Lorenzo: “I thought you might be interested in knowing I recently took a GH2 to Burkina Faso for my PhD research. I worked with it for a whole year and it always performed well, even with the high humidity levels and terrible fine dust. All my videos here are shot with it in the course of that year:

The guy who wrote the Photofocus review of the Olympus 75/1.8 says (repeatedly) that the lens “has no optical coating.” That’s just ridiculous. Where do they come up with this stuff?
I was confused by that as well…what does he mean? Surely a lens that great and expensive can’t not have an “optical coating,” right?
probably he think ZERO coating means NADA coating
That really is funny. All the new mzuiko lenses use the newly developed….
ZERO (ZUIKO Extra-low Reflection Optical) lens coating.
The 12 17,45,75, all use this new lens coating. If you look at the spec sheet for the lens it will say ….Zero lens coating.LOL This poor soul assumed that meant Zero as in no coating. Priceless.
Gosh! ZERO = Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical, the newest high performance coating from one of the best lens makers in the whole industry, comes across in a review as NO coating! Seriously!? Hope this will be corrected in the review asap, before this FUD hits the fan..! I mean, really!
Better solution for E-PL5 grip is large E-P3 grip. No need to raise the height of the camera when there is a dedicated screw for exchangeable grips.
Tells you that the reviewer wrote up an article from the manufacturer’s press release / media info kit, and didn’t bother to take any pictures.
The rolling shutter on the GH series drives me crazy and really limits how you can shoot with it. The only time it looks good is when it’s stable and shooting slow moving content. Basically it only looks good on a tripod, not moving.
