It all depends what sort of photography you're going to do.

 

[tonychat]

mostly food photos..

Vege food only?

mostly food photos..

If it's mainly still photography, pretty much any camera will do as long as the lenses are interchangeable. You probably need to spend more money on lighting and lighting accessories.

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

tonychat, where did u get the money from?

 

[tonychat]

You mean your ladyboy wife and mother provided 3some service so that they can pass u the money to buy a Sony camera?

How long did it took? 3 months of non-stop sucking and bending over?

 

[tonychat]

Vege food only?

Yah...food which is only suitable for real human consumption.

Your fav protege insist on getting this camera when I push OMD to him, almost same price with 12-50mm lenses, alamak.....

 

[Confuseous]

Is it worth the buy??? what do you guys think?

If you like shooting in the dark, better get something with 2.0 lens or less.
The one you showed has a 3.5 lens.
