  • The State of the Mirrorless Camera Industry – May 2013

    The State of the Mirrorless Camera Industry – May 2013

    When I first started this site about 16 months ago, I did a two-part piece examining a little of the history of digital photography and a trending towards mirrorless cameras. Since then, a lot has changed in a relatively short period of time, though the major players are still the same. More and more people…

  • Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3

    After a quite long two-year wait, Panasonic has updated their flagship Micro 4/3 camera, and they’ve upgraded almost every single item on the camera. This fall, the new DMC-GH3 was announced and cameras first started becoming available a few months ago. Panasonic is positioning the GH3 as the ultimate top end Micro 4/3 body, with…

  • Mirrorless Battle: OM-D vs GH3 vs X-E1

    Mirrorless Battle: OM-D vs GH3 vs X-E1

    This should be a fun comparison.  I have the pleasure of having three of the best mirrorless cameras around in my possession right now: a newly acquired Fuji X-E1 with 35mm f/1.4, my trusty Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Panasonic GH3, fresh into my hands for review.  Expect full reviews of the Fuji X-E1 and Panasonic…

  • Review: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 35-100mm f/2.8 X OIS

    Panasonic and Olympus have been very busy the past few years, filling out their lens lineups for Micro 4/3, and while there have been some consumer grade lenses released in this time frame, both Olympus and Panasonic have really targeted the high-end enthusiast and professional with their recent lens offerings.  At first, Micro 4/3 had…

  • Macro Battle: Olympus 60mm f/2.8 vs Leica 45mm f/2.8

    Macro Battle: Olympus 60mm f/2.8 vs Leica 45mm f/2.8

    I did a little bit of testing last night with the new Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro and I compared it with the only other dedicated macro lens for Micro 4/3, the Panasonic Leica 45mm f/2.8 OIS. As far as construction goes, they are similarly built.  Both have high-grade plastic bodies built to tight tolerances and…

    A Huge Array of Micro 4/3 Announcements…

    Wow.  Photokina kicked off this week, and as one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) photography trade shows, it also sees a ton of announcements.  I wanted to get to these earlier, but it’s been crazy busy around here.  For Micro 4/3 users, Monday saw the announced release of no less than three new…

  • Review: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 X OIS

    Panasonic Goes Pro When the Panasonic Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8 X lens was first shown off as a ‘concept lens’ with its still yet to be announced 35-100mm brother (reviewed here) in August of last year, serious photographers who used the Micro 4/3 system started to lick their chops.  It took a while, but the lens was…
