Photo Sharing: Mirrorless

[HPS3]

Thanks Pea-n-Me! I haven't decided if I really like this lens or not. The bokeh is great and it's pretty sharp, but I don't really like the focus ring. It's really stiff and has a long distance. I find that I use manual lenses mostly unless I really need AF. I just ordered a Helios 44-2 58mm f2 for $40. I hope it's sharp. It's an old Russian lens that makes some interesting bokeh.

William, thanks for the comment. I really enjoyed shooting with the fisheye this past trip.

DW just got a Nikon J1 and is really liking the camera. She is hesitant to post here but I thought this shot taken at our local arboretum was really good!

Has anyone seen a comparison article yet? I am just starting to look at these and really want to make a good decision.

I know that Trey Radcliff is raving about the NEX and there is a huge buzz over the new Olympus...

Mike, that's a great job considering the lighting in Chef Mickey's. We ate there on our last trip and my photos were a disaster. I had the hardest time dealing with the lighting.

I had that same problem, that corner I was in was horrible as far as lighting. I got a few good ones, a few decent that I was able to save in PP and then mostly some not so good lol. I was in a whirl wind the whole meal, sat down, character,diaper change, get food, another character,try to eat and adjust settings, here comes another character, try to stop my little one from throwing food on the floor, smile here comes Mickey, finish eating, here is your bill lol. I was surprised I got any to tell you the truth.

One consideration would be lens selection. I'm not too knowledgable about the Sony lenses but Olympus and Panasonic have some really wonderful lenses (some a bit pricey) available now or soon for the E-M5

I have the Nex 7 and love it. I haven't used he OM-D but think its a great camera. I chose the Nex for APS-C sensor, focus peaking, Tri-Navi controls, and size. On the Nex, I sometimes use the LA-EA2 adapter with alpha mount lenses which turns the camera into a DSLR. I also use plenty of old manual focus lenses on it which is my favorite. The focus peaking and assist makes manual focusing easy. I haven't used any M4/3 cameras so I don't know much about them. As far as lenses go, the Nex can adapt to almost every lens ever made via adapters and manual focus. I find that there are enough lenses in Emount for the average person, plus there are more coming. Sigma and Tamron have started making lenses for the Nex line. The only thing I love about the M4/3 is the in body stabilization.

Harry, you ever thought about jumping to a full frame camera eventually?
