43 Rumors

Say no more…
Proof?

The wrong lens for me. What I desperately am waiting for is the 35-100.

Sorry, but according to my findings so far, tracking is absolutely useless.

As I said in my post above: there isn’t a single REALLY SHARP action picture shot with the Nikon one to find in the whole World Wide Web. The E-M5, however, delivers reliably when switchen into vivid (Please use the links in my previous post).

I’m amazed by the 14-150′s performance at the short end.
And my E-M5 kit was delivered today. Picked it up at 19:00hrs CEST, battery is loaded and waiting for action tomorrow.

+1

According to what the first E-M5 users in the German systemkamera-forum claim, the E-M5′s IS is on a par with the OIS of the Lumix 100-300 even at 300 mm.

You mean like a remote-flash system?

Thank you very much for your wise approach.

Maybe that’s why he seemed less inspired than unsually.

I think it’s far more amazing that the E-PM1 is available for just €209, in Germany.

That’s what I’d call a bargain.

I voted ywes but I’d rather buy a sealed version – while I don’t mind the least if it’s silver or black.

“But when the camera body is mostly black, silver lenses doesn’t match, simple as that. Whether you like is a different issue. Its like white shoe laces on black shoes. Some people might dig it but most people dont. The problem is we don’t have a choice.”

I fully disagree, here.

Those who have shot with the great FT HG zooms are aware that f2.8 is absolutely fine for everything if the lenses provide frame-to-frame sharpness wide open and are optically top class. They are good enough for isolatimg your subject and evereything else. So, if these new pancakes – should they ever be produced – [...]

“This test demonstrates nothing beyond the fact that this person has access to lots of great m43 glass and the crappiest Nex prime lens. The issues with the 16mm on the Nex7 are well documented, its not up to the 7′s resolution.” —- I fully agree here. These kinds of test are absolutely useless and [...]

Nono – we still need a 50-200 2.8-3.5. Urgently!

“There is no question about the superior performances of the 4/3rds Olympus lenses.” —- I always believed that this was the case but just the other day, a long-time Oly user (since the OM days) in the German ‘Olympioniken’ forum told me, that his copy of the M.Zuiko 9-18 defintely is better than his ED [...]

The Pentax Q is outselling the Oly µFTs?!?! May I ask in which country this is supposed to be the case?

I’s rather buy an E-1 styled µFT camera – with both the lens AND the viewfinder in the corner. So, I’d still have viewfinder and lens in the same axis. And its handling was just perfect.
I just can’t understand the fake-rangefinder obsession.

Say no more…
I always was of the opinion, that Oly was the one who came up with the nmajority of the innovations in the FT/µFT world. Silly me!
