Dear all
I'd welcome some views. I changed to my Pen EP2 with EVF earlier this year when I traded in a Canon 450D and Pen EP1. Since then I've invested in a number of MFT lenses. I was not happy with the IQ from the Canon and much prefer the IQ from the Pen.
I am setting myself a challenge to get my photos up to stock library standards (landscapes and seascapes mostly). The rest of my photography is family use, although in the past I shot weddings on Bronica gear for a local photographer and I might consider doing so again on digital.
I'm torn between getting a second MFT body (I like the G2 as it would give me more of traditional DSLR feel, useful for taking photographs at Motocross) or reinvesting in DSLR system on a small scale. Given my experience with the Canon, I'm veering towards Nikon and have been looking at the D3100, D5000 and D90 with the standard VR range of lenses (rather than high quality glass).
To coin a phrase, I used to be indecisive, now I'm not really sure! I've read various blogs and a range of reviews and handled the cameras, but they've only served to confuse me. My summary would be that MFT IQ is very good, but DSLR sensors have a wider sensitivity range and the larger sensors can capture more detail and that Nikon handles noise better at high ISO.
I'd welcome your thoughts, particularly if you are using both Olympus and Panasonic or using a DSLR as well as MFT as to the relative strengths/weaknesses of each.
Many thanks
Mark
