    Good for video and photo - Mirrorless camera(CSC)

    Hi Thanks Folks for the responses: My take: Panasonic GH3, seems the choice becos of its video and filmic quaility video capability. Has built in flash and horseshoe and ext mike jack. Although it doesn't have Image stabilisation on the body only on its lens. Olympus OMD seems a close choice.

    Sorry, should have added that I fancy a built-in flash. For family shots and fuss-free use. Any fits the bill, plus 1k budget for all including lenses and very slim form factor. Thanks, keepers of knowledge

    Wow, yeah, I am open to other brands now. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonynex7 - oh, it's S$1,400, above my budget lah. Attracted to Sony cos it's the slimmest when the zoom lenses retracts - beats fujifilm, panasonic, Olympus OMD, Nikon hands down. I could use a pancake lens for the...

    28mm vs 35mm lenses - softer image?

    A Harvey Norman salesman told me 35mm lens take the best pic. That's why most camera companies come out with only 1 wide-angle lens compact camera 'cos 28mm lens give softer image even around the person in the shot, not just the edges distortion. Is it true? I was banking on getting a 28mm...
