it's worth noting that there are many in camera actions that can affect the focusing speed and accuracy and consequently you can never have a level playing field to compare. I have been using the ...

It's a brand new ship on delivery day to it's home base after sea trials, so a bit early to see action and hopefully it never will.

and I was standing on a wall trying to balance.  Balance is something that seems to be deserting me as I grow older.    The wonders of Dual IS2.

nice bird, good captures

just thought this might be of interest, HMS Queen Elizabeth, arrived in Portsmouth, its home port for the first time yesterday. This was taken in the fading light yesterday with G80 and 100-400, ...

I gave up the 14-42 when I got the 14-140.  I can't see any time where the 14-42 would have an advantage.

Thanks for the response.  It makes an interesting read.

Thanks for the plug Richard. Listen to what he said don't cross BIF off the list, just get a G80.

I think the 100-400 may be overkill and a bit limiting because at times from trackside you will be able to go shorter.   On the other hand, I like using the long end for the greater telephoto ...

Awesome, the galleries are overwhelming.  How was the experience of shooting with four different camera models and how did the focusing success vary?

It's brilliant in the UK

I note that in that article the D500 BIFs examples are Herons and Kites, not exactly challenging subjects.  When he moves up to a G80 he will be able to take birds that actually move like these.  ;-)

I'm not sure we do magnification in m4/3s because we don't have any datum.  I suppo0se 400mm is 16 given that 25mm equates to 50mm in a 35mm camera.

You guys are very hot on the sensor spots, yes it is, I've now got rid of it.  Problem is they will be back.  Every Panasonic camera I've had has the problem.  In camera cleaning is hopeless ...

I see only one or two Hummingbird Hawk Moths a year but they have to be my favourite subjects.  In my garden yesterday.  He hung around for a few minutes to get some shots with the G80 and ...

Well that should help sell a few more EM1-2s

great set, I'd love to see the Faroes (when the sun is shining)

I assume that you are talki8ng video.  Ex tele conv is still a useful tool for stills.

It's the Panasonic curse.  The sole biggest reason for me  to ever move to Oly is that their onboard sensor cleaner works and Panasonic's doesn't.
