Here are the stages of thought I went through with the 45-175 pz 1. Hmm it's small and light and zooms out to 175. I dislike power zooms but I'll try the lens. 2. Wait a minute this lens is really ...

I just got myself an old E-PM1 for a pocket camera. I plan to use it like a P&S, hopefully it won't drive me crazy. You could do the same with a GF1, GF3, any of the smaller cameras. I would ...

Actually, on the Nikon forums there are a great many people complaining about the raised prices of new lenses. Overall though, the people who use the lenses as intended are still buying them and ...

There are a lot of professional photographers who have demanding clientele. For example thousands of wedding photographers Olympus needs to tempt from other brands. This lens is not for hobby ...

In general I agree, but it seems like being conservative you should be able to get around a thousand shots on 1 genuine battery? I have not discovered yet how to enable the battery-sip mode I've ...

The D750 has been out a while, so $1400 refurb is an option. In last month's promotion $2000 got you a D750 with a 24-120 f4 lens and grip.

I enjoy them both. In general, Nikon bodies have a little more bang for the buck. (Likewise Canon lenses). Back in 2011, Canon was still stuck in the 18mp crop sensor mode and Nikon had a clear ...

I have not, but I'll repeat the other advice to seek our the Panasonic 12-35. On the used market it's generally less expensive than the Olympus 12-40. I use it with my G85, every time I see the ...

Of all the "bang for your buck" lenses this is probably the king. I used to keep one in my car full time with a G2 for ad-hoc sports photos. Now that my Panasonic body has stabilization I bought ...

I think it's a good camera but two things makes it a non-starter for me. I have been interested in hearing about the 6D II with DPAF for a while now. I have an interest in video and stills an my ...

Robjan, give it some time. I have hated every new camera I've owned until I figured out the quirks. I switched to Micro 4/3 (again) from Nikon recently, it's like starting over. I even see noise ...

I was trying to decide on the same thing. I have the new 12-60 kit lens (not the Leica branded one). I've used it for around 1k shots now. I had two questions, #1 how good is the 12-60? And #2, is ...

Looking back at the GF1 and G2 photos, in certain light I think there was a different look. In sunlight I can't really see a difference. In warm light or golden light, I suppose there's a ...

They are sort of redundant. I have owned the 20 for a long time and it's my most used lens, because of the size, weight and quality ratio. It is pretty much unbeatable for versatility and compactness.

It seems like you're over-planning a bit, even using a phone as backup where you have a full kitted range. Personally, I like to keep it simple. I just returned from an Asia trip and I used ...

The only way to get comfortable with a new focal length is to use it.

A good summary, thanks. Should be essential reading before asking a question in here. It mirrors my experience which I can sum up pretty easily - - Once I stopped shooting action a DSLR camera ...

The Nikon 80-200 2.8 AF-D (2-ring version) is in my opinion such a good lens, I had a hard time letting go of Nikon just because I like it so much. In fact I will never sell it and I'm considering ...

These look pretty good to me. When I started with sports photos doing Tae Kwon Do indoors I used a manual focus 50mm 1.4. I think you're on the right track with the 135mm if it's getting the reach ...

If you can't take a good photo with the P900, it's not the fault of the camera. I would love to have one. Of course, it's not as good as a DSLR for some things, but it's definitely better for others. ...
