    Best Micro 4/3 Cam and Lenses for Wildlife Photography & Max Zooms for Micro 4/3?

    On current m4/3 cameras from panasonic, there is an option for using a smaller portion of the sensor for jpg only images. That acts a little like zooming in on the image in the viewfinder before taking the picture, and often results in better AF on distant birds. Disclaimer: I usually forget...

    I know it is a little more expensive, but I am really waiting for some feedback on the new G7. Will the DFD focusing make the focusing that much faster with a lens like the 100-300 (said to be more effective at long focal lengths)... Niels

    The G5 is an older version (G7 is just being announced) and in sensor quality probably roughly corresponds to the model I have (I have the GH2 which is even older). Is that the model Jim has been using? Niels

    Dean, I think you have misunderstood something regarding mFT: all cameras worthy of that designation use the same size sensor. I agree with you regarding the field of view for a given lens depending on the sensor size. It is actually possible to use a canon lens on a mFT camera also, see...

    Best Micro 4/3 Cam and Lenses for Wildlife Photography & Max Zooms for Micro 4/3?

    I am another person using the lumix 100-300. I use it with an older GH2. Notice that Panasonic is close to announcing a new G7, which should have the 4K video and the DFD focusing that until now have only been available on the GH4. Olympus have announced development of a prime 300 mm lens that...
