^ yeah, that mocked up AE-D was basically my dream camera. I don't need the FF sensor the guy put in his "design" but the removable EVF would be epic for me. I rarely use the EVF so it's not needed, but I prefer Oly to Pani in terms of it's RAW files (I had a GF1). So I'll live with it on the OM-D, but the E-P4 might be my ideal MFT body...

Switching between the two I'm thinking that the Olly looks much better especially when looking at the fringe areas. The rocks in the upper right corner look crisp and detailed in the OMD shot and sort of fuzzy on the MkIII. Same goes for the trees in the background and the bushes over to the left.
MFT has less DOF by nature, for landscape work this is actually a GOOD thing. This is with the kit 14-42 oly zoom (newer version) -vs- the 16-35II on the 5Diii though...
District_History_Fan wrote in post #14404358There are a few questions I need to answer before buying and OMD-E5 or Pany G3:
- How is the EVF in low light?
- What are the wireless flash options? ETTL?
- Will Canon respond to the market with a mirrorless that my current EF/EFS glass will work on?
For now, it sure appears that the Oly is one heck of a nice little camera. M4/3 glass selection is also good.
it's good enough. not great but good enough. Not sure, but it has a proper hotshoe so dumb triggers will work for sure. It comes with a very small and basic flash but I think they offer a better option. I rarely use flash though so I'm the wrong guy to ask. And yes, eventually canon will respond, they've said as much. But was the G1x the answer? Will they do a proper EVIL? The EF/EF-s glass thing is secondary though, I can use them on the OM-D if I want. Someone even has an electronic adapter with iris control. Yes, MF but they work. But it's not the point because even the EF-S lenses are MASSIVE -vs- the MFT lenses. The point of this system, at least for me, is the maximum size to quality ratio. It beats P&Ss and DSLRs at that game IMHO.
and yes, I now have a MFT camera again (I still have a NEX5 and had an X100) because the bodies finally caught up to the lenses. Before the OM-D the lenses were there but their sensors were all the same 12mp crappy sensor. It could only do so much. But three years later this 16mp sensor is a LOT better.

yes, landscaping with a rebel works quite well too. The 10-22 is especially good.
delhi wrote in post #14404776I am however not sure if it will have the same ergonomics and agility as a pro-dslr. My type of photography requires quick a reacting camera to change settings on the fly. So far all the mirrorless cameras still feel like a PnS in that regards.
depends on what you're shooting. Any sort of action with AIservo and or tracking and the DSLR wins hands down. But for shooting the family I LOVE using liveview -vs- having a camera pressed to my face. Also, going out or to the beach it's nice to have a smaller camera that people don't notice as much. The tap to focus and shoot is rad. But yeah, for action it's pretty terrible unless you can setup ahead and lock AF and AE.
