This started out as a post which was designed to re-run my comparisons with the 35-100mm and the E-M5 with the G5. First impressions with the E-M5: http://wp.me/p2wMAg-g9 Further images with the E-M5: http://wp.me/p2wMAg-ge I thought I could do that quickly over the weekend via a trip to the park. Of course the weather and life intervened, …

Nighttime photography with the Panasonic G5
I’ll be honest, I was expecting this to be a “aha, I’ve discovered the G5 is significantly worse than the E-M5 piece”. The summary is that it isn’t as good at high ISO, but that it is good enough for real world use for most purposes (and is certainly much better than cameras with the …

Olympus 45mm – Comparisons Continued

So, I received a new Panasonic G5 in the post yesterday. The story behind this is that there was an amazing offer that I picked up via the DPreview forums for a body at £419. This isn’t much more than a G3 sells for new so I jumped at the chance. I really want it …
