What is the problem with larger file sizes? Honestly?
Given todays secondary storage speeds and sizes, what does it matter if your image is 12 or 50 megapixels?
My problem is time. Time to even...

Wouldn’t know if affluent retired bird photographers is growth market. After your post, I called a 62 year old friend of mine who has been an avid birder her entire life, and asked her if ...

Short term, that could pay off. Basically, that’s where the entire industry is moving. But it also raises the barrier to entry and lowers overall volume. It’s a peeing your pants to keep warm ...

Well "ibis, weather sealing, durability and attempt to focus on wildlife/outdoor photographers " makes a fair bit of sense, and actually benefits a wider range of photographers. It all comes down ...

Though to be honest, this is a problem for the camera industry as a whole. Overwhelmingly, camera buyers these days are upgraders, not first time buyers, and the threshhold for entry is increasing ...

@starbase218 You're quite right. My father does his banking on an iPad that is more up to date. (In all honesty, his hearing kind of makes using the phone more awkward for calls than using FaceTime...

I don't shoot such lenses these days. My longest m43 lens currently is 150mm (300mm equivalent) and I haven't noticed that being enough to make the IBIS of my cameras run out of range. I guess ...

I know. I'm sorry, I just had a bit of fun at your expense. However, I didn't participate in that thread, and my own experience is also a true since-day-one account, and I have had no issue ...

"People" don't buy new iPhones every year.
All people around me use them until they meet a fatal accident. Hence, my father still uses an iPhone 4 from 2010, my daughters use an iPhone 5 and...

Nope. Tripodded long tele shots is not my thing these days. But if I were doing it now I would absolutely use the tripod collar on the lens, not the tripod mount on the camera, regardless of camera ...

I bought my E-M5iii (as with the original E-M5). the moment it became available in Europe. My thumb rest remains firmly in place. If you do Unspeakable Things to your thumb rests however - well, I ...

Optical IS cannot correct for rotation around the optical axis whereas IBIS can. Classic example - shake from tripping the shutter. But actually any camera shake where such rotational components ...

Actually, the German interview linked just below answered this one quite clearly. ”Die genauen spezifikation sind noch nicht festgelegt”. Translation to English: The exact specifications are still ...

Well, I’ll be a curmudgeon here and point out that they actually have to release products for sale before any of that even matters. The put two lenses on their roadmap. That’s it. No release date, ...

The 75mm is dated?
It's hands down excellent. And its build quality is up there, check out Roger Cicalas tear down of the lens at lens rentals.
Of my ten m43s lenses it is, hands down, the top...

If they are both buying from Sony, they kind of do that automatically.
Historically, Panasonic has been more oriented towards video and Olympus towards still photography, but these days that may...

Well the 300mm f4 is fast-ish. Kinda. But the longest of these lenses is the 40-150, and admittedly there is quite the gap between the 75mm f1.8 from Olympus and the 200mm f2.8 from Panasonic. A ...

Could be. It could also be a 50-200 f4 and 50-250 f5.6 or any combination of yours and mine. Frankly, I can't really see the point of sacrificing the maximum aperture at shorter focal lengths in ...

They are options. And in my book these lenses are a direction that makes sense and are welcome after a glut of very large, heavy and expensive (and optically impressive) lenses from basically all ...

Agree that a camera with updated sensor is more urgently needed than these lenses, even though they seem quite nice.
(The linked sensor doesn’t do a whole lot for me though - Olympus already did...
