinking more - how slow a shutter speed is usable? For example, with my E-M5 II with the 12-35 2.8 (which looks like it weighs about 2x the G1X III) I can get sharp handheld results at a 1/2 ...

How do you find the image stabilization? Thanks!

Good stuff; I really like the photo of the Burj Khalifa, and in the airport.

That's some great work!

Ouch!

I forgot one other minus: the flare. It does, and while it's not the ugliest flare, it's not the easiest to correct. I don't have the lens hood, but I remember from prior experience that it's ...

Several years ago, I had a copy of the Olympus 9-18mm f/4-5.6, but never really got on with it. I just didn't know how to make interesting shots at wider angles. So once I bought the Panasonic ...

To be clear - the 15mm isn't slow by any means. It's one of the faster focusing lenses for the system. If you never tried the 17mm, you wouldn't even notice.

Yeah, it's little annoying that Olympus doesn't enable the aperture ring, but it's still my favorite lens with my E-M5 mark II. I love the way it renders images, and it's really quite sharp. I had ...
