Mark 2 (original,  as one poster noted) last WAY longer then mk1 batteries do.  They are bigger, and the camera seems more efficient as well. That's my feeling - and a very pleasant surprise it was :)

Just develop a "system" to serially charge them. I'd be amazed if you got through more than 3 batteries in a day. Still, they are light to carry so 4 isn't much trouble and very cheap compared to ...

Probably 3?  4 would be tons and better to have batteries you didn't need than need batteries you don't have :). Keep them warm inside the vest, rotate them every so often. . Enjoy the trip :)

Great shots mate. I have mucked around with the Art Filters a bit. DId you know you can delete all but your favourite filters and then "Art Filter bracket", making one image with each filter for ...

In Aus it was $1199 for the first year or two, but $899-ish was common over the last 2 years, at least here. Nothing to do with the f4 lens at all.  Price came down years before that was even rumoured.

I've wondered that often. Cameras too heavy to take out? They secretly like what we use better? Time _I_ spend in full marketing forums? Less than a minute a year. I'm happy they like their stuff ...

I've switched over, the original EM-5 was beaut but some things were missing. The EM-1s are capable cameras - a one stop DOF or DR is barely perceptible - unless obsessively pixel peeping. Not ...

People carry more than cameras, food, drink, phones, wallet, maybe an extra jacket when a mile plus away from the car. Weight saving is useful - ask any trekker. Frank's right, lugging camera gear ...

Have a look at results. That 25, is a great lens, it gives EXACTLY the same shutter speed due to its 1,2 as a CaNikSon lens does - equivalence ONLY takes into account the ONE aspect of lens ...

Rolling shutter effect? Not sure if I see it in this image. It is a great picture, by the way :) RS is better in the mk-2 than the mk-1. "Better" does not mean "perfect" and RS is not a "fault" so ...

Apologies if 20,000 people have posted this before .. THIS is what _I_ would do I am considering that lens - *with this modification*. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51786560 KUDOS to Anders W :)

Not sure if this has been said. There's a clear caveat, you do have to ensure the IS can compensate for the movement If the sensor can't move enough, you're snookered. Sorry If this has already ...

To sell? No problem at all - in the real world. As this article writer and several others have observed: VERY few customers actually even notice - even when told! Gearheads notice sometimes as they ...

Well deserved sir.  All are appealing, but the silhouette with the catch is extraordinary!

The so-called march for science has so far been poorly attended worldwide, with various ideological groups crowding out scientists.  The usual violent rent-a-crowd turns up. I've read of several ...

Bonza pics, mate - thanks for posting :)

I've attached 5MP versions which themselves are fairly detail rich, below. Gallery link to full res pics is at bottom of this post - enjoy! You weren't using this spot, were you, dad? The joys of ...

This mode uses more than 50 Megasamples (MP). From what I have read (8x20MP to be precise), giving 160 megasamples with some overlapping data. 50 MP of *actual* subject resolution is only ...

True . . Let's say we start with 20MP,  it must have FOUR times as many pixels AND the lens has to be twice as sharp to survive a 50% crop unscathed. That combination doesn't exist anywhere that I ...

First off that new Sony IS a tour de force - in SOME ways. 700 Af points? NO deal at all - to careful shooters. We often use ONE focus point, or a tight cross to get focus exactly right. A machine ...
