    In the early 2000s, Nikon fans were in luck!
    They had the choice between Nikon, Kodak, and Fujifilm to be able to use their Nikkor lenses.

    Wow... it's indeed a very good and interesting shot. I'm sorry it got stolen a lot or at least used (I assume) without giving credit.

    That's a nice looking camera - that Nikkor lens looks great on it as well (and I'm really not a fan of how Nikon lenses look).

    Excellent comparison. You always do an excellent job with these tests. Appreciate all the time and work you put into this.

    I've never handled an ILC Lumix. I'm partial to the "rangefinder" layout. It helps keep the nose off the screen. This model looks very similar to the Olympus E-300 I owned. The colors look better than the yellowish Sony example.
    Thanks for sharing,

    Not sure I could reliably pick the FF from 4/3 without pixel peeping.

    Thank you very much, in the end what matters is not the quantity but the quality of the interventions. 😎

    I agree, it works really well to show differences in the look and particularly the colors and nuances - well done!

    Here are two cameras that exude elegance and class.
    Two devices that are pleasant to use, but which also have one major flaw in my opinion: the lack of a viewfinder, which is so unpleasant in good weather!

    Interesting. The Olympus looks like an art deco piece while the Lumix looks like a 1920's must have fashion piece - nice styling.

    Always wanted an EP-1. Ended up with an EP-1L. Not as stylish but it has the extra hot shoe contacts for the Olympus tilting EVF eyepiece. Still use it once in a while.
    Nice comparison. Didn't expect the Panasonic to be so much smaller. Would still like to get the almost Pentax Q size Panny some day.
