I can use almost ALL my Leica lenses, as there are practically adapters for all the popular mounts (in manual modes only, of course). I don't miss my SLR anymore (okay, i still like my Leica!). In fact, with a full-size SLR lens, it actually feels comfortable with a hefty lens and the light camera body. The 12MP imager is much sharper than the 8MP in the EOS I was used to; and i always like the warm and vibrant color balance/tone of the Lumix processor. The pop-up flash is neat, and you can tug it to point it upward with you finger for bounce-flash (actually I learned this from an Olympus tech at a demonstration of the EPL2!) The 3-inch LCD is big and bright but if you have vision issue, manual focusing can still be a problem (same with any camera without a diopter-corrected...

However, it is lacking in two key areas. First, the touch screen is a little clunky - though it is nice for its ability to click on an image and simultaneously focus on that object and take the picture. Second, the high ISO noise performance is weak relative to one of it's key rivals - the Sony Alpha NEX line. The Sony line has an APS-C size sensor, which is larger and produces superior images, especially in low light. Since getting the GF2 I sold it and purchased an Alpha NEX-3, which is now out of production. I have numerous shots from the Alpha at ISO 3200 that are printable at 8x10 easily. If you value that level of performance - I would look at the NEX line. |
