    Just checked out the Sony Nex-7 and the Olympus Om-D, cant decide which way to go, both very nice, both about the same price (with om-d grip – needed). sony has larger sensor, om-d has more lenses etc. Anyone else had a look at these too?

    If you want to see some good examples, check out long time photographer Peter Solness’s work. I know severall photographers who have attended his workshops and have been enthralled.
