Probably a hefty cost saving...
I wouldn't call the optical viewfinder an advantage, personally.

I couldn't imagine EVER choosing a camera based on a DxO score!

The red flag for me was reading that you were using "Tv" mode. It's not really a good idea unless you are very aware of what the camera is doing. When in that mode in lowering light, the camera ...

Well said!

Very close!  Mine is a 1987 110 2.5 diesel, also not a Defender.  Ex Singapore military but now a hard top. I recently got a second hand Panasonic 25/1.7.  It is vastly better than common wisdom ...

Your sarcasm is not only unhelpful, but shows a level of hypocrisy because it puts people off gaining from the experience of forum users and contributes nothing. Now you go right ahead and make...

Please stop being silly. There are two possible types of softness here, assuming focus isn't affected. There is a lens softness which happens when elements move from optimum positions to...

Keep your hair on, BadScience! (Appropriate name, too.) If you look at the first comment here, you'll see surlezi wanted something to automatically turn off the IBIS system when using a tripod. ...

E3, EP1, EM1 - all fine on a tripod. I've tested them.

Thanks for the review. Seriously, though, saying it's not so good for landscape or studio photographers is a bit harsh. It looks like it would be great for either. After all, it does have PLENTY...

If it's anything like the Olympus system, there's no need to worry. It doesn't do that compensating dance you see with lens-based systems (I've had a few of those Olympus bodies, by the way).

It's a strange choice. The 85/1.8 with speed booster is giving a field of view etc. closer to using the Olympus 75/1.8. Shouldn't that be the choice? Either way, the Panasonic or the Olympus is ...

As always, there are some arguments in these comments from people who are defending or plugging a type of camera they like (in this case, DSLRs v. so-called "mirrorless"). It's a silly way to look...

If you have money to invest, there are probably better places than investigating in camera companies right now! If you actually want to buy a camera to use, you will get better value for money if...

NicoPPC - if you actually took my advice, you'd see that one lens is absolutely, in no way, the norm for a Canon SLR lens. Right there, you proved my point.

The jury met and decided T3 easily won this argument! Just walk into a shop, spend some time looking at all the m4/3 lenses (and Leica lenses if they have them), then walk over and look at all the...

JensR, sorry, not worth discussing such things with someone who is showing some bias in his/her posts!

I held off from the FZ1000 for exactly that reason. Then I went through my bird photo collection and realised the really good photos from my DSLRs/m43rds cameras were taken at equivalent focal...

I was genuinely surprised to see the FZ1000 top this list. Which is strange, because I bought one a few months ago after considering all these options (and waiting for no-show Nikon)!

I now...

Thanks but, dull as my life is, it's not quite dull enough to worry about something as unexciting as that!
