Well,i'm more interested in a nikon long lens...hehe...

PS: wah...you all very efficient sia, so fast BDP 31 come out liao...

Any recommendation of DSLR?
I am also considering the Micro Four Thirds system because of the compact size. Having the reflecting mirrors takes up lots of space and weight.
Since I am not heavily invested in SLR lenses, maybe the switching cost is not too high.

Welcome any comments on that.

it may be the lisghter version of DSLR but its not exactly a DSLR, afterall, its still a compact with interchangable lens.

Next lesson when we talk about lenses and focal length and its effect, you will know the different.

I would still prefer a DSLR, the Micro Four Thirds system still have their limitations.

If the performance of the Micro Four Thirds system can match up the SLR, it could be the next generation of prosumer product replacing low-end DSLR. But I am not sure of the picture quality of Olympus and Panasonic cameras. Any experience to share?
