this thing is complex. Saw some video where a guy took 20 mins to balance the GH4 on this thing. And that's for one lens. Everytime you change a lens, you'll need to rebalance again. After that you need to muck around with the software and change various parameters for you camera / lens...

after handling both the EPL3 and the EP3, I must say I prefer the EP3. The EPL3 has a glossy smooth finish and to me, it feels slipery. Not a good feeling to have for a $1000 gadget. The EP3 has a leather grip that gives you a rough feel and a more assured sensation that the gadget will not slip...

ok thanks for the tip. I've an Olympus DSLR and you know what that means when the ISO is pumped all the way....maybe it's time to save up for a second system.

how does one set white balance in poor light ? I've using grey card in dim light, using the camera custom white balance function. However, the camera says there is insufficient light. Can't seem to get around this.

I think if EVF is needed, it seems to go against the idea of a mirrorless system. If you encounter a fair number of situations where you really need the EVF, then a prism is needed. The EVF is a poor substitute for a prism. It's not just about resolution, but the response speed as well. Of...

well, from the interview, it does look like Olympus is not abandoning the 43 system. However, it does confirm that Olympus is putting most of it's resources into micro four thirds and leaving four thirds alone or at the least, a skeleton crew to man the development, thus to say four thirds is...

forget about Hong Kong. Check out Amazon.com. It's selling for USD 509 right now. It's one of the cheapest place to get the lens. If you've someone to bring it over from the US, it's a no brainer, as you can skip both the tax and the shipping charges.

maybe they should hire the marketing folks from McDonalds, they're brilliant at marketing. If anyone can push hamburger volumes with Hello Kitty toys, they're good.

yes, I'm sure they are selling four thirds lens to people still. However, I've got all the four thirds lens for my needs right now. No, I don't have all the four thirds lens in my cabinet, but those that I really need, I have it. There are other focal lengths that I need, but I doubt that there...

you do have a good memory :). I've to travel quite a fair bit, so have not joined the kopi sessions. Now that there's a Thor movie, I'll give the old hammer a swing and bring it to the cinema. I'm ok with the E DSLRs. Though it tends to clip quite often on the E520 and hardly on the E1. Dunno...

if you're in China, there're other things you can molest..... :) I'm sure it shouldn't be too difficult to find another Singapore group there who's into molestation....

when I first bought my E1, I was so pleased with the camera. I had hoped that it would be a succesfull camera system, that it will the the start of a long line of E-x cameras. Four thirds will rule the world. Now, as I see the threads in this forum, the number of threads on four thirds is...

unfortunately, my eyes are not good enough for MF. I trust the camera AF more than my eyes, based on experience. At ISO 1600, you can really tell the noise level is starting to kick in. I try to stay away from that unless I've not choice. The other problem with a 30mm prime is that you can't...

It's the MK1

well, best kiss the camera then. Get well soon. :)
