Any other mirrorless/micro 4/3 users here?

Just wondering if there is anybody else that shoots with a mirrorless or micro 4/3 camera on here? I love my m4/3 camera and lenses and will be getting an ungraded body soon.

I'm using a nex3 and dslr. The nex is a cool little camera for certain applications but I think I like the full size better. What 4/3 are you using and oly or?

Panny g camera right now but I'll be getting an Oly OMD. The Sony cameras take great quality pics the physical setup just isn't my thing. Is the nex the only mirrorless you've owned?

yeah currently i think i may look at getting the oly

The OMD looks to be pretty damn promising. Weather proof and dust proof almost makes it seem like it would be a good paintball camera

I'm a new NEX-5N user. It's my first serious (non-point and shoot) camera so, I've got a lot to learn.

I'm shooting a Panasonic GH2 with the 14-140 kit lens and Panasonic 25mm prime.

Learn the basics if you've never had a photography class.

Then learn composition.

Then consider accessories that will make your type of shooting better.

I like the shallow depth of field of the 25mm gives me and makes the camera fit in a large pocket.

An external bounce flash makes indoor shots look much better.

If you are taking pictures of small items then build a light box.

@seek I've been toying with the idea of picking up that 25mm lens. I already have the panny 20mm1.7 and I love it but it's also I little wide. Is that 25mm bokehlicious?

If only one day they an make a micro 4/3 without the big wonky lense on the front, i can understand wanting a smaller camera, but the lense kinda defeats the purpose for me of making the camera body so small, its so disproportional.

It was fun to play around with though.

@ Jluke that's why I love my 20mm pancake lense. I honestly like fixed focal length fast prime lenses rather than zooms.
