Another APS-C sensor camera is the Samsung NX10. Not the fastest focusing or the fastest to download the images to the card, but I do like the images it takes with the 30 f2 pancake lens. The rendition is really nice as can be seen on the horses coat.

02/19/12  Samsung NX10 and the 30 f2 Pancake1949
NX10 Focal Length: 30 mm Aperture: f/2.8 Exposure Time: 1/1250 sec ISO: 200 02/18/12  How good can the E-PL1 be?Just to show how good the E-PL1 and the Panasonic 14-140 lens can be, I only had a couple of seconds to take this image of a Hummingbird Moth. For those of you have seen them, you know how quick they can be. They only stop for a couple of seconds at each bloom. Some say that focusing on the E-PL1 is slow, but after I took this picture I'm wondering what slow is. It's plenty fast for me.
Don't forget, this lens is pretty heavy compared to other m4/3 lenses and is made for video. There's a lot of glass in there to move when focusing. 1718
E-PL1 Focal Length: 140 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 200 02/17/12  Olympus E-PL1 and the 14-42 kit lens revisitedThis is another of my favourites. That light in the upper left is a lighthouse. It must have taken me at least 50 shots to get this one. I was either too early or too late as the light was rotating. Still, I got it in the end. 1503
E-PL1 Focal Length: 42 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/30 sec ISO: 200 02/16/12  Olympus E-PL1 and the 14-42 kit lens revisitedThis is one of my favourites with this lens. But who would have thought that this lens could take an image like this is such low light. Well, I thought it could. Again, it may be that I have a very good copy of this lens. This also speaks volumes about the Olympus IBIS. A lot seem to think that ILIS is much better and it may well be, but IBIS gets me these shots too. 1562
E-PL1 Focal Length: 29 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/45 sec ISO: 200 02/15/12  Olympus E-PL1 and the 14-42 kit lens revisitedThis second image has a slightly different angle of view to it and has been processed differently. But only slightly. White balance is cooler and I brought the buoy into the foreground. 1753
E-PL1 Focal Length: 42 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 200 02/14/12  Olympus E-PL1 and the 14-42 kit lens revisitedComing back to that 14-42 kit lens again, the one that folds into itself meaning the m4/3 one. The images I get from this lens are good enough for me, meaning I don't pixel-peep and judge the results on what I see on print or looking at the image at Print Size in Photoshop.
Judge for yourselves if these are good enough. 1483
E-PL1 Focal Length: 42 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 200 01/12/12  Panasonic GF-1 with the 14-45 Kit Lens.This was taken at the port in Malaga,Spain. Weather wasn't great but I prefer this sort of weather to full sunshine. One doesn't get harsh shadows and the dynamic range doesn't exceed that of the sensor. Pretty sharp too. The full sized image looks pretty good. I'll say it agin, the 14-45 kit lens is really a great lens offering a 28-90 range in 35mm terms which is enough for every day normal use. 1912
DMC-GF1 Focal Length: 18 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 10/2000 sec ISO: 100 01/11/12  Panasonic G1This is really an old camera by todays standards but I think it takes great images especially with the 14-45 kit lens and the 14-140 which was designed for video, but offers a good focal lenth range (28-280 35mm equivelent). And who said you can't get good bokeh with m4/3 equipment. AF nailed this one no question. 1809
DMC-G1 Focal Length: 140 mm Aperture: f/9.0 Exposure Time: 10/2000 sec ISO: 500 01/10/12  Panasonic GF-1Talk about low light. What actually drew me to this was the shadow on the wall. I thought it would be great for a B&W conversion. This was taken handheld. It was actually a number of images taken here as I wanted to be sure I got a good one. There were quite a few with signs of camera shake.
Converted to B&W in Photoshop. 1147
DMC-GF1 Focal Length: 20 mm Aperture: f/1.7 Exposure Time: 10/600 sec ISO: 100 01/09/12  Panasonic GF-1Same combination. Taken in Spain during the one day of rain we've had there while on holiday. Well it was a quick shower and that was it. 1465
