Samsung already did that with the Galaxy cameras - it`d have been successful too if the things weren`t slower than molasses and took and age to do anything including boot - maybe they did it too...

Yeah the D7200 gives more resolution, twin card slots, battery grip etc .. Nikon goofed big time with the D7500 as a replacement , it should have been called the D6000...... What are Nikon up to ?...

""One feature that hasn't carried through to modern day 'G cameras' is the optical viewfinder"" ..

The G1X had it which is pretty modern - as of course all the predecessors - G5. G6, G7, G9 and...

Still think the A9 needed to be a tough chunky body design like the Panasonic GH series to make handling of those bulky lenses easier , disappointed they only marginally bulked it up over the A7

From what I remember , Nikon didn`t use CMOS until the arrival of the D2X - others such as Pentax etc also stuck with CCDs til later on because at the time that was all Sony made (or at least...

The only True Canon DSLR with a CCD was the 1D Mk1 - its 4mp chip was made by Panasonic ....... and Barney , I think you`ll find that the Nikon D1 predated the D30 (APS-C Sensor) , I seem to...

The shuffly AF of the 10D drove me nuts in all light (had one April 2003) , I found the D60 was slower but far more accurate, it was if they`d tuned the 10Ds AF to look fast on paper regardless to...

My GM5 has a couple now .. Panasonic seriously need to get their act together and seal their sensor units properly ........ the dust is behind the silent wave filter which is quite a distance in ...

Oh but they aren`t - the Optics are superb, and that`s where the money went ................... rather have that than a beautifully mechanically crafted, virtually indestructible lens with optics ...

Not in Digital, even the Canon 300D was metal but there were a large number of budget canon film bodies with plastic lens mounts - the EOS-300/500/3000/5000 series were typical and even back in ...

Yeah, Just goes to show that the diff in weight between mounts is virtually nothing .. Leaving the hotshoe cover off will probably make as much difference

14-42-IIs are plastic mount too - It`s one of the best kit lenses ever made Plastic mount is probably better for the 12-32 , the lens notorious for the zoom ring pulling off (my last 12-32 went one ...

it does replace the GF7/8 but it certainly does not replace the EVF equipped but tiny GM5

Ahh right, thanks, I was getting mixed up with the GX85 again ............. Why did`t Panasonic call it the "G8" ..

The Massive one is No Mic Socket ....... So unless you`re partial to using external Audio recorders, or are shooting silent movies, the G85 is a no go for Video centric work .............. Shame, ...

No , I`ve shot with it at really low Shutter speeds

I`ve no idea, in the years I`ve had the lens I`ve never used it for Video .  the Shock and jittering issues apparently affected the 40-150 F2.8 as well

The OIS is OK , it`s not Fuji or Canon by a long mark, not even Panasonic's best, but its OK ............... Until you stick it on a GX80 with the Dual IS , that really boosts things into another ...

From experience , The old 14-45 is a bit sharper at the edges at 14mm F3.5 but they`re the same at F5.6 - the 14-140-II is sharper at 45mm F5.6 .. The 14-140-II is the reason I continue to own ...

I`d ring and say "Take the money and send me a SALES receipt with todays date on" ...... thankfully my local LCE did me a kit off the shelf for £515 (and threw in a spare used genuine Panny battery ...
