Hi Dan, With the latest news from Olympus, it looks like your decision may have been made FOR you. I'll continue to shoot with my Olympus gear, and hope that Panasonic stays in the game, but it looks like the improvements to AF (and R&D in general) we hoped for…

Photo Tips from the Field: Camera Packs & Roller Cases
Years of Carrying Too Much Gear The life of a traveling photographer is unique to say the least. I’ve been doing just that, full-time, since 1981. And though there’s nothing else in life I would rather do, like anything, it has its pros and cons. Schlepping lots of heavy gear…
