Inch Allah ! Your guess is as good as mine on points 1 and 2 but I wouldn't hold my breath for Panny PDAF... On the other hand, don't worry too much about Oly's future; buy the camera that suits ...

All the other posts are of course valid ones but my point is : if it's too good to e true, there is is a catch somewhere. That price seems low, so I would look into the details of the camera ...

I agree since I've bought one (MkII) ! But this is still a middle of the road budget telephoto zoom. I've "grown up to it" from the original 45-200. Still, most of the true BIF fanatics are more ...

Why do you seem surprised ? Making a good 12-45  F4 is WAY easier than making a 12-100 F4 so there is no excuse not to be good.

Let's get things back into perspective here. Back in the 35mm film era, 200mm was about the longest most people needed, Above that was considered a "niche market". Zoom to the present and you have ...

I tend to disagree. To the casual photographer who  wants to look good with a big camera  but doesn't know how to use it, Canon and Nikon are magnets. To more serious photographers, Olympus is a ...

Hah but you digress ! It is not a "subject of mockery" rather more an example of where FF can be rather bloated. Now, the ideal way to have addressed this point would be to show another poor sod ...

????? What ??? That's not even apples and oranges, it's watermelons and raisins... Please troll somewhere else !

???? What about all the F1.2 and F0.95 lenses out there ? What's your point ?

Good biceps! Lens not for me though... PS: Did he really take a shot ?

You're trolling, right?

Actually, I'll bet that most - the great majority of them - never even had a camera to start with. Their intro in to photography - if you can put selfies into "photography" - was through their ...

Maybe a paper bag over your head for the next 3 months. Plus, it will protect you from the COVIDEO virus...

Probably not a lot of "normal people" around here...

RE: « Níor bhris focal maith fiacail riamh » Well, at least there is the word "focal" which seems appropriate... ;-)

The SR-71 is one of my favorite planes. The stealth, the altitude, the speed, the stato-reactors; it was all very much the state of the art in the late 60's and 70's. It is also the Darth Vador of...

Not really... Do you want to make the point that the Oly is smaller than FF cameras or that FF cameras with their HUGE sensor is about the same size as a µ4/3 camera ? That whole "µ4/3 just have to ...

Agreed. Panasonic has already made the choice that their FF line - The DC-S1H - would be their flagship video / stills camera; even Jordan agrees. Let the µ4/3 group focus on ease of use, size, ...

Great camera... Hear hear ! YES !!!

Hugh! That's the last thing I would want. Apple is the most self-centered proprietary system out there while µ4/3 was meant to be open to different manufacturers. True, it hasn't completely ...
