I didn't think that there would be a huge difference in DOF between this and m4/3, but given the aperture values on the first two and the distance to subject it does appear to be noticably deeper.
Agree, the bird photo is great, very sharp with nice DoF. First two photos look totally P&S to me, very flat, infinite DoF, lacking that 3D pop which forces you to focus on the subject (those aren't landscape shots). I bet they'd look much better if taken with m43 and Oly 12mm or Panny 20mm.
Since they were taken with the 10-30, a more accurate comparison would be with the Olympus 14-42 :smile:
Review of the J1 in this months Popular Photography magazine is about the most harsh review I've ever seen printed in a major publication.
This is to be expected. Personally, I prefer harsh, honest reviews rather than fluffed up "feel good" reviews :smile:
Interesting, since Popular Photography seems to have become one of those publications that never meets a camera or lens it doesn't like - only some more than others. I'll have to check it out.
I love the Stingray pic! Mostly the composition and reflections , I can see it framed and hanging on my wall! Did you desaturate the colors? or is that just how it came out?
