    So... what do you think about the GX8 size?

    True. I was being a tad trollish. You hear so many comments that M4/3 is so much smaller/lighter than a DSLR etc., but it's not always the case. Nice thing about M4/3 is that you can switch between a weather sales pro body like an EM1 and a discreet pocketable carry everywhere cam like a GM5 and...

    So... what do you think about the GX8 size?

    Camera sizes together: Compact Camera Meter Alongside Pen F and X-Pro 2 and a Nikon D5500 as a DSLR comparison. The GX8 body is heavier than the Nikon! And only marginally smaller than the X-Pro 2. Given that Olympus has packed equally impressive tech inside of the Pen F it's surprising, to...

    What lens(es) to go with OMD M5?

    Thanks Desley Am just looking for anyone who has been in my situation and some real life experiences. Do I stick at the cheap end on the lenses or splash out on something better. I've been using superzoom type compacts for so long now I've forgotten what it's like just using a prime...

    What lens(es) to go with OMD M5?

    Hi all... 1st time posting here. Currently have a Fuji bridge camera and not happy with it's shortcoming. Image quality isn't great, focussing is slow, low light performance is poor. So.... am looking at getting an M5, which should hopefully get me the great leap upward in terms of image...
