I just spent 4 hours shooting kids at my daughter's birthday party today. The venue was at a club and we started with bowling first, lunch at cafe and finally at playground outdoor. I used EM5 with 12-35mm f2.8 most of the time without flash. I only used flash for the cake cutting segment. I...

I am sure you are aware of this but just in case, you do realize that when you change system it is not just getting a new body but you also need to buy lenses, flash and other accessories. This can quickly adds up to a few times the cost of the body depending on what you buy. When I moved from...

I agree with another forum member that this is not a good plan. In fact, I came to m43 system from a FF system and have no regrets at all. Now I take a lot more photos of my young children than before because I bring my camera out with me a lot more often. When you have kids, you really don't...

I finally gotten myself an EM5 recently. Love the small size and OOC JPEG colors. Have been bring it out to shoot much more often than my DSLR. I have tried shooting videos of my kids without much luck. The AF hunts quite a bit when recording video and quite often a moving subject will...

Here are two shots I took recently from a trial GX1: 1) GH2 and Coke taken by GX1+25mm f1.4 (f1.4, ISO160) 2) Beer taken by GX1 + 12mm f2 (f3.2, ISO1600)

Hi HydroPoP Thanks for the suggestion. I installed the Quick Media Converter and it worked! I am quite amazed by how small the output file (MP4) is compared to the original (AVCHD Lite) - its something like 10% of the original. I selected H264 HQ (.mp4) 16:9 as the output option. Leong

Hi I recently bought an LX5 and have been video recording in AVCHD Lite format. I would like to watch the videos on my iPad which only support MP4 format. Any advice on how to convert AVCHD Lite to MP4? I did a search online and was quite confused. Thanks.

We were there around 5:30 m. We were late as there was already a big crowd forming around the pond with some of the people sitting on plastic chairs provided by the eager drink/food vendors there. We had to settle at the corner of the pond which was not ideal.

Wow....Beautiful sunrise shots! The first one is really outstanding. Definitely postcard quality. I was at the same spot a few days ago and the sunrise was no way near yours. Leong

Here is another field review. AF looks promising! http://www.naturfokus.info/EN/

It is highly unlikely that this camera has IS on the body. Most likely it has an built-in electronic level - just like in Nikon D3.

Congratulations on the purchase! How do you find the AF performance compare to the 5D or 40/50D? There is quite a lot of discussion on the dpreview forum on its AF since it is ported over from the 5D. Thanks.

I went to Paris for the first time in Aug this year. Like you I was a bit worry about whether it was safe to bring my camera gear along. When I was there I found that the city was quite safe even for lone traveller. I carried my Lowepro backpack and tripod everywhere I went using the Metro...

Hi Is RGB JPEG format the same as the normal JPEG format of photos we save uisng Photoshop? First time I come across this. Thanks. Leong

Hi Sulhan I was in the course as well. Yeah...I second what you said about the course. The course is really well worth the money. I did not get the chance to talk to you - you were the guy on your knees begging the subject to let you photograph him, right??? Hee...hee.... I am the guy...
