Well many of you may have gathered from a previous thread, Pavel (stratokaster) and I had money burning holes in our pockets and both were desperate for a serious compact to complement our current line-ups and complete our arsenals. Pavel is a very patient guy and helped me through the quagmire of "what should I buy" PMs - he fielded calls from Samsung compacts and NX to the different Panasonic offerings. He remained resolute in his choice, while I wavered...until I was this close to buying a Panasonic G3. Bottom line it didn't feel right in hand and so time finds both Pavel and I with what could be argued are the cream of the respective micro four thirds - he is armed with a GH2 and I, the EP3.
So we committed to see how these cameras compared - not examining CA or PF or distortion against a brick wall. But how our chosen cameras fared in each of our hands against a common thematic target. Many question the dynamic range of the mu43 sensor, but I hope Pavel and I can demonstrate how the heart of these very capable cameras can stretch across the oceans...Pavel's in Kiev, Ukraine and I near Australia's capital. So I hope you enjoy the coming weeks and that it's not misinterpreted as a self-indulgent exercise.
Happy to field queries about our chosen gear, especially if you're wavering between them, and be keen on any feedback.
So here's our, and our camera's, take on:
1. "Splashes of Colour"

The EP-3 with kit 14-42mm.
Over to you my Russian friend....
