Originally posted by eddie1960 the B/W output of the GRD series has always impressed me. I'd actually grab the IV but the rumour of the V coming soon has me holding off to see what it offers. I imagine their will be a big sensor upgrade because that part of the market has really heated up
I never grabbed one in the past because they weren't available in Canada, now they are (and the GXR option is tempting as well, though i would likely go m mountor)
For me the biggest worry with upgraded sensor would be size increase. IV is bigger than III since the only difference is IS. The IV just slips into my pocket. I think with the sensor upgrade it would be too big for me. But if the sensor gets upgraded I would most likely get it too, but also keep IV.

$170 plastic lens with metal lenses that cost at least twice as much?
Well, since it's hailed by a lot of users as a great lens, when in fact it's not. I was sold on the hype and regret it, since the photos I've taken were overseas, it's not like I will be there again to reshoot them. So when someone mentioned that the 14mm lens is great, I want them to be aware that it's not. There are much better out there. In m4/3 that lens is 7-14mm zoom.
