David: “Hey, I found a way to make smooth, super-slow, sharp, slow-motion video cheaply! A video test sample is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkb0JtrN0n0&feature=youtu.be (To view it properly, select “1080P” and “full-screen”. It takes a few seconds to switch to the higher resolution and larger size, and you may need to pause the playing to let the streaming get a bit ahead to prevent “stops” in the playing of this video.) I put a half-sizedfull-speed version of the video at the beginning and end for comparison with the 1/8th play speed of the full-sized version between them. The slow-motion version on YouTube still retains much of the original file’s sharpness, even with streaming, but both sharpness and smoothness do suffer a bit compared with the original slow-motion file. The “music” was a quick “cobbling together” of some of my MIDI and bird sound recordings. The camera used was a Panasonic G5, which shoots very sharp 1080-60p video. The lens is a very sharp selected sample of the Rokinon 180-degree 7.5mm fisheye. This was only a test – and it “ain’t purdy”…;-) To find out how I did it, click on “About” on YouTube, and you will know “the secrets”!;-) “

Jan: “I made a comparioson review of a noname Four Thirds to Micro Four Thirds Adapter from china and the original MMF-1 Adapter from Olympus. I thought this might be interesting for your readers. The comparison is on Youtube in English (http://youtu.be/dG9IG9j33Vg) and German (http://youtu.be/YzvRuIvVL10). I posted the full article (in German) on my blog: www.janundseinekamera.de/olympus-mmf-1-vs-noname-ft-mft-adapter-vergleichstest/”
Brian: “This is a sports video shot entirely with the Panasonic GX7 and GM1. The lenses used were the Panasonic 12-35mm and 35-100mm f2.8 zoom lenses. Drake Relays 2014 https://vimeo.com/93013966”
Anonymous: “Not bad at all! “NOTE: Testing the Olympus OM-D E-M1 continues. Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät -photo set was shot entirely with Olympus and FM2000 shots are taken with EOS 5D Mark III. By looking at the pictures you can hardly see any difference (if at all). This guy has three sets of E-m1 images here: http://petrivilenphotography.blogspot.fi/search/label/OM-D%20E-M1”
Paulo: “Here’s a video of a Panasonic rep going over the GH4 and the A500 action camera that also shoots 4K videos. Feel free to embed it on your site if you like.

About the MZuiko45mm f1.8 “vs” Nocticron: in such an indoor shooting there’s such a little difference that the 45mm wins thanks to its price. The difference is much more noticeable when shooting outdoor, when the background is more far away from the subject: there’s a nicer and more 3D pop using the Nocticron.
75mm has a similar rendering but a different angle of view and a stronger compression.
As the author I agree that the Nocticron is a must have lens if you can buy it.
The 75mm is unbeatable in theaters and concerts.
The 45mm is a great little lens at a good price, inside an awful plastic barrel.
As a skeptic to the need for 4k video at this point and time in consumer technology, this video does bring up some good and valid points why it is beneficial to shoot 4k vs. just HD.
