Forum Section for Panasonic or for M4/3

Theninjaseal · Jul 13, 2012

I know this isn't really a question, but I couldn't find a better spot for it- that said, point me in the right direction if this should be moved.

We have on this forum a section for Nikon, one for Canon, one for Sony, etc. but there are no sections dedicated to any Micro Four Thirds cameras or brands. To the admins and mods, I'd really like to see a section open up for talking about mirrorless cameras, ILCs, MdSLRs (all the same thing).
With our thousands of members, I'm sure there are at least a good-sized handful that would appreciate a sections for talking about ILCs in general, or a Panasonic section.

Thanks

There is a feedback and suggestions forum.

I've been trying for quite some time now to convince the gods of TPF to create such a sub-forum. The only answer I got was there wasn't enough interest but I'm not convinced as there is certainly more interest than "Cell phones" and even "Pentax".

I've been leaving reminders at the end of my posts that involve mirrorless micro 4/3 specifically. I shoot with Pannasonic and Olympus micro 4 /3 cameras but I don't think it would be necessary as they are both very similar and share the same format. So I figure a micro 4/3 forum would be all that is necessary.

A few of us have been posting here as well:

As an alternative, I've been pointing out that there exists a forum that is dedicated to micro 4/3 ... www.mu-43.com

Thanks for posting.

I've been trying to follow usayit's posts to add my support for a dedicated camera sub-forum. It certainly is a viable camera format and is increasing with a following of serious photographers. If it weren't, why would Nikon and Canon be entering the fray?

I have the Oly PEN EP-3 with only three lenses at the moment. I plan on renting the OM-D and a lens or two soon. If it does as good as I've read and seen photos from, I'll probably upgrade.
