+1 about learning how to position your subject and yourself. This was taken with the humble 45mm 1.8 and as you can see, the background is totally blurred:

Heck, even the guys ears are a bit blurred already.

Sounds like a reasonable approach, but for my style of shooting, I’d rather have AF. Its quite possible this system will be around for quite a few more years, and frankly, with the consumerism frenzy its quite possible most users would sell gear and move to the “next big thing” way before the system has [...]

Exactly. Canon (and Nikon to a degree) might have 100+ lenses in their lineups but the big majority of those are dinosaurs from the film era – particularly in the primes department. It is only in the past few years that both manufacturers are catching up with new designs, but at a slow pace. I’d [...]

I guess we’ll have to wait till it falls to more sane levels. I was also expecting $1000, but this is 30% more.

Exactly, thats what people comparing m43 with FF miss: CONTEXT!!! There’s no one “absolute winner”, it all *depends* on your specific needs. Vision, needs, only then gear. Gear should be subjected to what you want to achieve on a photographic or personal level, and not the other way around…

Absolutely. I’m all for the dof rendering of 135 format equipment, but I know that i’m zero interested in lugging a full frame DSLR and accompaning big, heavy zoom while travelling, which is my main use for m43. So, its a thing of compromises – i’d rather have a “good enough” system with me all [...]

I’m bummed about that. I was expecting this lens to be a real weathersealed glass (a la Canon “L” or Oly HG), but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

The 17-55 is not weathersealed as far as I know, as it is officially NOT an “L series” glass.

It DOES get dirty, the 14-42 rubberized area is a magnet for dust. On the other hand, i’d rather have rubberized grip than no grip at all…

Well, the guys on DSLR Magazine said that they were posting just a few snaps to get an idea of the lens, but it wasn’t like it was an actual pic gallery.

And half the maximum aperture, lol, hahaha. But yes, this makes much more sense for this “compact camera” system than the oly f/2 zooms for “regular” four thirds…

Sooooo, gentlemen, this is what we were waiting for, and its finally here! A high end normal zoom, weathersealed, with image stabilization and fixed f/2.8 aperture – all that in a reasonably sized package. A-WE-SO-ME! Thanks Panny. Again, this goes to show the size and portability advantage of this system. I’m sure the optics will [...]

I guess if you don’t see the benefits of a high end zoom with reasonable focal length range and fixed f/2.8 aperture then maybe it is because you don’t need it…Just sayin’

Right, and that whole setup will be 4x the size and weight of the equivalent m43. I just don’t see how you could compare both. To each his own I guess.
