What's there to consider? Super fast...and the cheapest Leica* you can get. It's a bargain! I'm getting it once budget allows.

But you know you want the bokehliciousness of the 25mm
The Leica 25mm is singing to you! "I KNOW YOU WANT ME"

I think a fast lens make a bigger difference.. IMO. And I have really shaky hands.. dang. Mom tell me don't fap too much I didn't listen.. sigh

You probably want a zoom lens for travel rather than 1 prime only. If you have an assortment of primes then yeah.

I tried walking around with only the 14mm Panasonic.. was when I saw something far I wanted to capture, I couldn't walk closer because, well, I can't walk on water.

Interested in EPM2 in white? Considering to let mine go and get an OMD instead...

There's ALWAYS something around the corner. Buy it when you need to use it, not when something new is out.

Digital stuff always go obsolete after a year or so.

That being said I'm considering to let go my EPM2 and get the new E-P5..LOL.. yes its the same sensor but the body so much nicer.

After getting my Panasonic 14mm.. I shoot with nothing but it.. and I wish I had more manual controls on my EPM2 AND an optical viewfinder..I just don't like shooting via the digital screen.

EM5...is big..GX-7 looks..ugly...(sorry) I'm attracted to the Fuji camp..how ah.. shit..that X100S is so sexy

How come Olympus Malaysia don't sell the EPM2? Hmm. Anybody looking to get into the game? I'm selling my EPM2 Useful as a backup body.

Yes, prime lens your only zoom is your feet. Whether it is "enough" or not, depends on you. For me, I use a 14mm prime lens on my EPM2, so its very small setup.

I like the focal length and it is enough for me.

EDIT: Don't buy the 20mm because of its high resale value, go for the lens you want. And what you want depends what kind of pictures you take. I take pics with my camera for travels, so wide angle is good enough, further stuff can crop.

You look freakishly happy in the picture. Like your idea of using iphone light.

My Olympus E-PM2 with 14mm pancake is still too "big" for me.. haven't been using it for a while.. look like I have to get something smaller.

Considering to sell cheap cheap..and grab a P&S that can fit in pocket instead.

You evil professor. You read my mind. The latter 2. As for the system, apart from the kit lens I only have the 14mm pancake, so I am not in too deep..almost bought the PanaLeica 25mm back then.

Either the RX100 m2 or the G7X, both same price bracket. Leaning towards the Sony, cause I want a P&S, less manual controls -- GF will use it rather often.

Thanks for the info. Leaning towards the RX100 m2 cause its cheaper than the mark 3 significantly. EVF not really necessary for me since using it as a P&S. Love the tilting screen.


Got to skip the GM1.. E-PM2 is already very small compared to a lot of mirror-less cameras. The lens just protrudes. No choice. With the 14mm pancake.. can only fit in my jeans that are loose cut with deep pockets.

Went and mess around with the RX100m2, m3 and G7X over the weekend. Handling wise I like the RX100 series, and the EVF is damn sweet. G7X didn't feel as premium as the Sony in terms of handling. Solid but just a little lacking. The extra knob on Canon will help for manual shooters, I'm getting it for P&S.

That being said, I took some test pics and compared pics online, Canon's skin rendition didn't look as good as Oly, and the Sony looked a little cool in terms of color. Seems that overall color I prefer Olympus, with only Fuji beating it.

Now the question is m2, m3 or G7X. Leaning towards the RX100s cause corner sharpness of G7X not that great, so the focal length benefit didn't seem that obvious.

Price difference.. M2 cheapest, followed by G7X and m3 most expensive.... For the price of m3 can get used x100 but it's too big. FML.

Breathtaking. On a tripod?




I prefer the Olympus colors over the Sony, but man the EVF is sweet.. and everything in such a small package. Touch to focus is missing on the RX100 cause no touch screen... One of the features that I use.
