Show your mirror less gear

<p>A unified mirror less forum could have quite a show of gear I'm thinking. (:</p>

<p>You mean more camera porn threads here? Not much point with currently available and widely documented and illustrated equipment. Photo.net is generally more about photography than the equipment. Even the Classic Manual Cameras forum features photos taken *with* the cameras, not merely *of* the cameras.</p>

<p>Okay, here's a photo of a <a href="/reviews/ricoh-gr-digital-iv-review">Ricoh GRD4 from a review</a> last year. It's awful cute. Damn fine camera too.</p>

<p>I can't seem to get a post work here. Sorry.</p>

<p>Hmmm, I'd have to work to get all my mirrorless camera bodies into one shot ... so that will come later. Meantime, a couple from the archives:</p>

<p>Very nice pimped up Sony there! (Or is that photoshopped?)</p>

ingenious idea of two selector wheels stacked.</p>

<p>Heh, I got this in late October just before Hurricane Sandy. Here in SE PA the damage wasn't terrible, but there were many downed trees (we were without power for four days). In traveling a day or two after the storm I put the camera on the passenger seat and attempted a few shots out the window as I drove around. More often than not, after a one-handed pickup I would find it in some bizarre display mode from having inadvertently poked some button. I've slowly learned to feel for the upper right corner where there's that little thumb pad. </p>

<p>It's a pretty remarkable little machine and fills the niche between an ancient A80 and my DSLR as I had hoped.</p>

<p>Like Dave, the G15 is also my latest toy as well. I seriously considered an ILC system but decided that I want my compact to be, well, compact without starting another system requiring me to buy more lenses. Mainly because I have very little discipline once I start to buy lenses and other accessories and not having another system keeps me out of trouble. At any rate, the G15 performs beautifully and is quite an improvement in terms of speed over the G12, and the f/1.8-2.8 lens is superb. Needless to say, the pictures are also excellent and this is closer to what I've always wanted a "G" camera to be. I thought I'd miss the articulated screen and while I do once in a while, I don't overall and prefer the slim proportions of the camera instead. This has become the perfect companion to my DSLR; in fact, I've been using it far more than my DSLR. I absolutely <em>love</em> it! Pictured with my G15 is the original PowerShot G1 in all its 3.3 megapixel glory that is actually quite fun to use, but that also makes me appreciate how far digital photography has come in such a short time. It's still a pretty impressive performer some 12-13 years after it was introduced. This one cost me $19.99, a far cry from the original price of $1100!</p><div></div>

<p>Top to bottom (not the best IQ, I know - taken with a Nokia 110 phone)<br /> Panasonic TS2 for the beach, kitesurfing, sailing. The go-anywhere pocket camera.<br /> Panasonic G3 with 25mm f/1.4, most recent purchase and my next step up in photography. Shooting RAW and much shallower DoF possibilities compared to the Canon I was using before.<br /> Canon SX20 IS, only shoots JPEGs but still use it, especially if travelling as the zoom (28-560mm equivalent) covers all eventualities and it takes AA batteries, so no need to worry about chargers, adapters etc.</p><div></div>

<p>Here is my favorite setup for wildlife shooting with the Panasonic G1:<br /> <img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8508/8463126740_1b2f7a36f2_b.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="267" /></p>

<p>Another shot showing how I typically configure it in actual use:<br /> <img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8522/8462027521_b3fa5142e8_b.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" /><br /> Lens is a Canon FD 150-600mm f/5.6L, supported via a Wimberly Sidekick, Markins M20 ballhead and Gitzo 1325 tripod. For more reach I sometimes add the 1.4X or even the 2X converter. For more modest telephoto needs, the Canon FD 300mm f/2.8L is quite nice too.</p>

<p>Jeff, as a G2 user I would like to see some samples with that rig.</p>

[User_1577653]

<p>Sanford, I put a few sample images of birds, bugs, and planets taken with this combo up to my Flicker account here: <br>

<p>Thanks Jeff, amazing results. </p>
