    <p>Great shots, Sanford! I particularly like the 2nd one.</p>

    <p>Last week I sold my D7000 and some lenses and got the VF-2 Viewfinder, Olympus 9-18mm and 40-150mm lenses. Now I'm light as can be for my travels to Egypt next month :D</p>

    <p>I definitely agree that the DSLR is feeling awfully heavy these days. I'm away from home for a month (precursor to a 7 month deployment) and I only took my Nikon D7000 to see how cumbersome it would be - wow does it ever feel like a cinder block after awhile! I'm using lightweight lenses too, no hefty f/2.8 zooms in my bag at'all...</p>

    <p>My E-P2 is a great camera and I really wish I brought it with me. Perhaps the D7k will find its way on to the auction block sooner than later :/</p>

    <p>3 cheers for m4/3!</p>

    <p>I've used mine in light rain without any problem. I wouldn't expect many cameras to have issues in light rain though. Snow is a different story, but not much of an issue either. Just carry a fine brush with you to get any snow off of it after you shoot and make sure you put it in a sealed bag of some sort prior to entering the warmer temps of a car or home.</p>

    Help... I couldn't get Crisp image for landscape with Nikon d5000 + 3 examples

    <p>Your first image simply looks like it isn't in focus. Seeing as your other two shots are in focus, I would say the first image is just user error. Other two shots look perfectly fine, not sure what the problem is with them other than diffraction. Sure they could use some post-processing to increase sharpness and contrast, but that is quite normal. </p>

    <p>If you want your shots to come out differently straight from the camera, play with the image style settings until you reach something you like; to me it seems like you would like your camera set to Vivid w/ +7 sharpness, +1 contrast, -1 saturation. I usually leave my camera in Standard w/ +5 sharpness, 0 contrast, -1 saturation</p>

    E-P3 review

    Important to mention that isn't a traditional review such as you would find here on photo.net. Nice high iso shots in that review. If

    anyone is unaware of 43rumors.com that is also a good place to find info on new cameras such as the ep3.

    <p>Welcome to Olympus, J. I'm sure you'll love your camera more and more as the days go by. Although, I've never heard anyone complain about having to take off a lens cap, LoL.</p>

    <p>I'll add my 2 cents, keeping in mind Frank's observations...</p>

    <p>1) I concur that the 20mm f/1.7 is the best currently available m4/3 prime. Most of my pictures have been taken with it and I will not be switching to the 25mm when it comes out. I prefer the slightly more usable 40mm effective focal length.</p>

    <p>2) I have a different take on this than Frank. I have a Nikon adapter and rarely use it. I find the lenses to be too big and manual focus is a slow, painful process.</p>

    <p>3) I use the FL-36R. It isn't too too big and works wonderfully.</p>

    Nikkor 35mm 1.8 AF-S or a Nikkor 50mm 1.4G?

    <p>I actually had the Tamron 17-50 VC version when I owned a D90. It was a very nice lens, but I ditched all my DX stuff and got a D700. Then I ditched FX and got an Olympus E5. Now Im coming back round the circle with my D7000 and find myself wanting this lens again. DRAT!!! Silly? Perhaps, LoL.</p>

    <p>IMHO, the 35mm 1.8 is a must have for all DX owners. It is far too good and far too cheap not to buy it. It is great for indoor 3/4 portraits and small, non full body, group shots with about 3 or 4 people; however, If I was shooting a lot of groups, I would probably get a 24mm prime. If you don't have the cash for the 24mm f/1.4G, the older 24mm f/2.8D is a fine lens.</p>
