The big difference between DSLR and mirrorless is that DSLR has separate PDAF sensors that require adjustment to be accurate. Whereas mirrorless cameras have the PDAF sensor pixels built into the ...

For me, the main attraction of the G85 over the GX85, is the fully articulated LCD, and the more ergonomic centre viewfinder.

I don't think that is true. Those cameras have 1'' sensors, smaller than 4/3. So they would not work well on M4/3 cameras. Also, the lenses on those cameras are designed for a shorter register ...

I'm using the Nikon D7200, and wouldn't buy the D500 because it is just too expensive for my taste. But I think the main reasons why people buy the D500 are: * Ruggedness. In this aspect, I would ...

I'm happy to see that the lenses are f/2.8-4. Making a constant aperture zoom in these ranges is only going to satisfy traditionalists who think a constant aperture is better. By allowing the ...

Lumix 20mm f/1.7 : Ultra compact, fast aperture, good image quality http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2009/12/lumix-g-20mm-f17-pancake.html Samyang/Rokinon 7.5mm f/3.5 fisheye: Very good performance at ...

The 10-100mm is probably the better lens. But if size is one important reason for your choice of system anyway, then the 10-30mm PD can be interesting. In my opinion, the 10-30mm PD is a fine lens. ...

I have the camera and both lenses. I have used them under water in salt water many times, no problem. I also keep the camera in my bicycle bag always, in case I need a camera while biking. So it ...

I have used the D3300 a lot too, and I think it is a good camera, good value for money. AF could have been better, and the image buffer is really thin, but otherwise, the images are great! http://n ...

Sadly, this is not possible with Lumix cameras. They don't show the focal length. I also haven't found a way to display the focal length used on images while in playback mode. The only way, as far ...

If you buy the lens for M4/3 format, yes. But I would never buy a lens designed for fullframe DSLR with M4/3 mount. It is much better to buy it in a common DSLR mount, e.g., Nikon F, and then use ...

The Samyang 14mm f/2.8 (or T/31, same optical design) makes sense when used on a DSLR camera, especially fullframe. 14mm is a very wide lens on fullframe. However, when used on M4/3, it becomes a ...

I have the same thing for my GM1, and I use it all the time. A review, and a comparison with the original grip here: http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2014/10/third-party-grip-for-gm1-lb-gm1.html The ...

Most likely, this is due to the limited read-out speed of the sensor, which is about 1/80s. A small sideways movement during the exposure is enough to produce slight geometric differences between a ...

Yes, it is great! I mostly use it in three ways: 300mm + 1.4 TC on DX (630mm f/5.6) 300mm on CX (810mm f/4) 300mm + 1.4 TC on CX (1130mm f/5.6) When used on CX, the autofocus is not very good, but ...

I can't say. I haven't used the 100-400mm lens, and I don't expect to use it. If I want a compact long lens, I will use the CX 70-300mm, or the PF300, with or without 1.4x TC. If size doesn't ...

The Lumix X 35-100mm f/2.8 is very, very good from 35mm to about 70mm, but in the longest end, I find it to be quite disappointing. That is too bad, as I was planning to use it mostly at 100mm. See ...

No, I haven't used it yet, beyond just picking it up in a store. I would guess that it is on par with the 14-140mm II, 14-42mm II, 12-32mm in terms of image quality, which is to say very good. ...

I don't think that Photozone reviews are so relevant to how I think about lenses: He seems to put a high emphasis on the lens body materials: A metal outer body is good, according to Photozone. I ...

I haven't used the two most recent M4/3 long lenses, but I have used some long Nikon lenses recently: Nikon PF 300mm with and without the 1.4x teleconverter on DX and CX sensor. This gives focal ...
