I have a Gh1 and three Olympus ep1, ep3, and an Omd, regarding photography all this Cameras are better than Panasonic, on video part always Panasonic is better! But you said slower what do you mean by that? Focusing speed in OMD is very fast but it is not like a DSLR camera!, it is fast engh for street photography beside it has in body stablizer which is amazing and it is dust and weather resistant ( body and the kit lens ) read more about them in many photo blogs and pick the one which is better for your need!.

Yes, I use a variety of my Nikon F Mount lenses (AF-D, AI-S, G, etc) on a Panasonic GH3 by using this adapter (GH4 works the same way). It increases the F stop and reduces the crop factor for going from full frame to m43. Note- there is no autofocus and no aperture control via the camera though. You can control exposure using the aperture ring on the metabones adapter and the metering in the camera will tell you if you are properly exposed. While the GH3 doesn't have focus peaking the GH4 does, which should greatly help you with manual focusing using this adapter.

I own OMD-EM5, previously Pana GF-1. As some say there is a purple flair on sunlight. I don't see it as a real issue. The combination is really good and the lens is pretty amazing

Well, I'm now reading about another option: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20/B 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization.This one compares to the Panasonic ZS3 and both sell for approximately the same price. I guess I'm still stuck in wanting to figure out which one of these models (DSC-H20, ZS3, DSC-W350, W370) can do all of the things they promised but at a faster speed.

According to a Panasonic rep at Photokina, the GH3 doesn't have focus peaking, though they may add it in a firmware update.

The high speed (slow-mo) is cool, but it's lower-resolution than full HD. See this link to a video I mad with this camera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xi-72avWLY. All the exterior shots and slow-motion shots were made with this camera. I believe the latest update to this camera from Panasonic (the FZ200) has full resolution high-speed video, but I'm not sure.

I have the original DSC-H20, and we gave the DSC-H20/B to my father-in-law for Christmas. His looks and is almost exactly the same as mine, but it has a few more options in the manual and program modes. Specifically I recall that he had more shutter speeds and focus distances to choose from. Edit: Sorry, I was mislead! My camera was missing some ISO speeds, etc. in the menus for some reason (stopped at 800 instead of 3200). But they just appeared. Must have been a firmware glitch!? :(

This camera with the 20mm pancake lens is out of stock EVERYWHERE as far as I can tell. Panasonic's own web site lists it that way, as do every online store I've checked.... except, as you note, for the ones who are taking advantage of the temporary scarcity to charge hundreds of dollars more. I understand it's supply and demand, but I still think it's slimy, and I refuse to deal with those companies. Panasonic pretty clearly underestimated the demand for this model. I think everyone who reacted to the Olympus E-P1 with "Oh, cool idea, pity the auto-focus sucks so badly and they used such a low-res LCD display" wants a GF1 now. Best of luck on getting your camera before Christmas, but my guess is it's a long shot.

I love how this always works out for me. I wanted this camera for my cruise on the 18th, but went ahead and got the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Red) last week because I didn't think the Nikon would be here in time. Now that it's here, what should I do? I like the GPS on the Panasonic, but it takes HORRIBLE low light pics. Any help would be appreciated!

I believe the price went up when the GH3 was introduced and they stopped offering the GH2. Sounds crazy that the introduction of an upgrade would drive up the price of the predecessor but it's true. The GH2 is still an AMAZING camera and and this point in time people aren't willing to pay the price of the GH3. I think the supply just isn't as great as it once was, but the demand is still very high. I bought one used GH2 for $700 back in 2012. Hope this answers your question.

I can't wait for a reviewer to get their hands on the HS20. Sounds great on paper.HS20 reportedly has Bigger CMOS sensor and faster circuits (along with a few other fixes, plus remote shutter release capable, more frames per second, SDXC, and includes a proper bayonet mounted hood).HS10 at under $400 sounded too good to be true, this sounds more like it, how it is worth the extra dough.DP Review reports the basics (propaganda):http://www.dpreview.com/news/1101/11010513fujifilmhs20exr.asp

I think you have your answer from others here, but I thought I would chime in and call out that not only is it better and faster it locks on faster than my 1D Mark IV in low light conditions. There are a lot of tweak able settings, but I haven't found the AI servo to be as fast or reliable as the 1D, of course, that is mostly because I want the extra ~4fps and haven't fiddled enough with the AF settings. Even better than the AF system though is how gorgeous the photos that come out of the Mark III are. Incredible, even at silly ISO settings (12800+). You will love it if you get one.

It has a very plastic feel to it. My 14-45mm does have a smoother zoom but I think a lot of that has to do with the rubber covering on the zoom ring, how much could that band have added to the production cost, pennies? I bought a collapsible Olympus 14-42mm and the feel of it's zoom mechanism is very smooth, but performance wise I think both of the Panasonics perform better on my G1s. I use the Oly on my GF3 because it is better balanced on the small camera. I thought the 14-42mm OIS Panasonic was replaced with a more recent model. Did you get the new model or the old model?
