Experienced Street Shooters: Your Gear Advice Needed

[ZoranC]

I haven't seen anyone complaining about dust in the camera modules, but then I've hardly seen more than a dozen GXR users total and that's only in the past week or so. Who are these people?

Just various posts I came across.

If you want ultimate dust protection on an interchangeable lens camera, you want an Olympus E-5 with HG or SHG lenses. Weather and dust proofed, the best dust buster in the business.

Not looking for something dust proof, but not liking something where I can not clean the dust once it gets in.

Re: SLT55

Hmm, I see you've been considering the SLT55; I'd take a look at the comparison:

and remember the K-5 is said to be quieter ...

Thank you, but size/weight of SLT55 is where I am drawing the line.

If K5 with mirror slap is said to be quieter than SLT55 with fixed mirror then I have to first check SLT55 in person before continuing to consider it.
