I've read complaints here about how noisy the shutter on the K20D is. I've had Nikon and Canon users complement me on how silent it is. This is the K20D not the K-5, the grass is always greener, as they say. On 1/23/2014 5:47 PM, Igor Roshchin wrote: I saw one two weeks ago, at Denver Fus

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 is indeed a looker, although some seem to prefer the looks of the E-M5 more (it's smaller and has less of a grip). Both are excellent cameras. I prefer the larger camera for the superb ergonomics it affords, it's improved viewfinder, and many other details of its design. T

I saw one two weeks ago, at Denver Fusion Exchange. Rob Studdert mentioned OM-D E-M1 to me and Larry last month, referring to a photographer using it for shooting some latin dances, and the quick AF that he was impressed by. Rob was telling that Pentax wouldn't keep up with the OM-D. So, I spok
