K Wai english speaking nice, liek it! but hehe no Pork! 😀
GF2 is more serious? Don’t agree
K.Wai commented EP > GF more fun whereby can play filter 😀
Is the 17mm really rubbish? I can buy a new one for €150,- at the local store. I thought it was a bargain….
Where can you find the 17mm so cheap, i m really interested!
It was at http://www.fotohanskeuzekamp.nl/product_detail/409/249/olympus-17mm-/28-pancake.html
But i see it is the normal price again….
Another stellar performance by Kai W; I was very impressed by his lens swapping juggling, amazing dexterousness!
I like Kai W comment the ways he screw the lens or camera reputation 😀
MFT cameras ….need better high ISO performance , less noise overall and built-in VF. Unless we demand those simple things they will never offer it.
marketing admin never listen to consumer, Engineer never listen to marketing admin, manager never listen to engineer, ceo never listen to all. that is the problem i guess lol 😀
So eagle to know how much X100 Fuji already have preorder worldwide. fixed lens camera with 70% Leica look and higher selling price. Interesting!
Fuji’s attractiveness are for
1. bigger than M43 sensor(important for printing at 17 x 24 inch size)
2. not much bigger camera body(pocketable is important, or professionals can take Full frame DSLR)
3. built in finder(crystal clear optical finder is important)
4. one cute package, seemed to be well made all metal camera body.
5. Fast lens, very sharp(better than Olympus good enough 17mm F2.8 lens)
6. Reasonable pricing compared to Leica and Olympus(if add the fast lens and finder in)
Actually, Olympus should make a E50 DSLR in Leica M6/Olympus OM-1N size to compete with Fuji.

Don’t forget the in-body stabilization of Olympus. It’s very important to minimize size and weight when you have multiple lenses. An EVF is important for serious work, so an evaluation of the EVF should also be included.
Otherwise, this is a fun, casual video.
I love their videos, ever since they got Kai W on board.
Shep is right, the in-body stabilization was the deciding factor for me when I purchased my Olympus. I completely disagree that the Olympus is any less ‘professional’ because of the art filters. That is rather a ridiculous statement to say. Personally, I think both are excellent cameras. Both are designed beautifully, and have great camera control placement on the back. However, because I am a Canon shooter, I prefer the Olympus’ placement of the wheel on the back of the camera. Both Canon and Olympus have that same similar feature, and my thumb is so used to going there to adjust shutter speed. I’d like to hear exactly how the Panasonic is more professional. 🙂
