Micro 4/3 resources online

For those who don’t already know, I am one of the latest to fall victim to the micro four-thirds (from here onwards abbreviated to mFT) camera system. Prior to my pulling the trigger, I’ve been scouring the internet trying to find out anything and everything about the system.
For the benefit of those who are considering joining the mFT crowd, I’ve decided to compile some of the information resources that helped influence my final decision.
So without further ado:
  • Four Thirds – Official website run by Olympus with good basic information on the FT and mFT systems with offerings from both Olympus and Panasonic.
  • 4/3 Rumors – Find out about leaks and rumors and lots of actual news relating to the mFT world.
  • mu-43.com – A website on all things mFT. More importantly, it has a forum with oftentimes valuable bits and pieces of information to maximize your mFT investment.
  • e-p1.net – Also a forum on mFT and also a good place to look and ask for information.
  • MFlenses – Go here if you fancy investing in classic (and cheap!) manual focus lenses for your mFT camera and you need some user opinions.
Of course, that’s not everything. For a comprehensive review on mFT cameras, you can go to Digital Photography Review. Flickr is always a good place if you’re trying to decide on your next mFT lens, particularly for the more obscure MF lenses. And if all that’s not enough, there’s always Google.
