Some of the reviews I read, I admit back when, implied people didn't like the G2 or G3 as well as they had liked the G1.
On a photo trip I went on over a year ago, maybe two years, two women had the G1 (or something, maybe G2). I held it and fell in love with the light weight.And the pictures they showed in class were fine, I couldn't tell they weren't 35mm (well, digital 35mm). Draw back is most of the zooms are wide angle types, while I tend to shoot at 70mm and above. Well, maybe I could buy that body and one lens. I am thinking $2-3,000 for a new system, lenses, et. all. I will look into it. Thanks, Godfrey In a message dated 9/6/2013 11:47:37 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, godd...@me.com writes: On Sep 6, 2013, at 11:15 AM, eactiv...@aol.com wrote: > Second party? Third party? Not sure what to call it. Alternative brand. :-) If you're interested in Micro-FourThirds, the upcoming Panasonic GX7 looks to be a peach of a body but it will sell at $1000. A used G2 or G3 is in your price range. I had the original G1, and it was already an excellent performer. There are a number of excellent mFT lenses available, both zoom and prime. >From very compact to fast and pro-quality. I haven't followed the zooms at all but there are plenty of good reviews.
