What Olympus really needs is more Micro 4/3rds specific lenses. ]]>Aug 4th 2009 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/
There are probably no (semi-)professional cameras that are less likely to be bought by paparazzi than those two. A paparazzi who expects to be productive with those two cameras is a stupid paparazzi. Not exactly ideal for their kind of work.]]>Aug 4th 2009 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/Aug 4th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/Aug 4th 2009 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/Aug 4th 2009 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/

You should also look at the Leica M8 (M series from Leica which stands for Macho) since I think you need more Macho.]]>Aug 4th 2009 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/Aug 13th 2009 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/Aug 4th 2009 8:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/Ever heard of Zuiko lenses? I bet not, do you know you can use Leica glass with a Pen? Also probably not.. just stop being so ignorant... Yes the 5Dmk2 is a great camera, but these two cameras are for a different purpose, good luck traveling light!]]>Aug 4th 2009 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/Aug 4th 2009 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/Aug 4th 2009 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/1. Optical viewfinder is a thing of the past. If you want one, stick with your 1959 film camera.
2. Built-in flashes are inferior both in power and effect. Thank you for saving some space! I got FL-14 and love it.
3. We need more Micro 4/3 lenses!!!! Where is my super-light mega-zoom lens?
4. Need accessories such as skin-case. Third parties should come up with those.
5. I don't look geeky enough with it. Some 3-D goggles maybe?]]>Aug 4th 2009 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/Aug 4th 2009 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/
Considering that my E-520 demands rather large purse, honestly this is a serious improvement.

Also, EP-1 + 17mm fits my briefcase, if official dimensions are to be trusted. Huge improvement.

Though I'm still waiting for better pancake - long rumored Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. Then I will decide what to get and whether to get into u4:3 at all.]]>Aug 4th 2009 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/
There might just be a Pen in my future after all.

I just wonder how thoroughly ripped off people who rushed to buy an E-P1, and maybe an absurdly expensive viewfinder to go with it, are going to feel. I'm thinking plenty of hard feelings.

As for the Leica, I'm sure the six- and seven-figure-income crowd, and people who buy them for investment purposes, will be delighted. ]]>Aug 4th 2009 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/Aug 4th 2009 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/

As far as the Leica M9, I say it's about time that they made a full frame rangefinder! What took them so long?

* by 'relevant' I mean 'as something I would purchase if I won the lottery**

** I don't actually play the lottery, but you never know]]>Aug 5th 2009 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/magazine-hints-at-olympus-e-p2-before-years-end-leica-m9-for-s/
Panasonic GF1 is closer to what I would like, but EVF should be built in.

Leica M9 - wish it had EVF option, but I doubt it - I think the camera will be just like an M8 but with FF sensor.

Traveling with Canon 1Ds mark3 has been a good experience, especially since I switched from Canon AF lenses to Leica R glass. No more issues with AF! I preview images through live view, get them focused, and then BAM! Image is there! With Canon lens (28-70) I was geting way too many out of focus shots. AF on Canon 1Ds mark3 sucks! Also, the camera is big and heavy. It is a workout carrying it around all day. Maybe mark 4 will fix the AF and loose some bulk and weight?]]>Sep 3rd 2009 7:35PM
