Hi, I don't know enough to judge their business decisions but it would be a pity to see them withdraw from digital photography. Through the years, they have brought to market some real jewels, both...

Hi, I grew up at the foot of the Eastern Alps and for 20 years did quite a lot of rock climbing, extreme skiing, caving and diving, also solo. I am all for letting people go wherever and do...

Hi, as a part-time fine art pro I process all my (Raw) photos in PS6 (DxO OpticsPro for high ISO pics Prime denoising) but don't have a high volume of pics with which to deal day in and day out. I...

Hi, Just one personal comment. For decades, I happily shot film with a bunch of prime lenses. I began using zooms when I moved to digital. With all their shortcomings, I find that zooms are ideal...

Hi PoNY, when you try to standardize fine art you are on a slippery slope. I respect your choice of subjects, technique and gear 100% as a sacred right of every individual artist but expect the...

Hi neverendinglight, coming from the days of manual cameras and b&w film, I tend to be more demanding in terms of my own technique and creativity than cutting-edge technology. Also, my typical...

Hi, these are 4x and 5x zooms. Have you compared them with the same APS-C ranges?

To be exact, it's the distance between the center of contiguous pixels.

I guess it's a personal thing. It is true that I have a lot of experience but, with the current standardization, I am able to work my way through 95% of any camera menu without consulting the...

Hi, f/1.2 and f/1.8 lenses cannot be compared directly with the former requiring larger size and consequent higher weight. A better if not perfect alternative would be the Zuiko 25mm f/1.8 which is...

About the portability of the M43 system. I shoot relatively static subjects for fine art printing and do some animal (especially birds) photography for fun since I am often out in Nature. I really...

Hi AleMat496, the excellent D500 is often mentioned as an alternative to the M43 flagships. It has an edge on image quality but the M43 has the size/weight advantage. I work with two E-M5II. The...

Hi soundknight21, Raw files being a little underwhelming is very vague. Do they show poor detail and/or dynamic range after you (properly) process them? So far, the sensors in the Oly and Pana...

If you are happy with your system God bless you and happy shooting. But let's be rational, there is no way for any APS-C system with equivalent equipment to compare favorably against M43 in terms...

Hi, I am an OMD user who scaled down from 4x5", 2 1/4", and 35mm film, and 27lb tripods. I am not interested in comparisons with larger sensor systems because, like many amateurs and pros, my...

BTW, today only the Olympus outlet has the refurbished EM5II for $540.00.

OMG, I can't resist: are you sure you have human anatomy and central nervous system? (sorry gents!)

Hi, I had an interesting and enjoyable discussion with "entoman" about the current role of camera technology in the photographic process. My 2c on this subject are as follows. Technology surely is...

Hi neverendinglight, very few people truly "need" the E-M1II. When you get serious about your photography two camera bodies make a lot of sense for redundancy and not having to change lenses in...

Hi, the whole argument is about your statement that photographers need? want? the best gear ever. This can be true for some amateurs but not for most pro's who focus on a balance between relative...
