I missed the GM line (as an ultra compact ‘stealth’ supplement to MfT) so much I sought out and bought a GM5 to replace my GM1.

But this? The viewfinder’s great and it has a flip-out. But no IBIS...

Thanks Richard, I didn’t realise that (the PDAF points being an overlay).

I’d seen the article on lenses a while ago and forgot about it! Not a huge amount of detail but is is only an overview....

It’s a bit surprising you think the sensor is the same in all but the Canon. Does that mean you think the S1 is using a sensor with phase detect points, but just avoids using them in favour of DfD?...

“ I know of a K-01 that was stolen so that last assumption cannot be true.”

You shouldn’t have left it concealed in the boot of your Trabant - you’d still have that, too.

Except most of the list seem to have been designed merely with novelty in mind. Bad design in other words.

Cameras are a tool and the most important design principle behind any tool is its...

I think they’re only bought by people with an extreme case of phobia of having camera gear stolen. As a prophylactic. Safe snapping at its most assured.

Response to wrong post. Apologies - removed.

I used to shoot Pentax in the film days and I think they’ve a good product with many of their offerings. But hell that K01 is fugly. I had it as #3 and my top 2 are the ones riding high in the...

The overlap in technology is now so great that cameras that have poor video features (hello Canon) increasingly look hobbled.

Your analogy to Pierre might be more accurate if you were comparing...

I suppose the simplest explanation is that often people have laid out a bit stack of cash on their choice. That’s a huge incentive toward a conformation bias. No one likes the idea they’ve spent...

@atho
You do realise that f4/f8 thing (necessarily coupled to the format) also relates to the amount of light gathered, don’t you? You do realise that all things being equal (such as sensor...

@Adventcal
My memory was faulty. None. I see I’ve made two forum posts in the last ten years. One in site comments and suggestions and one in the Nikon forum in 2013, where my sole comment in a...

Mitigates, not motivates. Bloody autocorrect and no edit function.

@adventcal

That isn’t true. I’ve few posts in that forum, but I’m confident even fewer in any other. I’m brand/format agnostic but I like the size/capability matrix of mft. I also think the IBIS...

Panasonic G9.

Yeah it lacks a couple of the particulars of this model (although has a few of its own tricks) and its launch price was similar. But you can now pick it up for a good bit less than a...

The solidity of the metal construction actually makes this a lot more likely. It is small, but it’s almost achieving the impossible in making the Panny Leica 12-60 look like a steal. I can’t...

Preposterous price for an f4 standard zoom that equivalences to f8 in 35mm format terms. I’d expect it to be sharp wide open, but that’s a characteristic of very many lenses for the format.

I also...

It isn’t actually much more than an action film. In fact the overwhelming impression I came away with was following the avatar in a first person shoot ‘em out game.

That’s reinforced by the lack...

Saw the camera and thought “you Lucky b*gger”. Saw the image and thought... you get the idea. Gizza job.
