Admin, of all the options you presented, the social media option may initially reduce the number of comments, but one may hope it would improve the overall tone of the discussion.
Anonymous there’s no sense in that, we all had choices, and we chose m43s. Ee could have chosen apsc and didn’t
I liked the useful GH3 review video, but was disappointed by the list of juvenile reader comments on here. Maybe there should be a minimum age limit for commenting…
Grow up man, it’s the way of the internet.
I think the complainers here are a bunch of sissies.
Come on man this is todays society, you’ve contributed to it yourself.
OT
Nowadays people complain about the least bit of critics.
Snap out of it and deal with it. I think people have gotten so selfish and alienated from others they can’t stand anything any more.
When I read of airlines that plan child free area’s or restaurants that plan to prohibit children under a certain age access, I think what sissies people have become.
It seems nobody dares to confront the other with their behaviour and surrounding people let things get out of hand since they are afraid to interfere.
All this you see here on the forum as well. The so called “elite” that think they can say anything to everybody and especially if they are no registered members it’s ridiculous. On the other hand there are passers by that just want to pick a fight.
I’d say ignore them or go frontal attack, but don’t hide.

I reject your philosophy.
Because something has degenerated and “is” does not mean it has to be accepted as a normal. Do you give in to everthing just because it ‘is” If you do your life standards will just deteriorate every day for the rest of your life.
Most people want things to get better, not just “be” or worse.
Plus one hundred.
It’s actually called 4/3 rumors!
It sounds like you are one of them
Nope, I’m not. I think it’s really stupid to brag about a camera you bought. Any idiot with money can buy a camera of any brand it’s not like if you had designed the camera.
Just something short about slidoo: Can’t log me in anymore without the use of facebook, but this is not what i want. used until yesterday the email-adress-login, but this is now forwarding me as well to a facebook login page (on 2 different computer with completely different systems). hope it’s onyl a bug and not a new feature, i will not use my facebook account to login into slidoo!
So somebody forced you into m43s? You didnt have a choice?
A bit after a minute the guy says the gh3 is bigger than the pentax k5, can somebody confirm that?
http://camerasize.com/compare/#187,381
Since it’s apparently about size advantage, how many percent bigger is the K-5’s sensor? 😉
Camera body size should be dictated by ergonomics and also by lens size. If you have the choice between two camera bodies that are nearly the same size and maybe even weight, you surely can offset the extra weight by eating less for breakfast. Let’s not even discuss the marginal size difference.
He also made it clear that with the 2 Panasonic lenses it was half the weight of the K5. So it was a balance between a size big enough to feel right and have well thought out button placement, and weight to carry.
That’s why I said that the GH3 is ridiculous.
Bigger than the k5IIs!! The K5IIs is a much better camera ( Tracking,Built,Hgh ISOS, smaller ( shame on you pana) wheather sealing made in Pentax 77 seals, Small “Limited lenses”, without Aliasing filter, 7fps,IBIS and CHEAPER!!
As far as I can see you do consider that mirrorless cameras’ only advantage is the smaller size.
LOL.
Hardly can understand what are you doing here (FYI it’s a MFT forum)
If you bother to watch and listen to the video all is explained. Why not give it a try.
If you still fail to understand then feel free to comeback, I will explain it for you.
But you must try too take these steps on your own first.
Cannot understand a word. I’ve spoken about something entirely different.
Sorry got it in the wrong spot. I lost my thread as the comment is at the bottom of the page.
There are very small m4/3 cameras for those who prefer pocketable, but there are no Pentax DSLRs much smaller than K5II.
Also, there’s no usable live view in K5II, no usable AF in video, no touch focus, no fast wide primes and the lenses are generally much bigger. So, it’s not of a case of straight comparison between the two, it more depends on what you need.
Kavat the k5 might be the tiniest bit smaller, but with lenses that have the same range and aperture things start to change very quickly.
It is really sad what happened to this beautiful website, just because a bunch of kids using the comment system for their fun.
Admin, I think it is time to shut down comments for a week in order to get rid of these guys.
Get rid of them?? MOST of them are the Olympus Fanboys!!!
great video .. I have a pro photographer friend who asked about M43 after he saw my gx1
this kind of video explain the benefits of the m43 system..and show the basic functionality.
the GH3 is a great camera but too big and expnsive for me, and I do not like the omd design. the next g7 or the ep5 can make good choise.
pentax has no true raw photos. i dont realyy know that, but is something i heard about pentax cameras. please, can someone confirm that?
Pentax uses on-chip noise reduction after ISO 1600. So at ISO 3200 and above, RAW files will already have NR automatically enabled, which you cannot disable. If you can be bothered, you can read about it here:

If on-chip NR is done well, doesn’t take away too much detail, and helps users get better images at high ISOs while minimising PP work, I think it’s a good thing. But if it’s heavy-handed and destroys too much detail, it’s not a good feature, especially since you can’t disable it.
Thats a crap review. He rushed through the whole thing and a farting bit at the end on video? WTF? Rubbish!!
Actually I thought it was quite good. He showed the camera as a user item.
Jai would have shown a picture of it, then had it swinging in his hand and just walking along making Jai type remarks with an occasional crouch and flourish of the camera, (without actually using it).
Some of the others would have gone to great lengths to show good quality in terrible photos and yet others would go to massive lengths to show it will take terrible pictures, especially when used as the demonstrator used it.
As a bit of informative video it worked. I am interested in looking at one now. I was not interested before. I am unlikely to buy one but the video says to me hey, go have a look.
