Summilux 15 mm f/1.7 review on LensTip.
Fall and rise of an Olympus OM-D E-M1 (Dpreview forum)
David: “Super-excited to share this short film we recently shot with the Panasonic GH4 – we really think it shows what this camera is capable of! https://vimeo.com/102787724”
West: “Olympus Canada has some deals on right now until August 28. $50 off the OM-D E-M10 and $200 off the OM-D E-M5 or PEN E-P5. Also, if you buy an OM-D or E-P5 camera you can get either $100 or $200 off many of their lenses (4 lens limit) http://www.getolympus.com/ca/en/lens_promotion?icn=topnav&ici=savingsnav_build_system”
Michael: “Wakeboarding video shot entirely on GH4: https://vimeo.com/102602728”
Tobias: “Digitalkamera.de reports about a freeware, that allows your windows PC (or mac via emulator) to use the WLAN interface if the newest PEN and OMD models. Olympus Kameras vom PC aus via WLAN fernsteuern mit Camera Control. The article contains info about the freeware and links to threads on forums about its use. Obviously there is also a link to the software: https://rebs.biz/files/CC-1.0.7-Setup.exe“

The five month old Economist article contains good and bad stuff. It is certainly true that mirrorless cams are mostly threatened by the phletora of users who would never use anything else than their smartphone (this inlcudes a signficant number of affluent people who could buy a new cam any time). The author is also right about Pany and Oly having created a market outside of Canon and Nikon. There, however, a few inaccuracies:
– the first CSC came out in 2009 (Pany GF1)
– image stabilizers existed before (I only found out that Pany had become a camera manufacturer when I looked out for a bridge cam with IS back in 2005)
– there is quite a bit of bias on PDAF
– sensor size: the indicated 30% difference is quite inaccurate. In the case of Cannon that percentage should be 31% and for the ‘rest of the world’ 39%.
Why Lenstip articles for 15mm Summilux repost again ?
I remember I read it before in this forum .
Got articles amendment ?
seems like a nice guy and a thoughtful review but this is a little too late, should have waited to compare the A7s to the GH4 but even that is late.
Also when people say “video looks like video” they usually mean it looks like “bad video” so it’s not as easy as dismissing that comment with “well, it’s video”. Video can look very good and cinematic.
Hi whensley, I actually posted this review a little while ago but it finally got reposted on this site. I also have my review of the A7s up if you want to check that out as well. Next time I’ll try my best to post a review at a more timely manner. Thanks for your feedback.
