Ok, so I´ve spent a little over a year and a half shooting with the Ep1 and the GF1 and I was not happy at all with high iso an dynamic range on these cameras. Then I´ve spend about 2 years shooting with the NEX-5 and the NEX-5N and I could not be happier with high iso and dynamic range...but it makes me furious that all the NEX lenses are gigantic. I mean we will NEVER have a 20mm f1.7 for NEX the size of the NEX 16mm. Sony´s best prime (the 24mm f1.8) is massive in comparison and it costs almost 3 times the price.
Lately with the new micro 4/3 sensors I got really drawn to changing systems again as they are supposed to be considerably better at high iso and dynamic range. I don´t need astronomic values like iso 10000, but I DO shoot at 3200 and occasionally at 6400 (although it´s a lot rarer).
Changing systems is expensive and time consuming (both have to do with the fact that I live in Brazil, where customs is VERY harsh and products are most of the time more than 100% more expensive than in the US).
I don´t want to buy an E-M5 with a 20mm f1.7 (the lens I miss the most), a 14mm f2.5, a 75mm f1.8 and 14-150mm to find out that I "need" to go back to the NEX system.
Oh, decisions, decisions. :banghead:
I would really appreciate people would share their opinions as I know many here have and use both systems.
