for camera body?

Thank you. I will look up the shop

which is good investment for m43 camere n got wide selection of lens?

im thinking either this 3 brand..

panasonic gf3
olmypus ep3
nikon v or j version


any opinion guys?

Nikon 1 is not m34 formatted system, not even close to it. It has only a tiny sensor.

Since Olympus and Panasonic are both in m43 format, they actually share the same mount, so you can actually you a Lumix Leica on Olympus's Pen and vise verse. Panasonic has been emphasizing in simplifying so that customers will be happy shooting with its AiAF mode, (The new GX1, however, does focus more on manual controlling). While Olympus PEN offers you more variety. If you want more access to the camera, EP-3 will be good enough to grant you all the controls. EPM-3 and EPL-3 are simplified brothers of EP-3 so it's more like GF3.

To me, Olympus's lenses serves my photography purposes well, with smoother manual focusing and real metal finishing. Panasonic seems to offer much automated lenses like its recently announced Superzoom X line-up, (Olympus does that too with the new 12-50mm). But as I said, they are interchangeable so either brand you go into, you can use lenses from both brands.

If your need is just to get a camera with compact body and interchangeable lens, why not consider Sony NEX which offers you even more superior image quality? It has a DSLR-sized APS-C sensor and wide range of lenses from Sony A-mount via adapter and you can use many epic and classic manual lenses. Some people even said that Sony NEX-5n and NEX-7 is Leica M9 for poor man. You can use Zeiss lenses, Voigtlander lenses and Leica lenses on NEX via cheap adapers and turn than into superb manual camera.

Anyway, if you are keen in m43, take my 5 cents above and you should be able to see what's good in both brands.

ahh i tot nikon is m43

should read more bout new nikon 1


owh.. that mean m43 camera mount can use any m43 lens? correct?


so sony also can use pana n olympus lens?

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Mid-range DSLR (body).
Budget: Below 2.5k perhaps? I haven't really set a budget yet.
Your Location: KL/Kedah.
Preferable brand : None.
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape mostly.
Any specific models in mind? : Had an eye on the Nikon D90 for a while, but then, yeah, seeking opinion for other same-tiered cams.
Any specific features u want? : Best sensor I can get for the price perhaps? Lens isn't a matter right now first -I'll maybe settle on the kit lens till I can start raking in some income. And oh, yeah, second-hand-sellers are welcome too.

Thanks guys :D.

Olympus and Panasonic shares the same mount so their lenses are interchangeable, but Sony's NEX APS-C sized so their lenses are best customized for APS-C. You can also mount a m43 lens on NEX via adapter but I believe it will be cropped.

Since you mentioned you are looking on D90, then you would probably know that D7000 and Pentax's K5 utilized same sensors manufactured by Sony, which Sony used on A55. It's rumored that the coming Nikon D800 will share the same sensor with Sony's future fullframe, which is manufactured by Sony as well.

Sensor plays an important role in landscape because of its dynamic range. Sony's sensor is well-known for its excellently performing dynamic range. You should get a very rich color, high details in both highlight and darkness from Sony's SLT.

Added on January 2, 2012, 11:44 amYou asked about mirrorless at first, and you asked about DSLR. They are basically 2 different systems. Both and do well in landscape & portrait.

Depends on what brands you prefer. I would personally recommend you into Sony since I'm a Sony user, but some sifu in forum will also recommend others like Canon and Nikon. All can do landscape and portrait well. Some claims that Canon performs better in portrait and Nikon performs better in landscape. I would say that no such thing exist, as all are digital cameras which its colors are actually digitally processed. So if you are going into DSLR (DSLT for Sony), I would say all brands are good.

But if you want to graba mirrorless. I will only recommend Sony NEX and m43 from Panasonic and Olympus. Nikon 1 is just not worth the money.

It's about AUD$550 here, same price as G12. I'm a sucker for G12 actually, but didn't know it's the same price as S100. I might consider both, and I'd prefer to play around and have a feel of both cameras before I decide. And S95 too. Thanks for the recommendation

see if it useful for you:

True, the part about Sony (Minolta) producing sensors. Kay, I'll look into the DSLTs, thanks neways!

Not worth AT ALL. You can get good image from D3000 with the APS-C sensor. And you want to trade it for a tiny baby sized sensor?

Image Quality= NEX-5N
Speed= P3

Hmmm... but prob is d3000 too bulky for me.... ;(
mayb i shld consider & weight the need of camera type for me..tks..

If weight is a problem and you are considering a smaller body, go for Sony or m43 instead.

but if i get other brand, i may not get that high value to trade in my d3000.... hmmm....
