Come on, since when can't we just write heck? The whole idea is that it's a euphamism for hell. We're not 5 years old.
Aaron801: The way that I see it is that it's for a crowd that doesn't really exist. Folks seem to eathier want cheap and simple and this isn't cheap... or they'll spend the money on higher end gear and then learn how to use it.
Except there is also the crowd that will buy an enthusiast DSLR and just leave it on auto, and then wonder why their photos are hardly any better than before. This might suit them just fine.
Igor_Sorkin: Is it for FF sensors only?
A FF lens will work fine on a crop sensor. It's the other way around that problems arise.
NilsBV: A great action shot and a beautiful tight crop.
It shows that taking the picture is half of it. Knowing how to present that picture for maximum impact, which in this case means a great tight crop, is the other half of it and one that has given your picture enormous impact.

This is a beautiful picture but while I assume that the river curves around to the right in the distance it is not really visible.
Great to see such a good looking German Shorthaired Pointer star in a review.
I actually really like the composition of this shot, but the processing of it was not to my taste with those nasty halos.
Aroart: I realy wanted to love my em5m2 with 45mm 1.8, but I had a Fuji xe1 to compare it to and returned the Olympus within a week.. The Olympus did have a nice punchy contrast look, but the Fuji blew it away in low light and skin tones... Not hating on Olympus... I just think you get better results with a bigger sensor... I do think they have a great system and decent lenses for the price.....
How is that relevant to a PEN-F review, which has a different sensor?
Mike FL: This $499 Pana is more or less to compete with $299 Oly weather sealed 12-50mm.
The good thing about Olympus is that newer IBIS is better than OIS in this kind of zoom range.
It is your call/money.
The Pana is 10mm longer and has a faster aperture at the long end: f/5.6 vs 6.3. But that's not intended to take away from the valid points that daddyo and MikeFL have made. I suppose it's a matter of weighing up what's more important to you.
Jefftan: why not buy 14-140mm, similar weight and similar size, 10x zoom
2mm wider wide angle is handy. As is weather sealing. And you'd have to assume that a more limited zoom range, this 12-60mm will be optically superior to the 14-140mm.
NilsBV: Prices for those orphaned Sigma-mount lenses on eBay might suddenly go up, now that they are being given a new lease on life.
Oh well. Not that I really care, since I neither shoot E-mount nor have any SA-mount lenses.

Actually, scrap that. Sigma has just announced new SA-mount mirrorless cameras: http://photorumors.com/2016/02/23/new-sigma-sd-quattro-mirrorless-cameras-with-foveon-x3-sensor-and-sigma-sa-mount/
@MonoSynth, I have seen some high-quality SA-mount lenses on eBay, such as the 17-50mm f/2.8. Not many of course, but some of those quality lenses do exist, and to date have gone pretty cheap because nobody bought SA-mount cameras.

The specs of the 24-500 appear to be those of the 18-50.
ackebous: Very well done, love the motion in the center and no blur on the paint sticks
My guess is Photoshop, rather than physically spinning something. Still a cool look though.
Gorgeous.
Michael Leek: Why have so many photos that are clearly NOT lambs been allowed in this challenge? Surely this makes a mockery of the rules and the title!
Totally agree. One of the photos is even of a dog. How many of these stupid challenges did the host set up before they disappeared? And why are those unfinished challenges not automatically deleted once the host closes their account?
Too much repetition of the same challenge, over and over.
Do we really need the same challenge very week?
