Years ago, I thought I was a pretty savvy tech guy. That is until I tried to update my new m.Zuiko 40-150/2.8's fiirmware. I too failed to wait long enough but -- in my own defense -- the user was ...

This is probably the coolest post I've ever read on this forum.  Thanks! Marc

@Caldwell, This will strike many as muddled thinking, but I quite *like* my GMs' sensors just the way they are. I typically shoot 10 jpegs for every raw image I produce, and I really can find no ...

This was exactly my experience too! I loved the size of the OMs' bodies (& especially that of the half-frame "Pen" ILC designs) but -- ye gods! -- the execution of Maitani's inspirations were all...

You're a programmer -- that's great. I mean it. (Apparently using a computer "with the hood welded shut" doesn't personally annoy you. It would me, but then I'm into hardware.) I don't know what ...

Sigh.  Panasonic uses the Leica name "Summilux" -- not "Summicron" -- and in neither case is the new Panasonic lens a true Leica lens in any respect whatsoever.  PLEASE DON'T PROMULGATE this ...

Okay.  I'll bite.  Why in the world would you presume that someone who evidently has some technical savvy would own an Apple product, for god's sake? Marc

I have SIX Olympus EP-5 cameras, all purchased new in 2014 or 2015.  According to my records, three had less than 30 total shutter activations, two had 169 & 179 respectively, and one had 1,498. My ...

I have personally drawn away from digital photography over the last five years or so. I became hypersensitive to the marketing-speak of camera manufacturers -- which really hasn't changed in 100+ ...

This is very very useful to me.  Thanks! Marc

This is exactly right.  And thanks to another DPReview member, we know for sure that the base of the Oly E-M5lll is made of the cheapest grade of plastic attainable.  Consider that fact in ...

Nah.  I was just grousing about the styling of the body.  I retract my comment in the interest of comity. Marc

This is the best exposition of the problem -- and possible solutions -- I have read about the E-M5III's design deficit that I have read to date. I had been seriously interested in the camera as ...

I don't think I've ever read a posting with which I more thoroughly agree. Thank you. I never bought a Pen-F because of all its metitricious "features" -- but I assuredly would if one were to ...

This is an excellent summary. These data are completely worthless. Come on, people. It doesn't do any good to speculate about the presence (or absence) of self-report bias, nor its direction (that ...

You are correct (and everybody else is wrong). The current paradigm of huge, plastic, butt-ugly cameras -- equipped as they are with relatively tiny sensors -- is contemptible.  (As, of course, is ...

Don't hesitate!  I have three GXR's and use 'em all constantly.  They're better than the CL! Marc
