We’ve finally got our hands on the Panasonic GH2
but only for a short amount of time. With a SLR-style body and considered by many to be the best Micro Four Thirds camera currently out there on the market, the GH2 is a feature packed little beast. As soon as I got my hands on it, I decided to shoot a couple of portraits with it and my Zeiss Biotar 58mm f2
lens. Unfortunately, the Gary Fong Puffer
didn’t want to play nice with the pop-up flash, so that was a no-go and so, we went right into some natural diffused light.

Since our full review of the Olympus EP3 (or E-P3, EP-3, and EP 3) we’ve had inquiries about how the camera fares for use in full street photography. Make no mistake, the camera will not make you a better photographer, but the camera will indeed make many shooting situations a heck of a lot easier to deal with. This posting will chronicle my street photography outings that I had while the camera was on loan to me.

After our Olympus EP3 review, (you guys call it the E-P3, EP-3 or EP 3) we started to get questions in asking us to do tests with Panasonic lenses. I was able to get my hands on the Panasonic 14-42 kit zoom lens and the 20mm F/1.7. Afterward, I did some quick photo tests with the lenses. So are they up to par with the very stellar Olympus lenses?

The Olympus EP3 claims to be a faster focusing camera than even the likes of the Canon 1D Mk IV (review here) according to Olympus’ internal testing. I decided to put the little camera against the next best thing: the Canon 7D. The 7D has some beastly autofocus algorithms and is almost always reliable no matter what. Take a look at the video below and then check out our analysis.

As a proud owner of the Olympus EP-2 (E-P2, or EP2) and after having the Olympus EP-3 (also called the Olympus Pen, EP3, and E-P3) in my hands for a while, one wonders if it’s worth the upgrade. Sure, the Olympus EP-3 does much to make it stand out from its predecessor. However, some features may not be notable enough to current EP-2 owners. So is it really worth the upgrade?
