Saw the new Panasonic G9 at the ProFusion show today
In article , Rich
A says... The body is around $2000.00. You mean Canadian dollars? Should be 1700 USD/Euro. The body is indeed big & heavy. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

The body is indeed big & heavy. It's magnesium (to its credit) and like a DSLR so yes, heavy. IMO, this divergence from the original promise of the m4/3rds system (compactness) is probably a mistake. Sony has even kept their FF bodies compact. The sensor size of the m4/3 is inherited from the 4/3 that made the same promise... I had an Olympus Evolt-E300 and it was not compact at all! I turned out that if yu wanted the same brightness, noise and DOF as achieved by larger sensor cams then you had to make and use big lenses with a lot of glass. Lot's of pain but no gain... -- teleportation kills |

One of my friends went to Fuji. When he puts his 100-400 on it, the feel of weight difference is not all that much different from the D500, with the 80-400. I will add that with the Fuji 100-400, is a great lens. -- PeterN |

The point is that the 4/3 and m4/3 have the same silly small sensor size and you don't gain anything with it if you want to maintain IQ. In my opinion APS-C is the smallest sensors for serous photography. Telephones and such are great to have for opportunistic work thou! -- teleportation kills |

In my opinion APS-C is the smallest sensors for serous photography. Some would argue FF is the smallest. But it's B.S. My 1D2, APS-H 8MP takes way better picture than my EOS M, APS-C 18MP. There are newer cameras out there but you still have to shoot within their envelopes! The curves are raver similar actually... https://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Comp...-EOS-M-versus- Canon-EOS-1D-Mark-II___819_431 The big win for the 1D2 is color sensitivity and separation, but you have to study the cams separately to see that in the DxOMark.com data "Serious" photography? You know it when you see it! -- teleportation kills |
