4 years after 2014 purchase, remains a great camera. Not a good one, a great one, one for the ages. Pity it gets so little respect.
|
Excellent FF stills camera, excellent value, great backup camera for my Z. So-so video dings it 1/2 a star.

4 stars based on what it was when it was.

A terrific 4/3 camera. Among my favorite cameras.
|
One of my favorite cameras ever.
|
A marvelous camera, very quick.
|
|
|
|
|
Mostly a great camera, but for some shutter shock issues (real, but mostly a small problem), some handling and battery life, menu issues.
|
After a repair by Sigma, terrific lens, very sharp.
|
Very good value lens.
|
|
|
|
|
My favorite 4/3 lens.
|
Wow. Just wow.
|
Still an incredible value
|
|
|
|
|
A bit disappointing sharpness-wise. Only game in town at this speed, FOV/FL, and price, though.
|
Excellent value
|
Loved this lens in 4/3 mount.

Was outstanding on my A850---scary sharp.
