I think G7 offers better bang-for-buck right now. Its ergonomics and body design are quite nice, and I find it oddly attractive (especially with silver trim).

Not my problem. I'm a consumer. Show me what I want to buy or I'm buying somewhere else. That's the way it works.

It's a chicken/egg problem. Is Sony starving A-mount so A-mounters are leaving, or are A-mounters leaving because Sony is starving us and only a few will stick around? It seems growing the a-mount ...

Sony Camera Division is sending a crystal clear message with product releases and marketing effort. It's not a message A-mount people really want to hear, though.

The more rational comparison might be nikon d7000 with Tamron 150-600 lens. I pick that combo because the d7000 has a 16mp sensor - not the newest but a very good sensor all the same - and because ...

Make FF affordable. To me, 6D is the answer; but there are plenty of people still singing the praises of the original 5D. Can't beat it with a stick. :D

It's what you want to do, so do it! :)

I see. That all makes sense, but I've heard claims that there may be more to it in some cases. There are people who have stated emphatically that Canon sensors (for instance) are not isoless and ...

Depends how well it delivers on its promises and whether it's plagued with production problems. It probably won't stay at $2k for that long, anyway. These days, there's a lot of downward pressure ...

So basically, ISO is a processing instruction, and the limitations we see at high iso are limitations of pushing the values for the image data into the stratosphere?

I'm not understanding your assertion here. How is iso setting not a real thing? Are you saying that sensors are isoless (an idea that appears to be true in some situations, especially at iso 100, ...

If it delivers as you're describing, that would be impressive and could make the camera worth its asking price. I'd wait a bit before buying though. Nikon seems to need time to work the bugs out ...

As this is the thinking that I use when approaching m43, it makes sense to me! :D

Everything you're saying makes sense. :)

It would be wonderful if even some of that happens. It doesn't look like Sony is doing anything to prepare the way for any of it. Real support would likely entail new lenses as well as new bodies. ...

I will keep all the lens recommendations in mind. I've not been much for primes. I know they're good for IQ, but it's so easy to end up with a bag full of them. I'm not really worried about MFT ...

I was looking at your sample shots. It seems to perform well in low light, and that's a priority.

Very tempting. :D

This has been very informative. I'll have to try a GX8 to see if I like it. I currently shoot a 6D and an A57. I had been spoiled by the fast AF through the LCD and the easy video on the A57. The ...

I'm looking for some expertise on the Panasonic MFT bodies, particularly the GH4 and G7. I do some casual event shooting. I want a camera that will shoot good video and decent stills. I see all ...
