Considering that most cameras these days are made out of plastic, the G1 is not plasticky at all. Once in the hand, it has a really nice look and feel too it. No, it isn't a Leica M9, but for what it is, it is pretty nice.

I agree with Mark Young. The D-Lux does have a characteristic look.

All, It isn't because I started mu-43 that this site was left inactive. I got a new job, and my family moved in July 2009. The new job has been a tremendous amount of work, and I've simply been unable to put in the time testing gear and blogging. This site was a labor of love, and I couldn't bring myself to shut it down or sell it. I am now in the process of trying to re-launch the site in a more collaborative, forum-based format, which I hope will be more self-sustaining in the way that mu-43 has been. I hope that those who have enjoyed this site will check out the new one and help make it a success. Amin

Freddy - 2010 Micro Four Thirds Lens Roadmap: What's Missing?

Freddy — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 20:54:14 +0000

A small 12mm lense, and a fast portrait lens (~ 50mm f/1.4). Please. A micro Four Third vertion of the excellent Zuiko 12-60 /2.8-4 is also wanted. But the primes first. It would be nice if Panasonic and Olympus could cooperate closer. As it is now, they both make their own versions of nearly the same lenses. There are so many holes in the lens lineup that they should work together to make the lineup more or less complete before they make double versions of lenses with the same focal lengths.

I agree that f/1.8 or faster prime lenses are really NEEDED by Olympus and Panasonic right now. Low-cost Micro Four Thirds cameras like the E-PL1 could become a major critical success if there were more fast, compact primes available with auto focus. Yes, there are adapters for connecting manual focus primes or standard Four Thirds lenses, but these compact Micro Four Thirds cameras really need compact Micro Four Thirds primes to go along with them. There is a reason that so many Micro Four Thirds owners rave about the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 prime. We need more fast primes for the Micro Four Thirds mount!

I agree with Andrew: a m4/3 12-60mm 2.8-4 with the same quality as the 'regular' 4/3 lens

hey, lots of info & news can be found at that very forum @ http://mu-43.com. This site is really a big one, so I think Amin doesn't have any time left for here.

I'm probably in a real minority here, but I'd buy into Micro 4/3 if there was a 300f4 so I had a lightweight bird photography setup. Maybe the 100-300 will be adequate but I'd be surprised. Periodically I wish someone would stick a 135 f2.8 lens on the sensor from say a Canon S90 and you'd have a 600mm equivalent f2.8 that was tiny.

Fast primes. Enough said!

It's a shame that this site stopped being updated. It *used* to be the go-to site for some of the best information for these little cameras. Now, it is only a record of what once was. Two and a half years of work, just to throw it all away. :-/ Funny how it stopped being updated at about the same time that Amin announced the "Micro Four Thirds User Forum". Coincidence?

The NEX5/3 are announced! - Very cool looking, and size is teh win! - Include detachable Flash?? Is this Sony we are talking about? Not sure if it does off-camera TTL/manual trigger though. - The 16mm f/2.8 prime lens is impressively small - which would be 24mm FOV on full frame. But it looks like it doesn't have image stabbilisation? - Any faster pancake prime? The 16mm lens size is fine for me - Xmas present (for myself!). Comments? Thoughts?

DeeBee - Panasonic G1 - Nikon D700 ISO Shootout

DeeBee — Tue, 11 May 2010 04:43:18 +0000

I have a D700 and an micro 4/3 (E-P2), and I have a very hard time believing that. The D700 at lower ISOs has enormous dynamic range in the raw files. It keeps pulling out detail from the shadows, but what surprises me regularly is how forgiving it can be at the highlight end. Blown areas just cleanly come back in PP. I love both cameras, and the m43 gets carried around more and makes excellent pictures, but the Nikon FX sensor on the D3/D700 is hard to fault relative to almost anything digital - I say this because I realize that an E-P2 is not a G1, but it's not going to be close.
