You lot are scaring me. I seem to have bought into a dottery old man system. Aaaaaaaaaaarg -what have I done? :) will my camera suck the youth out of me? Or keep me active for many years to come? :)

Just go strapless. It's tops. Extremely liberating. And a top opening shoulder bag. Been strapless for many years now, from full frame to compact. You've got more chance of dropping your camera ...

Ahaaaaa. So that's why I bought a Panasonic :)

I personally wouldn't be doing that. Probably just because I'm a bit superstitious :) I let the supplied camera software do the file transfers, leave the original files on the card, & let the ...

:) I've yet to choose a lens to buy for the GX8. I'm tossing up whether to buy a smart adapter for my EF S 55-250 STM, & give that a shot. I've found that to be a lovely sharp little lens, at an ...

Not sure why you feel the need to throw the "experts" jibe in there, but there is a reason cameras -particularly SLR, evolved to include a decent grip. And it's not for "waving the camera around 1 ...

So all those lenses at the superbowl were all loaners? Interesting.

Ha. I got my GX8 & 25 1.7 for $700 brand spanking new. I wouldn't have paid the original $1400 odd body only in a pink fit :) As for nearly $1800................... I think Oly is getting a bit ...

True. If talking purely aesthetics. Personally, after a diet of Canon DSLR's, I actually prefer the looks and ergonomics of the G7. But the extra features of the GX8 won me, once the price fell to ...

Not if they're going to then charge a 4 or 500 dollar premium for it thanks very much. Personally, I'd much much much rather have a functional tool, that AF's quickly & accurately, fits my hand ...

A ladies shoulder bag, sitting on a white portable cushion. Looking deserted.

Lol. Hipsters must be absolutely loaded these days :) In more ways than one

One very small nit pick. The faster lens will give you better image quality (by being able to use lower ISO values), when the light gets low. In good light, not important. That's one of the ...

Exactly. So very very little crop specific, & not much faster than f/2.8. Did I mention it was ugly as sin? And slow?

The K1 didn't sell, because it had absolutely nothing going for it. Ugly, & slow, slow slow. From memory, expensive too at the start. And not a large selection of lenses, adapted or otherwise, ...

LOL. Have you actually taken a look at any reviews of some of the latest Canon L's. Pretty sure optically inferior is not listed as a negative anywhere in any of the reviews I've read. You can ...

Best you go have a word to Sony then. Have you actually looked at the size & weight of their new G master? lens line? As has been said here before, it's only the body where there seems to be any ...

If it were me, I'd probably stick with the Oly lens. Oly camera, Oly lens. For me, Panny camera, Panny lens. That's just the way I am though. Nothing OCD about it, I'm just happy to take advantage ...
