thanks to dicam for posting the link here. okay, about the shakes and yes they were there. The tiger shot was my experiment with the 90-250 manual focusing. While turning the ring, I didn't do it nicely but rather hastily because there was a crowd behind us and you know, didn't want to annoy...

I wonder what's so wrong about the E3; having the almost the same Dynamic "Range" as 40D and better than A700. In total (add up all areas), it scored better than Sony but yet get "just" - I'm puzzled as many.

I have some samples of half body portraits here: To get shallower to isolate: ZD 50mm f2.0: ZD 50mm f2.0: 30mm f1.4: 30mm f1.4: Now, to get Deeper to include: 14-54mm~ 14mm, f2.8, 1/250, ISO 200: These are some samples of DOF of 4/3. So, deeper or...

This is what you could do after being to desert, just like our friend, Wong_SE did to his E-1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmoskUtCnoY

I think many have misunderstood here. When we use lenses designed to cover a specific sensor, eg. FF lens on FF sensor, DX lens on a APS-C sensor or 4/3 lens on 4/3 sensor, there should be no cropping. We don't say that a 1Ds FF is cropped when we use a Medium format lens because they are...

No one has tested the D300 Liveview yet, especially, the additional AF mode in Liveview without the need to flip the mirror aka contrast detection, is quoted needing "Tripod". So, looks like it's quite technically challenging to achieve good PnS like AF on DSLR yet.

guys, SSWF activates only during powerup and there's no audible noise. The noise during power down is only when we turn IS on. Turn IS off before switching the cam off, there'll be no noise. It's a mechanism to 'park' or recalibrate the IS I suppose.

You are right tomcat. Having to press the AEL/AFL for AF in B mode is a bit awkward. This mode in E-330, very much resembles the LV in E-510, but not as fast. I usuall use A if AF is needed, and MF in B mode. That's why, not to be confused: Liveviews: E-330 Mode A : AF as normal...

On E-510, the mirror flips down for focusing even if you turn preview off in Liveview. In Liveview, half-pressing the shutter does not invoke the AF. It must be fully depressed. If you want to AF without needing to take a snap, use the AEL/AFL to trigger the AF and this will also causes the...

Samples of 35-100mm f2.0 (not by me): More here in this review: http://zs2.hu/csgzsfoto/technical/lenses/bigguntest_en_35100.html

Congrats to drakon! See, I told many, the E-410 is really poisonous. ;)

Not forgetting those ICs, PCB boards, and the AF motor in all the current new lenses.

One more - everyone else is coming up with digital specific (uncropped*) lenses. * in simpler term, uncrop means, if you can mount it on anything bigger than it's intended sensor size, there's serious vignetting.

I think there's no crop for ZD lens to the current 4/3 DSLRs' sensor. At least, it's not designed to be 'cropped'. There is if: 1. OM lens on 4/3 bodies (2X crop) 2. Sigma DG lens on 4/3 bodies (2x crop) 3. Sigma DC lens on 4/3 bodies (1.3x crop)

On the other end, the difference is greater. Compare Sigma 200-500mm f2.8 vs Zuiko Digital 90-250mm f2.8, both gives the same angle of view on 35mm film and 4/3 bodies: Sigma 200-500 f2.8 EX DG Zuiko Digital 90-250 f2.8 ED: Anyway, both are not light weight to me :)
