Sorry but it can't be done nor on any other Panasonic bodies I own. I might have to run some more tests. I did some C-AF small clips and I was surprised.

The tilting screen would have made it a bit bigger too I guess. For the touch screen, there is a positive point out of this: the battery last a lot longer than on my GX7. ;)

The focus pulling on the baby video was with the GH4 and 75mm. Focus pulling with the LX100 would be near impossible without something to help. The focusing ring is just too small and you could move the Aperture ring if you are not careful. It could be done with a kind of Tie-wrap and a little...

I have been using the LX100 for one week now and I love that camera. It is not perfect, but it shows some character and it is a great camera overall. Here are some pictures. If you want to see more and see video, head over to my blog...

For a wide angle, don't discard lenses like the Bower/Rokinon/Samyang (all the same) 14mm f/2.8. It's a manual lens but the optical quality of the lens is excellent and they are so cheap. You can use the hyperfocal distance to focus or use Liveview.

Instead of a drive, did you think about online distribution instead? I only use discs for weddings now but for family/portrait/baby shoots, I'm using Zenfolio to deliver my photos. The clients can download them directly from there. It makes it easier when they live far from me. Last month...

The problem is APS-C sensor cameras usually have bigger lenses than micro 4/3. The camera body is just one part of the equation. The lens is usually a bigger part. That is one of the reason why I chose micro 4/3. Lenses are small and incredibly sharp. Someone also mentioned the LX100. I played...

Try them to see which one fits best in your hands. I love the Panasonic GX7 and micro 4/3 lenses are so small. http://www.mirrorlessjourney.com/blog/2014/9/panasonic-lumix-dmc-gx7

Weight matters a lot to me now. Two years ago, my camera bag was around 18-20 kg, now, it's more around 4-5 kg. My back is happy. :)

Thanks. It was a great place indeed. No more leaves in the trees now over here (or so few) so it will be brown until the snow comes in a month and a half.

Oops, missed the last line of yout post... hehe. Canon EOS-M is a really crappy camera but it is really cheap now and if you don't throw it away as far as you can from frustration, you should get good quality pictures out of it.

What is your budget? What is your level of photography? Any details can help with camera selection. My walkabout camera will soon be the Panasonic LX100 but that's my choice for what I expect quality wise and what I want for ergonomics and other considerations.

minnnt, did you consider the Rokinon/Bower/Samyang 7,5mm Fisheye? It is a manual lens but this focal lenght on a micro 4/3 sensor, you shoot always at the hyperfocal distance unless your subject is like 15cm from the camera. Those were shot with this lens (cheap price but solid build and really...

The Panasonic Lumix GX7 just got a price drop on our side of the Atlantic, not sure how much it is now in England. I love this camera. It feels just right in my hands. I wrote a post recently to talk about my one year with that camera. If you are interested, you can check it out here...

Photo Mechanics is supposed to be very fast. For Lightroom, I have a tip about that on my blog http://www.mirrorlessjourney.com/blog/2014/10/tip-of-the-week-11-previews
