It all started with
Micro Four Thirds , but now just about everyone is jonesing to play along in the mirrorless camera game. The crew over at
Serious Compacts managed to get ahold of quite a few contenders (Samsung's
NX10 , Sony's
NEX5 , Olympus'
E-P2 and
E-PL1 , and Panasonic's
GF1 ,
GF2 and
GH1 ), and rather than taking 'em apart one by one, they've decided to size 'em up in a fantastic size comparison piece. From lenses to bodies, all six cameras are shown from various angles, and even if you've convinced yourself to not be in the market for one of these bad boys, the eye candy alone is worth a peek. Furthermore, the group has been entered into a telling ISO comparison test, but if you came here looking for a spoiler, you'll be sorely disappointed. Tap those links below to get your study on, won'tcha?
