MicroFourThirds camera+lens Poll closed: Results

Share

After 1,198 unique votes we closed the MicroFourThirds poll. What have we learned from it?

1) People wants the camera as compact as possible! Only a small percentage of voters preferrs zooms (11%).
2) People wants fast lenses! The is the clear winner of the poll (67% voted for the lens!)!
3) The Olympus and the are on par. Both received more or less the same votes (54% voted for the E-P1 and 46% for the GF1).
4) 9% E-P1/GF1 owners do use Leica lenses on their camera.

What do you think?

Something unexpected? I hope....
