“Today Gold Box deal on the E-Pl6 at Amazon Germany.”
The white E-PL6 with pancake 14-42mm for 350 Euro. A very sweet deal.
Mapcamera ..worth to check! …good site
If you can read Japanese.
Minor nit on the post title — Jono’s used micro-4/3 for 8 years, but the trip is only for one year.
Has anyone else noticed the shutter shock issue in GX8? This is the first I’ve heard of it.
I find it kind of “shocking” that no one has heard of this.
You can see that they saw the same issue: http://www.mirrorlessons.com/2015/10/15/panasonic-gx8-review/
“As is the case with many Micro Four Thirds cameras, you should be aware that shutter shock may occur at shutter speeds between 1/320s and 1/60s”
I never noticed that with any of my 43 cameras, is he serious?
I’ve heard similar about the gx7, but haven’t tested myself
It’s the 14-140mm that’s the culprit here.
I think that because of it’s very light construction it’s susceptible to SS.
Heavier lenses seem to have no problem.
With that lens it seem better to use the electronic shutter to avoid it.
i don’t know if its a weight thing though, because i used the leica 25 1.4 which is probably lighter than the 14-140 without noticing the issue, but yes, still lens related somehow.
