Am I the only one that thinks the 4k [even when it's the slightly faux 4k UHD spec as here] is a bit redundant on a laptop?

I mean what's it's purpose? Even if you view really, really close up...

There are one or two big buts to this. Firstly of course you're talking about 35mm format mirrorless - if you take into account MfT, telephoto zooms don't 'ruin it', they're a massive strength of...

I suppose they [the OEMs] will have chewed the numbers and decided they can make more money by selling fewer units with very large markups, but their competitors demonstrate it is a marketing...

"except the 70-200/4 OSS (because physics). " Yep and that lens isn't really out of the standard range for most photographers is it [even those of us not concerned with sports or willdlife, or...

There are still quibbles in terms of design and their lenses are hugely overpriced [even when :gasp: compared to Canon]. Once the third party makers start biting deeply into mirrorless territory...

Sony appeared to have a bit of a scatter gun approach to technology in imaging and there was a big mismatch [and actual division for a while] between their consumer electronics backed mass market...

A bit mental. I picked up a Gm5 last year [sadly no longer made] which looks much smaller than this. Fiddly controls, but all there, plus an EVF and a mount that takes smaller lenses designed for...

@Naveed

I agree with all your points about the weight advantage, but if you're comparing [for instance] a 12-35 f2.8 for Mft vs a 24-70 f2.8 for 35mm format, it's apples and oranges. It isn't just...

@Naveed

Why is thinking about what effect aperture values [and image noise] will have on your images 'less of a value'? Especially if you are explicitly comparing lenses between systems? If you...

@Nick8

Mine is the long running argument with the reviewer in that article, who seems hell bent on seeing this as a 1-400 f2.8-4 equivalent lens and those are the comparisons he makes [talking of...

Oh I wouldn't disagree on that - iTunes for example is a piece of sh*t designed for the benefit of Apple, not their customers.

The iPhoneX is hideously overpriced albeit a nice bit of kit and they...

This is the way of the world these days and it's not Apple, it's just the way any huge, successful company operates these days. Apple are among the largest and most profitable and their behaviour...

You can only daisychain up to six?

I'm going to wait until You can connect 24 together.

That way I can assemble them into a makeshift shelter to protect me from the rain after I've sold my house.

"BTW, you know nothing of 802.11 b/g/n and 102 mbps stream."

Thanks for letting everyone know about my utter ignorance of WiFi protocols and their theoretical throughputs - how did you...

Well then multisystem, I have very good news for you - you can go and trot down to the shops now and buy yourself a GX8 for more or less the same price as this Olympus. If we're listing camera gear...

Sorry Bryan - clearly a lot less vague and ambiguous than "I have emailed..."

Just promise me for the love of the sweet Jesus and all cute baby donkeys and goats in heaven, you won't let us know...

"We have reached out to Nikon and Sony"

Do let us know if they reached back and you all formed a ring and started performing verses of Cumbaya, Lord.

Seriously, why can't you just say you've...

@khunpapa

Yeah it's offering many of the bells and whistles a lot of ILCs feature in 2018. Considering how these chipsets are manufactured it's probably cheaper to feature these than try and find...

While I do think the rise of mirrorless is imminent, I think in terms of technology it's an expedient middle way.

The business models of the current imaging behemoths are dependent on an...

Well then that makes all the difference - why aren't they charging $1000 for this?

Incidentally what does the later 16mp sensor have over the earlier one. Is it as much as half a stop better at...
