This is shaping up to be a very impressive camera. It’s a beast – size wise it’s as big width wise as a APS-C DSLR (though it is thinner). Grip is the most comfortable I’ve had in M43s including the G5. I can imagine holding this for hours without it being uncomfortable. The viewfinder is …

E-M5 and Panasonic 35-100mm – Final Thoughts
Having given the lens a good write up but its combination with the E-M5 less of a blessing, I decided to renew my acquaintance with the lens plus E-M5 in some half decent light. To the handling. It still isn’t great, but you may be fine. Looking at the way I hold the E-M5, the …
Panasonic G5, 12-35mm and 35-100mm in Whitecross Street Market (plus Royal Exchange and Trent Park)
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, …
Panasonic 35-100mm first impressions
I nearly managed to name this 35-100m first impressions which makes it sound like I was reviewing a swimming pool… In any event this turned up just before I went to work this morning so I thought I would take it for a spin. Overall I was impressed, but I think for some people they …
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 …
Autumn flowers
It feels like the garden is about ready to dump its leaves and die back for another year. In the meantime, the rather wonderful purple flowers in one of our borders deserve a post. Olympus E-P3 and Panasonic 20mm lens
St Matthew’s Day at the Guildhall
This lunchtime I walked down to the London Guildhall to eat my lunch. When I arrived I could see some kind of event was in progress. Judging by the Rolls Royce limousines parked in the corner, the Lord Mayor was talking part. It turned out the event happening was the end of the annual St …
A circuitous walk to the Millennium Bridge with my G5
So today at lunchtime I wandered down to the “wobbly” Millenium bridge with my G5. I used my 12-35 and 7-14 with it. I have a suspicion that I prefer the output from the G5 to the E-M5 (sacrilege). Certainly it has worse DR, it isn’t as well screwed together, but it is fun to …
London Wall by Tower Hill
So I should probably mention at the outset that the main offices of the firm I work for are on London Wall. A street in London named after the wall that used to surround the historic city of London. I hadn’t given it too much thought to be frank. Today I was looking for ideas …
Olympus 45mm – Comparisons Continued
So, I’ve always thought this lens was priced about right. That sounds a bit harsh, but it isn’t meant to be. I always felt it was a slightly soft portrait lens that looked worse on the E-M5 than the E-P3. After all, it couldn’t be too bad, I had still managed to get results like …
