Is the LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm F4.0-5.6 worth it for 340 bucks? I'm thinking yes...

Linedance posted:I have this lens, so I can answer any specifics. For that price it's worth a punt. It isn't great for birds, compared to say a Canon 400mm f5.6, but it does the job. It does a fair job for motor racing pictures if the light is good. As far as feel goes, it feels a bit rinky-dink but that doesn't seem to affect it's operation. The built in stabilization will eat your battery, so you'll need a spare unless you're using Olympus. The 100mm end can actually be a bit long for when you're confined by a barrier, as you can't necessarily stand right up against it and have to wait for space.

If it's stated as delivered you should be good to go. Do an A-Z claim. You got insurance and tracking so Amazon should back you.

Not speaking as an authority for cameras, but for electronics you generally don't want to use anything but ISO as that will evaporate off quickly.

DJExile posted:For what it's worth, the 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro has a button on it that you can default to trigger the "digital teleconverter" (basically halves the size of the sensor), which covers a pretty drat good range and keeps the quality pretty decent. I'll get some comparison pictures up soon if I can.

The sale prior to Halloweens was Summer in late June. Maybe Black Friday/x-mas will help you out but I think the sales are also restricted by refurbished stock.

I want that but I'm going to wait for the new body. The em10 is far too small for that thing; the 12-40 is pushing it even with the grip on. I love having a pocket cam though.

It's telling that you're the only person who advocates for the system, but fyi Olympus and Sony have IBIS that allows for 1/2 second handheld exposures (two years ago) with Panasonic near behind.

With all of you who've moved to the em5mkii, how do you like the focus stacking and the highres shots? I'm currently using the 10 which takes a picture pretty drat well and am planning on upgrading for the em1mkii for the better ibis, stacking, high res shot and probable new sensor. I figure the 5, being so cheap with the Canadian exchange rates, may be worth grabbing for the winter for the high res and stacking shots. I also sorta want to try and dump the 10 while I can still get over 200 for it.

DaNzA posted:Is IBIS that useful in crop body with lower pixel count? Seems like it's not that useful in shorter focal lengths with lower pixel count sensor since the blur isn't that obvious in the first place. Versus something like the 5Ds/R where its pretty much always blurry when pixel peeping unless you are shooting on a tripod.

Fruit Chewy posted:I've been looking to drop around $300-350 on a (probably used) camera because I'm tired of my smartphone, I'm going on vacation, and I collect hobbies. My #1 contender so far is the RX100 because it seems like a wildly good bang for your buck at $200 used for the mk.1. However, I'm not opposed to stepping up a bit on price and size. Does the mirrorless world have anything good to offer me if I don't plan on owning more than one or two lenses ever?

Whatever 25 is sharp as well and if not now, can probably be got for less than 150 when the 1.2 or 1.4 old prime is released this summerish

I was able to handle the oly 300 f4 today. The difference between focus speed and accuracy was quite dramatic between my 10 and the em1 (I really like the EVF and general feel of the 1, cannot wait for the fall and the mk2). Indoors it was quite easy to get 1/10th handheld with the latter. I was also surprised about how small the 14-140 is and sorta wish I had that instead of my cheap 40-150 to just dick around with at the dog park. /e- also that sigma 30 1.4 feels pretty solid.

Solid and the weight is well balanced, imo moreso than the 40-150. Although I did keep pulling the focus ring to manual on accident. I had the lfn set to 2x zoom and that was just fun.

SMERSH Mouth posted:Any Olympus owners here ever have a problem with suddenly losing lens/camera communication? At least, I think that's what was going on with my e-m10. I don't think I've ever looked at the sensor, lens off, and had it centered, mine is usually crooked by a few degrees and off to a side. A bodycap lens if you have one might be a good diagnostic? I'm not sure how well the ibis will be a true representation of itself with a lens off unless you keyed in a manual FL.

Lon Lon Rabbit posted:Are there any good compact systems out there at the moment with a lower end/older body and a decent 50mm or 35mm equiv for under about $600 USD? Prime like that preferred but lovely kitty zoom would do if it's not complete garbage and is within that budget. m43 25mm (50 equiv) 1.8 or 1.7 can be had for ~200 easy and a used or older body under 400. If you go kit I believe the panny is better than oly. The better panny cameras have some cool features which will be good for kid photos like being able to choose a still +/- some seconds from when you actually pressed the shutter.

not everyone must buy a Fuji that enters the thread and I made the same choice RE: feel vs features with Olympus VR a6000. You'll get better AF once you ditch the kit i would assume. I like the Panasonic 20 pancake, the first version but autofocus is slow. If that'll allow you to just throw the camera in your pocket I highly recommend it. Any of the 25s are good.

If you don't mind buying used an em10 or em5 can be found for cheap, probably the pl7 too. There's a PL8 coming out soon which should have the same pricepoint as the pl7 now if you must get new.
