Joe: “2014 marked a full year of shooting exclusively mirrorless. This is a collection of my 20 favorite images of the year, all shot with the Olympus OM-D E-M5. http://www.lessgearmorephotos.com/20-favorite-photos-2014/”
Colby: “Just wanted to share this winter-themed video I shot in NYC throughout January. Filmed entirely on GH4 in FHD 200Mpbs 60p mode and conformed to 24p in post. Most shots were filmed on either Canon 24-105mm F4 L or 35mm F2 IS lens using Metabones Speedbooster EF to MFT. Hope you enjoy it. http://vimeo.com/118384332”
Izhar: “I’d love you to add to “a bit of everything” this short film shot in anamorphic with the GH4. https://vimeo.com/116503773“
Groucho: “http://portostreetshooting.blogspot.com/ My name is Ricardo Porto and I shoot strangers in the streets of Porto, Portugal. I’ve been doing it for the last 4 and a quarter years, a hobby turned crusade. I always shoot alone and most of my pictures are posed portraits. I choose people that I find interesting and I ask them for a pic. They usually say yes. I have one camera, one fixed lens, two batteries, one gray card and one lenspen and this is the only gear I use. No backpack, no photo bag, no tripod, no flash, no mega-zoom. I usually walk the same city areas, mainly downtown, but as I like it to be kind of random, I never prepare my photowalk in advance. I publish daily on my blog and all portraits are captioned with the place where they were taken and a brief description of what caught my attention.“

“My name is Ricardo Porto and I shoot strangers in the streets of Porto, Portugal. I’ve been doing it for the last 4 and a quarter years, a hobby turned crusade” is most certainly the most awkward and unfortunate introduction I have ever read.
I am surprised at the lack of comment on Cameralabs excellent review of the ZS50 travel cam with surprisingly good results. I was amazed that inspite of its long reach ie 24-720mm (4.3-129mm) and f3.3-6.4 lens what it was capable of producing at the long end. Seems that in good light with auto shutter speed of 1/160th sec, F6.4, and ISO 80 and 720mm equivalent focal length some reasonable sharp pictures were taken even with people walking! In poorer light the ISO could be boosted up to ISO 400 so still little problem. The star picture was a tack sharp one of a sea gull taken at 1/800 sec, f7.1, ISO 100 at 720mm. This seems to illustrate the 5 axis image stabilization is very effective to permit lower shutter speeds equal to the focal length of the lens while for sharpest pictures at max zoom use 1/800 sec and vary the ISO in poorer light as required by up to ISO 800.
Still in image comparisons on DPR I would love to see a travel cam with the very good 1″ Sony sensor. Ie the coming G3X might be very interesting indeed for image quality but I would want such a camera with a EVF or at least a swivel screen but in no way would such a camera be able to be portable and compact as the ZS series.
