Terry,I haven't used the OMD yet so this isn't a comparison or anything against that camera. I think with the x-pro1 it is the first camera in a long time where I feel like it can be shot in super simple mode. There is a learning curve to understanding the camera but there are very few buttons to deal with. Aperture on lens, shutter and EV dial. ISO can be set fast. I haven't even programmed the custom button yet because I don't know what I want it set to because I'm shooting it pretty purely without any fancy features. There Isn't really even much need for the back four way controller. I haven't said that in a long, long time.
Shooting the M8 and then eventually the tech camera got me in the keep It simple mode. I'm glad to be back there. Now if I need a little speed demon I will use the Nikon V1. I guess what I decided was I didn't want a jack of all trades in one camera.
Friday night..... Done work waxing on. Sorry.
Compare camera dimensions side by sideSo, how does it compare size wise to a GH-2 (G1, G2, GH1)?
Has someone already posted a pic of that?
Thanks,
Doug
Not necessary. You're supposed to buy both :lecture:I'm surprised noboby has compared the camera with the Fuji X100.

Terry: lovely. I am intending to set the NEX 7 up exactly the same way, and like yourself, I feel very happy with this. I still really like the GXR (and it can be set up to a 1:1 ratio, if wanted) but the external finder makes it less than ergonomic, for me, and the visual quality of the EVF is... well, you can use it for framing. That's a bit harsh, but nothing like the X-Pro1 or the NEXs.I think with the x-pro1 it is the first camera in a long time where I feel like it can be shot in super simple mode.

. . . and the NEX7 as well?Not necessary. You're supposed to buy both :lecture:
Shhh... so far, I've succeeded very well not liking the NEX7. It would be nice to keep it that way.. . . and the NEX7 as well?
I deeply want an OMD, but I can't find a good enough excuse
