They actually did, it's the GX8...

Quite different situations. DFD focusing relies on the camera's deep knowledge of the optical properties of the Panasonic lens mated to it and Panasonic, in its infinite marketing wisdom, decided ...

Interesting little lens. I have not yet found a credible review for it mated to a µ4/3 camera but APS-C based reviews are a mixed bag citing very creamy bokeh (t does have a circular 12 blade ...

Panasonic take note: The GX9 is NOT the GX8 successor. +1 to Oly on this one.

Correct. The manual seems the same weight as the camera. It somewhat brings to mind fond memories of my Instamatic camera of a few years back...

And an appallingly HUGE and foreboding one! With most people never reading the F*** manual in the first place, I predict a lot of trial-and-error frustration to come.

IMHO, the lens has nothing to do with face/eye detect fonstionality; that's the sensor's job and it transfers its conclusions to the lens. Now how fast the adequate focus is achieved does depend on ...

Very nice set and good family values. Very nice looking wife BTW, so she might come into the "whatever I saw that caught my fancy" category :-) It also gives a whole new sense to " Senior Member" ...

Sigh... You really don't get the point. The idea was to put the camera into a 6400 ISO situation for testing purposes, just to see how much the camera could improve the noise with stacking. Forget ...

You don't get the point, do you?

Great context and thank god for AF and IS...

And therein lies the itch. Panasonic's marketing (not to mention support) sucks to high heaven and Olympus' is not much better as far as marketing goes; barely visible for all but the already ...

+1. I would have put +2 but dpreview doesn't let me...

Re: « I don't think that the EM1X is going to be a successful pro sports camera at all. Professional sports are mostly played under lower light . The NFL often plays at night, indoors or in the ...

If you can find solace in this, Panasonic is even more obscure regarding the future of its line. Heck, it's even obscure regarding the present. PS: Would really like a REAL successor to the GX8 ...

BTW, how much more useful for you is the manual aperture ring on the PL 15 than the aperture priority mode on the camera?

What? Reading the manual before fiddling blindly first? What unheard of heresy!  :-D

It was obviously an overstatement but the difference is still around 600gr in favor of the Sony, not exactly negligible...

Yep, when all else fails, RTFM... That's something most of us tend to forget. I would also suggest to RTFM every few months as you tend to grow comfortable using a few settings but mostly you are ...

Maybe this one will help somewhat: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/62313519 Granted, it's a "first impressions" post on a pre-prod unit so it's very subjective but it does suggest the Holy ...
