Have experience with EOS650, Fuji X-series, Samsung N20, Sony, GH2, etc.
My claims are private but also in quite semiprofessional,
professional area.
I will not go into all the details and details, since they are adequately read here.
Auto Focus, Peaking, etc.
I confine myself to the highlights and the criticisms.
The camera is small (compared to me the RX100), relatively easy, high quality
processed ... so far everything to my complete satisfaction.
For practical use I have some time used as the camera
is of course not to compare the operation of her with my Oly.
The often criticized, small keys, especially the dial, are certainly with
Legal critically consider. Other hand, there is a mini-MFT
camera, where meaningful, greater control keys / buttons are for since housed
be !?
In my opinion, that is very well compensated by the touch screen function and before
all that is easy to use through the Quick Menu.
The normal menu control I find also very good. The technical possibilities
are more than sufficient; RAW, HDR, multiple exposure, WiFi, etc.
I've bought a very beautiful leather bags. This is the camera
well protected and relatively easy to operate if the front of the bag
omits. On the bag is also available of something like a camera handle the
can replace outrageously expensive original part.
Oh yeah ... the battery criticized. Had procured a second battery to it; not the expensive original ... works flawlessly.
200 + x pictures can loose shoot it.
For me, absolutely ok! I "plane" my pictures mostly and not chase 500 photos in one day!
But the camera is not created because you have to grab something else.
The continuous shooting speed is ok, who needs 20 or more images at a time and must
keep shooting again after 5 seconds !?
One should already stay on the carpet and just more to the picture than focusing on the technology.
The small, lightweight standard lens is better than the standards of the most
other vendors. Comparisons with higher quality lenses I have
enough, like I use the fantastic 45s or 20s Olympus Panasonic
because of yet better quality and intensity.
I would like to mention the video function.
I am very surprised by the high quality and the setting.
Really amazing!
Overall I am very satisfied with the GM1. For me a great Always-In Camera with high potential.
I give her 5 stars because it is unique in the sector and my expectations completely.
