The VF-1 looks interesting, though parallax can be a bitch
And the minimum exposure time of 1/2000.
Not that I'm aware of. I'll see whether I will run into this limitation in real life. I don't even know whether it is fixable by a firmware update, but I suppose it is.That is seriously off putting. I often find the minimum of 1/4000 to be annoying, and 1/2000 is much more limiting than that . Are there any custom firmwares around which raise it?
I didn't see any exceptionally large amount of CA in those pics.The lens seems to have a fair amount of CA as well.
I couldn't see anything more than moderate or low amounts of CA in those images. Anyways, short of shooting jet fighters at an airshow I can't think of any other instances where I have used a faster shutter than 1/2000s...Not that I'm aware of.

The CA's are being corrected when the lens is used with Panasonic bodies, the Olympus bodies only correct the distortion.
Looks good, although the standard zoom isn't the last word in speed, when it comes to light and AF-speed.Here's my first worthwhile shot, 14-42mm lens in place. I could use a 20mm pancake but that'll come later; I'm still getting used to just how pricey the interchangeable lens thing is. the Interceptor, do you find yourself using the pop-up flash a lot? I haven't yet found myself in a situation where I do need flash, and with my last compact I'd turn it off most of the time anyway, but it was nice to know it was there.
I agree as far as we're talking about the actual need for short shutter times. But I ran into situations (such as shooting a flower in direct sunlight) where 1/2000 sec. simply was too much even at base ISO to shoot it with f/1.7. It came out overexposed.short of shooting jet fighters at an airshow I can't think of any other instances where I have used a faster shutter than 1/2000s...

Um... no.Dial the EV down some to -0.3 to -1.0 before you shoot. Problem solved.
Um... yesOr how about an ND filter...?

You don't understand ... there is no way to reduce exposure other than closing the aperture of the lens. The sensor already is at its smallest sensitivity, the exposure time at its shortest period. The camera has no more ways to reduce the amount of light hitting the sensor, so there is no option to decrease the EV in this situation.Dial the EV down some to -0.3 to -1.0 before you shoot. Problem solved.
If you're shooting at f0.95 you are going to wish you can go higher than 1/2000 . In sunlight and wanting use f1.8 on my 50mm, i reguarly exceed 1/4000 a second.
Well, technically, shutter speeds on SLRs have gone as high as 1/16,000th. I'm sure it's technically possible to have a faster shutter yet, but I doubt there's enough demand for manufacturers to actually implement it.I don't know what you expect other than impossibly fast shutter speeds using a fast prime during the day without an ND.
