The Olympus forum is an exclusive Old Boys Club, jacket and tie required to enter. Here we are the riff raff who even horror of horrors use those nasty low class cameras and lenses made by ...

I managed to this landscape photography challenge http://www.dpreview.com/challenges/Challenge.aspx?ID=11109 using my old obsolete GX1 that I picked up second hand for €150. Proof to me how good ...

Before ranting off, why not contact Panasonic by Email and try to sort things out before venting your anger on line. Maybe with a bit of patience they will sort things out for you.

Nice shot. I have done this type of landscape too with interesting results. Justs need lots of care with the framing.

I was curious and paid a visit to his website. I looked at some of his pictures and then had a look at his CV. What I saw was a collection of edgy hipsterish photographs with wacky compositions ...

I was not precice. Instead of saying out of camera, I should of said they have not been cropped or manipulated in any way. I have downsized for the web. You will have a big suprise when I reveal ...

You are getting close.

No it is M43 and it was quite cheap

I spent last Sunday in one of Italy's "Citta d'arte". I was not really looking but I noticed how few people now carry a proper camera and these were mostly low level CaNikons with basic kit lenses. ...

You are wrong. But what a charming fellow you are!

No I could not use a tripod. Just the miracle of IBIS.
