    What about when the lighting conditions are so poor that you are forced to use ISO3200 with f2.2 and 1/320thsec?:):):p

    For this one..

    - kwun did mention (in another post, in another thread) that he'd be very berry interested in changing his current DSLR camera if there is a lighter body but still has the same set-up as his current DSLR. A crossover between a 5DMkII and 7D.:cool:
    - his current and only DSLR is the 1D MkIII.

    It'll be interesting to see if kwun will do another upgrade when the 1D MkIV comes out; maybe he's saving for it;)...let's see, it should be next yr, as Canon upgrades its 1D line every 3 yrs (1DMkII in 2004, 1DMkIII in 2007, 1DMkIV in 2010??)..;)

    here is a better comparison:

    Canon 18-55/3.5-5.6 IS
    size: 68.5x70mm
    weight: 200g
    $175

    Lumix G Vario 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH OIS
    size: 60x60mm
    weight: 195g
    cost: unknown.

    practically the same angle of view, same aperture, but not significantly smaller.

    I was thinking..

    ..maybe you could trade in or sell your 1DMk3 to get your new camera (whatever that would be)..:p

    Oops, my bad.. I just got into this so beg your pardon. Thanks for highlighting.

    That's no fun anymore since it'll be Canon 1D again...

    No, no, but speculation is free :p

    It seems like we are talking differernt things.

    This is not a good comparison for mirrored vs mirrorless for 2 reasons:
    1. The lens stretches longer than the wide-range. The effects of housing a mirror does not impact designs of longer lenses;
    2. While the simpler designs is possible, the manufacturer may choose not to do it.

    If, however, the comparison is to disprove Olympus's claim about weight savings with 4/3 vs APS-C, I'm totally with you.

    This guy adds even more poison. How to get 1/600th indoors? Can only use f2.0 with a camera that can do ISO6400:crying::p

    Ehh... that's not true. :D

    At the Singapore Open, I was always shooting between 1/600 - 1/1000 using just a 70-200 f/2.8 and ISO between 1600-3200. Nothing outside of that range at all. :p:D

    ps: I've got the pictures to prove it! :D

    Maybe you can try for one of these :

    [​IMG]


    Lieca Elcan 90mm f/1.0 !! :eek::D:p

    Nothing else comes close at that range. Unless you're talking about the equally rare Nikkor Repro 85mm f/1.0 !

    [​IMG]

    Or quite possibly the fastest ever, camera mountable lens :

    The Leitz 75mm f/0.85 :eek::eek::eek:
