Ooops, haven't looked in for a week and didn't realize this thread went on longer.
Very tempted by the GX7, but it is pricey. My preference is not to be an early adopter, but buy a camera after it's been out for a while. And gone down in price. Or you can get it used. Whatever. I now have no camera (except an older version Optio) -- Canon camera and lenses are gone. Ditto what you said, larger crop factor, shorter and lighter telephotos would be a big boon for me. Though it would be odd to switch from a DSLR. Marnie aka Doe :-) In a message dated 9/8/2013 9:54:05 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, a...@pobox.com writes: <shrug> Some people regularly claim that they want FF over APS-C due to wide-angle versus crop-factor -- given that Marnie didn't even know that m4/3 has 2x crop factor compared with APS-C's 1.5x, I think it was entirely reasonable to mention the wide-angle issue. I certainly don't think it'll play a significant role in her decision given her telephoto preference (or if it does, it'll have a reverse significance). Side note: most of my shooting is also telephoto (except for macro), so I'm definitely not grinding any axe favoring wide-angle and I consider the m4/3 crop factor a plus myself because it makes for lighter and smaller telephoto lenses. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
