Trey's Variety Hour #56: Micro Four Thirds Cameras

Gordon Laing makes his triumphant return to the Variety Hour! He joins me along with Giulio Sciorio, Peter Tsai, Amy DangRabbit, and Scott Giorgini. We discussed the ridiculously named yet awesome mirrorless camera system, Micro Four Thirds. There was plenty of gear porn and photos shared by the panel as well as questions taken from the viewers. Was a fun show!

Great video! I have a question, why not have both systems? :)

more discussions please

Thanks for the mention!! I enjoy using the EM5 quite a bit. If you have another mirrorless talk I'd like to share some opinions. Also, if you have a Leica talk, I just purchased a Leica M9P, and have used a M6 for years now. Perhaps I could just go to Peter Tsai's house here in Austin and we could both be on the same webcam. Cheers Trey.

Great group! Love it, as always. When you put Gordon and Trey together in a hangout, good things happen (lots of humor usually) :-)

btw great video, I am a M43 enthusiast and this was very informative.

Rattle snake sound sounds funny. Some times I guess I hear that with mine gf1+20mm, so all panasonic. The sounds happens indeed when the exposure would change a lot and that happens because the aperture blades drastically change in order to keep the live view not over or under exposed.

I recently went to Las Vegas and I took two mirrorless cameras with me - the Olympus Pen E-P2 and a Fuji X-Pro 1. I was very impressed with the image quality of both cameras, particularly the X-Pro 1 with the 35mm, f1.4 lens. The small cameras were fantastic for street photography, no one notices you at all. The only time I missed my full frame dSLR was on a trip to Bryce Canyon - I would have liked to go super wide on a couple of shots. M4/3 is great I'm excited about Fuji's new products.

Much time spent on mega pixels, which is informative. Gordon briefly mentioned that you cant get the same DOF on a sensor smaller than FX, or medium format for that matter. More pixels is fine, but I went with a 645D because of the look which can't be copied by a smaller-sensored camera including the FX. Which is why I'm not looking to sell my 40MP 645D because the 36MP D800E came out. The D800E is MUCH MORE versitle, but it cannot give the same look of the 645D which has a 70% larger sensor.
