If you dont really need AF, you can go for manual lens, such as Canon FD 50mm F3.5 Macro, dirt cheap.

Olympus camera is very good in almost everything nowadays, besides the AF-C Tracking still pretty weak, even the new Olympus PEN-F.

Not sure about the AF-C Tracking accuracy in Panasonic.

continuous tracking works fine when I shot KL City GP, but then I presume that scenario are easy ? Large car, clean background ?
shakehead.gif  S7 can beat RX100, wow

I wonder is it possible for them to have new body/mount but adopt back m4/3 lenses ? I'm generally satisfy with em1 IQ, just wish noise performance could be better. If can, no noise at all even at ISO1600  biggrin.gif  , no need super high ISO as rarely go above 1600

I use my EM5 AF-C tracking to photograph my son running in park, no way the focus will nail.

By using A7II, boom, nailed on!

Could be EM-5 is really old. But thecamerastoretv YouTube also complaint about Pen-F AF-C tracking is not working.

Thank you! I will be visiting the shop this weekend then biggrin.gif No sales season for cameras right?
Got quoted 1899 at the camera shop in Midvalley (near KFC). I will take a look at the official Olympus store. Thank you!
Thank you for your input! But, if I read correctly, the E-PL7 is compatible with the Olympus EVF's right?

You can also try this contact, i bought my OMD EM5, Sony FE28F2 and Sony FE55F18 from them, the best price among other sellers.

Was thinking what if I setup 3-4 flash gun high up at corner, set to slave mode and since no TTL or RF, it require optical RC to trigger. Line of sight should not be problem since will be facing outward, just scare sensor cant pick up flash trigger from main camera flash ( master ).
Or I should straight bought few pair of RF receiver  laugh.gif

Would these setup feasible and useful for covering event ( townhall, wedding day or dinner )  hmm.gif

You can use this cheap Radio trigger instead of IR - http://www.viltrox.com/en/index.php?m=inde...&cid=140&id=115

Wide angle converter seems interesting, how does it work? But won't have more distortion? hmm.gif

You need to get good quality converter, such as bro Bobds78 is using Ricoh GW1 (i sold to him) and the quality is very good.
Dont waste time and money to those cheap converter.

saw amazon got selling GW-2 and pana GWC-1 at <$120/ea.
GW-3 how much you gotten it?
*
GW3+GH3 Around RM750, from Taobao.
GW2+GH2 RM550 from Japan (still with my cousin in Japan)

You plan to use GW2 with which Pana lens? 14mm?
GW2 rear thread size is 43mm and 14mm filter size is 46mm. I afraid you will get vignetting if you connect with step down ring.

Go for actual lens better. Wide conversion lens not cheap.
Unless you have GR to pair with then you can use for multiple cameras and lenses.
