Should you buy the YAGH for the Panasonic GH4? (Suggestionofmotion).
Collin: “I am sending you a link to an image I made early this morning, with the now ancient E-M5, of noctilucent clouds. I hope you enjoy! http://collinorthner.wordpress.com/2014/06/23/noctilucent-clouds/”
Heather: “We recently wrote an article called ‘Mirrorless Cameras for Professional Work: Where they prevail & where they fail’. Mathieu investigates a number of points we feel all professionals should carefully consider before dropping the DSLR for a mirrorless system. http://www.bestmirrorlesscamerareviews.com/2014/06/24/mirrorless-cameras-for-professional-work-where-they-prevail-where-they-fail/“

Reference the FZ1000 Flickr shots. Try checking out the much maligned (in the past) older Fuji XS-1 shots on Flickr and then tell me FZ1000 shots are any better. Plus the build quality of the XS-1 is superior. Right now the XS-1 is the best bridge camera buy out there. By the way I also own an E5, EM5 and a Stylus 1. Did own top of the line Sony, Pentax and Nikon DSLR’s
Thanks for all the daily camera info.
What about RX10?
I recently purchased the XS-1 for $350 from Amazon, originally it was around $900.
The camera is a steal. Smooth as silk f2.8-5.8 24-624mm lens. Image stabilizer, 2/3 sensor and although not advertised it does have some moisture/dust sealing. The construction is typical Fuji, first class and it feels wonderful in the hands.
When it first came out it got a bad rap due to lens blooming and lens droop, those problems were finally corrected, but a bit late to overcome earlier criticism. Check out all the specs.
No, I know that camera and I really like how it felt in the hand. But now I would want to have at least 1″ sensor size. Also I am more interested in the LX9 at the moment. Bridge or ILC for when I have the feel that such a compact limits me.
With that kind of image quality AND 4K video, this camera is beginning to be more and more of a no-brainer for travel to me. But I’m going to wait and see what the LX8 is like… I’ve had good experience with the LX in the past.
Good idea to give the college festival video some more airplay!
Hey admin, any news of the next Olympus camera? A Em5 replacement maybe?
Collin: that is a beautiful landscape shot. Well done!
I recently picked up the EM-1 for an upcoming trip out to Montana and Wyoming to get some “great outdoor” shots. Will be lucky to get anything that might have a slight resemblance to yours!
Thanks okeemoke! I think you will enjoy using the E-M1. Have a great time in Montana and Wyoming. beautiful country.
Thank you for giving my festival magic video some exposure here…I am always inspired by the videos posted in this section of the blog, so it is an honor!

nice video/documentary about a charming event, I prefer this much above the videos which are just to showoff the gears potential, rather then to tell something about interesting things happening somewhere. makes me wanna join that festival and can talk later about a 3 months or possibly a long time relationship with a japanese dame.
Yes, the smart dame, she’s got a fantastic smile… 😉
