I don't doubt the reviewer's frustration with the AF. But I'm shooting street, so I'm not looking for pixel peeping perfection. On the other hand, I'm shooting street, and the AF fast enough for me. D On 25/10/2012 8:24 AM, Darren Addy wrote: On Wed, Oct 24, 2012 at 4:20 PM, Derby Chang

I looked up his E-P1 review. He said there were not enough lenses and that he recommended that you buy a Leica M instead. Seriously. On Mon, May 30, 2011 at 1:10 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > On Mon, May 30, 2011 at 9:38 AM, Bob W wrote: >> Incidentally, thanks to everyone who has commented. >
