@danart: "Now you might cry price" – what? This thread was opened with a post that said "all looks good... till you see the price and see what the competition offers" – this thread is specifically...

"The mark III has two UHS-II slots, not one" – so every source on the net, every review and even the specs Olympus themselves have published on their several websites are wrong?

@Revenant: I agree. Also, the advantages of a top LCD could be obvious if someone wasn't expressly intent on denying them. Back when I started photography, the most important settings of my camera...

Someone from within Olympus was reported to say, if I remember correctly, they wouldn't have the processing power that would be necessary for a sufficiently good performance with that sensor. Which...

As soon you've set up your camera to your liking, which is something you have to do once (and in the worst case, with a camera that's completely new for you, a few more times until you really have...

Big question is, are they known or unknown unknwowns?

Very enlightening to see a handful of right-wing nuts bickering about which of their individual forms and degrees of inhumanity, directed against all human beings except those few whom they somehow...

I won't engage in further discussion here, I have nothing to add or remove. Just need to clear one thing up as it seems – I wasn't criticizing NHS. Far from it. Read what you reply to.

So she wants her underlings to "showcase life under the lockdown and tell stories of how the inhabitants of the UK were affected" – does that include how people die?

I'd suggest a huge board with...

What the overwiew doesn't show is that most lenses for today's full-frame *mirrorless* cameras are, and some substantially, bigger and heavier than *SLR* lenses used to be before in-lens AF came up...

Plus DSLRs and mirrorless cameras with telezooms, even if they'd only go up to 500mm (eq.) or so.

@Brian P Smith – true!

@Makingtrax: Doesn't even need to be FF. It would be similarly easy to carry a MFT camera with a compact, portable 300mm or 400mm zoom, even if you would be sacrificing a...

The major question still remains, which is whether a crop from an image with a decent 'real' 500mm telephoto lens on a camera with a 'real' sensor would not be at least as good as this. Now I've...

@tassienick – yes indeed, that's "absolutely true", as if there would be even one individual here who would deny it, and just as absolutely irrelevant for anything at all, especially for the...

@tassienick: 'Nifty' never meant 'cheap', nowhere. It means 'very good'. Yes, it rhymes with 'fifty' – but already in the analog days it was never used for a medium-format 50mm, for a 110 format...

@Flow Friday, @tassienick: now please help me here, how would a 50mm on 1/2.33", or on large format, still be 'nifty' in the same sense that a FF 50mm is? (Oh and by the way, '50mm' is not even...

@Flow Friday: would that include 1/2.33" sensor cameras and large-format cameras, too?

Very nice. I wonder what keeps them from offering those lenses for MFT, too.

"I've got some nice Russian rf silver lenses 50mm 2 i think are 'sonnars'" – yes, like the Jupiter-8 from which millions have been made and still float around so that they keep selling for a few...

@MySimplePhotosToday: "the more pure form of a main Linux OS is Ubuntu with Gnome" – I would have agreed as long as Gnome was still Gnome 2. With Gnome 3, I cannot even find the desktop metaphor...
