The full report is now online.
"Having been to Antarctica with Michael and Kevin, I would say after having traveled the world and shot nearly my entire life as an exhibiting photographer, it was one of my highlights in my life and I talk about it, all the time. The images and experience of seeing something visionary and nearly extinct from the world, to see and experience the wildlife and scenery that does not fear humans is amazing. The images I shot there won me two Smithsonian awards and nearly 18 other international awards". – Tim Wolcott

Micro Four Thirds is heating up. Panasonic’s GX7 has a lot of people excited, but last week Olympus announced the OM-D E-M1, its latest flagship camera.
I have received a review sample, just prior to my leaving for a week-long vacation in Paris, France. The E-M1 will therefore be the subject of a daily blog here on this site. Check in every day for updates.

Though Compact System Cameras, including MFT, remain underdogs in North America and European markets, this is currently the segment with the most innovation.
I recently had an opportunity to work for a week in Mexico with the new Panasonic GX7 – shipping very soon – and found it to be the best MFT camera yet. Both stills image quality and video capability are first rate.
My Field Report on the Panasonic GX7 is now online.
