I already have two lenses, I don't need a third aaaaaa

What do you think?
What have you done?
Dumping some of my most recent.

Let me guess, you need more?

How long before (((the usual suspects))) start saying the term crushed blacks is heckin problematic?

Do you consider these ratings/winners justified? Could you do better?
If so..

How bad am I fucking up if I get this as my first camera?

What do you think?

That's the ultimate secret of making good decision.
This is the most important lesson i've learnt by snapshitting with a fixed lens camera.

Consider the distance prior to lens's focal length.

That nobody makes compact micro four thirds cameras anymore. Some of the models I can forgive them for not attempting to remake because of technical difficulties in terms of energy requirements where upgrades would be impossible (GM1, GM5, Pen-F etc), but the other non-niche cameras as well? They used to make new models quite often. Even the E-PL line seems to have been discontinued. This trend follows with digicams as well. Sony for instance haven't updated their RX line in ages.
Isn't this kinda gay? What's the holdup? Are we at a point in camera history where improvements are impossible?
