(As you can see I really just missed the sunset.) Very impressed with the combination of the EP1 and the Pana 20mm. Only very minor quible about the combination is that I must remember that when shooting wide open that even on a m4/3 camera the Depth of Field is still rather shallow and the AF areas of the EP1 (I was shooting with only the center point active) are still a bit too large. Wish the AF ...

(Very) initial impressions: Feels very well made and the manual focus ring feels great. Not sure of the materials, (I assume it is basically plastic because there is almost no weight to the lens. Then again the Oly 17mm was also plastic, but felt cheaper to me.) AF seems a bit faster than the 14-42 (that I still have) in good light and probably same compared to the 17mm from what I remember. AF is definitely faster - less ...

I have not been here for nearly 10 Months. Please pardon me, if I ask something stupid.

There seem to come up rumors about a new Powershot G11 (Google).

Does anyone of you know something about this Cam and the improvements in comparison
with the G7 i still like very much ?

Best regards

EP1 and the kit zoom for these. I was shooting RAW+JPEG using the Pop Art filter. While I loved the look, I felt the perhaps (nah....) the Fall colors in the Pop Art shots were maybe a bit overdone. These were all developed in Lightroom. Only made some small adjustments to vibrance and contrast. Opinions?

This looked like a ordinary to boring shot, its shot in flat light, and needed some light to give it shine and modeling, I would use flash if I was to re-shoot. So lets give it a tweak in LR3 beta. I won't got through the settings I used because I just tried them all till it started to look nice. The main factor was fill light slider that made the most difference.
