max 10mm wide, credit card format 10x optical zoom with big sensor instant triggering and 10 Mp but still did not find any, surprising ?
the other lenses are ordered and will soon be there, (monday?)
I will test the nex-5, I have been looking at the M8 but time has not yet come as I know that if I get the Leica I will snob everything else...
Cheers.

It would be great if you could ask that as an optionn like in the car industry when you want the car without badges..
And damage the lens..
So no chance
Being the size of their toys...
I did not have one in hand yet, tell me does it shoot the photo without delay when you pres sthe shutter?
This is the thing that got me tired of the beautifully retro designed PEN. Evenin sport mode it is slow to trigger.
What is your experience? What lens do you have? I was thinking of the 18-200 zoom
That you cant have one around because of the job we do..made me let them in the cupboard.
But my love for racing photos and being able now to get closer than ever (when time is there.) made me want to get weapons again..but you are right, just too many hobbies
Cheers.

it has finally arrived....
after a lot of trouble with the Mark III, that made me play with other toys...
Of course such a...brick means you still need the swiss knife as camera... the compact digital that i am looking as a ultra thin one. Cheers. Luc
lots of things that did not fully satisfy me
the pen was fun but slow to trigger, it did come along for more than a year
I was about to buy the nex-5 but i decided to wait for the maybe to come nex-7
instead i went for the big cardboard boxes
and the big monster
which means i cant always have it around
more than two kilos of magnesium and plastic

It's the best there is imho, the 1D. Now for some white lenses, :P
It's quite cumbersome if you travel with the lenses and you can nv bring enuf lenses with you. Need another suitcase just for them. 
That's why I have given up.
For the compact, Canon has the ixus with really good functions.
I am on a panasonic with the Leica lenses that works really well too.
But most of the compacts are already made in China so tough to find one that is Japan made.
Happy hunting.

I have had my share of Ixus....and I am actually hunting for a ...

If only those white lenses would be decently black...
It would be great if you could ask that as an optionn like in the car industry when you want the car without badges..
It would certainly be nice to have the option on offer.
For now I'll just have to stick with a black Sharpie to fix it.
Black sharpie is cool and Canon says that black might absorb too much heat...
And damage the lens..
So no chance
Congrats, Luc!
That's a monster! Looking forward to more shots with that one!

You know what they say about the only diffetence between kids and grownups...
Being the size of their toys...
Congrats! out of curiousity
what was your reservation on the NEX-5? Still loving mine and about to ditch my DSLR...
Actually i was waiting for the nex-7 but i am still intersted because i like the design.

My NEX-5 certainly feels pretty responsive
At least it beats my trusty old Nikon DSLR (D80). But I understand this is all relative especially given what you have. See if you can find one at the shop to test it out. It shouldn't be difficult to find. I just got the latest 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS and I also have the other two: 16mm F2.8 & 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OSS.
Good choice, Luc.
I am a terrible photographer, (and the last thing I need is another hobby with expensive hardware)
But I will say that EOS is what made a couple of my photographer friends perform the painful jump away from Nikon..
Photos are always been a hobby but as you know the fact....

The age-old conundrum LOL
I wrestle with to many hobbies as it is.
That Canon EOS is a great camera and probably the best value out there. If I didn't already have a lot of Nikon equipment, I'd probably be looking at Canon.
