How about joining a photo club? Being with people with the same interest might just bring back that previous enthusiasm. Sometimes there is nothing like friendly competition to stir up your competitiveness. Plus these other photographers will be a great resource regarding techniques & equipment. I do cycling and it is easier to maintain a regular routine when you're a member of a cycling club rather than being a solo cyclist.

Thanks for all the compliments. The G7 was the perfect camera for this because of its handy size I could just sit in the bench and use the tilt screen to frame my shot and not even look like I'm taking a picture. The horizontal level indicator was also a big help.

I wonder if the feathers at the back of its head have been trimmed. Especially the orange ones with the black bands.

from the BH Photo site:
"Then, to find the equivalent focal length of the new field of view afforded by the smaller APS-C sensor, multiply the true focal length of the lens by 1.5x to get the 35mm equivalent focal length of the lens. A 50mm lens on a camera with a 1.5x crop factor APS-C sensor gives a field of view equivalent to that of a 75mm lens on a full-frame or 35mm film camera."

A follow up question. Will noise reduction done in post-processing be just as effective as in-camera noise reduction?

The Lumix says "long shutter noise reduction" after the exposure is finished. I saw the menu item "Long Shtr NR" and I set it off and that took care of that. On the OMD -EM5 it was on the Custom G menu "Noise Reduct". Turned it off and that removed the delay.
Thank you for the help!

I was preparing to take some nice fireworks photos at Niagara Falls last week and so I preped myself by taking 8 sec exposures on my G7 & OMD EM5. Settings were manual focus, shutter priority, f8, ASA 200. After the exposure it took both cameras about another 8 seconds to process the image. If I had used the cameras to take long exposures then I would have missed a lot of the fireworks display so I ended up taking videos. Is this typical for micro 4/3 cameras? Does this happen also with APS-C & FF sensors?
