    Help, deciding to give up my olympus prime 45/1.8 and 12/2.0 for a 12-40/2.8 pro

    I tend to prefer primes, however, when travelling, changing lenses might be a hassle. I guess one question you can ask is can you accept the "drop" in image quality if you use the 12-40 to replace everything. And can you accept the limitations of lower light capabilities compared to F1.8? Bokeh?

    Purchasing my very first DSLR

    Hello kcgwei, going down to the stores and trying out the cameras is definitely a great suggestion by Octarine and an important first step. You may like a camera by reading specs sheets and seeing product images but totally hate its ergonomics or menu system. Definitely do try cameras out...

    Time on your phone

    Wow...I thought it was because of my recent trip to Korea that caused it. My phone (Xperia Z1 Compact) is also slower, but by 6 minutes (Singtel), switched to manual.

    travel to winter/cold weather tips and experiences

    Just came back from Korea, and I'd like to add that I didn't do the zip-lock bag thing. I basically had my EPL6 slung on my shoulders going up snow mountains, entering warm places and there was no condensation at all. Temperatures ranged from 3 to sub 11. Batteries lasted way longer than I...

    Perhaps it might have been better to put the watermark elsewhere like at the bottom of the picture? I was wondering if those white stuff were part of her legs, or makeup or watermark...

    Marina Barrage with 85mm f1.2L

    Wait wait..there's a difference between sharp and in-focus isn't it? You can be focused on your subject, but the rendering from the lens causes it to not be sharp. Or your lens renders very sharply but you're out of focus. I'd say this is out of focus rather than being not sharp...but I don't...

    Night Portrait by 85mm f1.2L

    Wow..I like these shots...really nice... My only curiosity is roused from the odd-looking bokeh balls, why would they not be fully circular??

    I'd think a deeper pool might be better, or if the couple can go lower such that the water surface doesn't cut the head off.

    What draws you to Micro 4/3s?

    First reason, I I refuse to believe that dSLR = good picture. Second, I didn't want to lug a heavy dSLR camera and heavy lenses, even though it is arguable that there are small & light dSLRs around. Third, I wanted a small(er) system that is capable enough. Are there limitations I wish were...

    VF-1 or VF-2 or VF-3 for E-PL5?

    I have the VF4 and it's awesome...but it does add a bit of bulk to the camera (EPL6) though. I wear glasses too, no problems. Though you might lose sight of the corners if your glasses protrude from your face quite a bit...
