no news at all about this new lens then?

Tamron have given Panasonic and Olympus a great head start to get ahead of this in the race for sales and mind share.

What would you do if the crime being committed was the cops beating someone and by taking photos you were risking your own well being and possibly having equipment smashed?

My wife had two canon Ixus (Elph) cameras, the first was a 700, I dropped it 5 inches onto a wooden table and the lens jammed and camera locked up with the dreaded E 18 error. I replaced it with...

I have a G5 and the video quality is excellent at 1080p. The only disappointment is you can't switch between p24 p30 and p60; the rate is locked in by which country it was manufactured for. So you...

I am hoping that now there's a downloadable firmware image for the GH3 it will be possible for skilled analysis and hacking in order to add features and tweak things.. and if a G5 firmware release...

even if you want to use G+, there are features missing such as being able to email a photo to picasa and thus to G+

you can set up the email address using picasa settings

make a bluetooth model then it doesn't need to attach to anything except the subject. even better, you can return to camera on its tripod whilst reading off light sensor some distance away.

on average, noone makes a profit on iphone or android apps with an upfront cost, so advertising is the only way to make money, and therefore android with more devices deployed is a better bet.

as...

the Elixir2 program for android will allow you to read the ambient light sensor easily, just add a diffuser, and work out how to calibrate the numbers shown ;-)

whilst the sensors in smartphones might be getting better all the time,the same technical advances will apply to larger sensors too.
The key thing is no matter how good the sensor, you can't beat...

I considered the Canon SX### and ended up with a Lumix G5 with the PZ 14-42 lens and its very compact.

p.s. just to add perspective. In the days of film, I had a Canon EOS plus various lenses. I went digital and got an Olympus bridge camera, and later a Canon powershot.

years ago I went to a talk given by someone who'd toured the middle east and he said that people there would get nervous the moment you pointed something at them whether a camera or a gun - they...

The eos-m is a disappointing camera.. and there was no excuse as the m4/3 and Nikon1 series already drew the baseline.
This is a pretense that the poor eos-m doesnt matter.

Maybe it was taken with an olympus PEN as many have no integrated flash so can't use for fill-in flash to add a highlight etc.
Or worse, with a smartphone which dpreview seem besotted with these days.

I can carry my Lumix g5 with pz 14-42 lens around all day and never feel burdened by weight or bulk. It's lighter than the Canon powershot it replaced.

The best camera is the one you have with you.

If your interested, and there's one which suits you, get it.
Each time I've bought a digital camera I've done so when a model comes along which satisfies a checklist of requirements....
