Panasonic GH3: Day 1

Pros
1/ familiarity with Panasonic Lumix menus
2/ good camera feel with sound grip
3/ lightweight even with a macro lens
4/ fast 
5/ beautiful bokeh

Cons
1/ the rubber ring around the viewfinder will destroy my glasses (I couldn't see through it within half an hour because of smudging)
2/ fixed focus will take a long time to learn to use (just as the macro option on the Canon G12 did)
3/ hard to find the little Odonates through the viewfinder or on the screen
4/ expensive
5/ I missed being able to just snap pictures at different focal lengths (this surprised me)

Today's Results
Best shots of totally still Lancet Clubtail and flowers. 



Worst shots of dragonflies in typical plant positions and windy web.



Judgment
The jury's out.
