This saves me buying one and not liking it, quite possible given my Leica usage, others are not coming from that angle so useful to see what differences there are between u4/3, APS-C and FF particularly if you are not near a shop with them available to look at. john ________________________________________ I cannot understand what is the point in reading what these sort of "reviewers" have to say, unless it is just to confirm your own bias in these matters. If you have a system that takes nice photos, and fits well in your hand - why try everything (or even anything) else? Besides, only Leica seem to be supplying him with free stuff and prototypes - a powerful incentive to stay with them! Nothing new here, all brands have their online "ambassadors" blasting away...
