    little out of my price range, but yes, should be the perfect all-around perfromer, everything from my G2 and more!

    impressions of DMC-G2 (EVIL, micro four thirds)

    i like the all in one-ness of the PL1, but it feels a little cheap and lacks some control... then there's the P2 that is really nice but lacks the viewfinder and flash without adding on to it (and driving up cost). Either way, Olympus can't be beat for high ISO performance, and their...

    impressions of DMC-G2 (EVIL, micro four thirds)

    MSRP is $699, B&H has them for $549 right now. I saw a "used one time" one on ebay with box and all manuals/accessories for $469 a few days ago. I picked my "used one time" one up from craigslist locally for $425. Guy had box and all manuals and such, only missing lens hood, and really does...

    impressions of DMC-G2 (EVIL, micro four thirds)

    the camera also has a "color" option that lets you apply some color processing to the images in camera. i don't anticipate using it, as i'd rather apply any styling in photoshop later. but here's a comparison of some of the styles anyway: standard "pure" setting: "elegant": "retro"...

    impressions of DMC-G2 (EVIL, micro four thirds)

    very low light, ISO 400, a little noise under the desk but pretty nice for the conditions: early morning light coming through the window only, i like that the blacks are crisp and low noise. i shot this at ISO 800 because noche kept moving around: here's a closeup crop from that same...

    impressions of DMC-G2 (EVIL, micro four thirds)

    I'm cross-posting this from OffroadPassport.com as I thought some people here might also be in the market for a move-up or a scale-down to a micro four thirds system.... I picked up a used Panasonic DMC-G2 camera this week off craigslist. I have been wanting to step up from a point-n-shoot...

    new camera with autobracketing and my first tests of HDR

    got a new-to-me camera that does auto-bracketing and had to play with doing HDR of course (i know, some hate it, some love it). personally i like it when it still looks mostly realistic and helps bring out just a little detail that was missed do to a scene having extreme variation. my first...

    i don't know if anyone makes an engine driven compressor system for the JK, but having just researched 12v compressors quite a bit... the Puma PD-1006 (ebay ~230) is your best start at a full system, it gets you a 100% duty cycle good compressor and pressure switch, solenoid, regulator, safety...

    long winded writeup for on-board-hot-shower system

    an adjustable "Y" valve or plain "mix" valve would let you adjust temperature to compensate for how hot your particular vehicle and heat exchanger are. most systems out there are just a 12v or "D" battery operated pump and a heat exchanger: http://www.helton.com.au/shower%20units.htm you...

    just saying some shops do a crap job no matter how many time you take it back, or their machine is out of whack, or whatever, so maybe try a different place. here's someone explaining the road force balance better than i can...
