Mr. Jimmy Moore as "David."
Under the old tungsten stage lights at the smaller, older stage,
(the original stage at Zach Theatre). Camera: G9
Lens for all: Olympus 40-150mm f2.8
ISO 1600.
(Taken during a running tech rehearsal. Or, how fast can you frame and focus on a production in the round with a fast moving actor and very contrasty lighting?
Shoot fast. Shoot often.

The last photo in your series demonstrates that under certain circumstances (i.e. longer focal length lenses shot wide open at relatively close distance) even a micro 4/3 system can produce too little depth-of-field to get an entire face in focus. The rest simply show that practically any camera can produce excellent results in the hands of a skilled and experienced photographer.
I am curious if you ever compared the G9 to the Olympus EM1 II.
In these conditions, Kirk, how does Panasonic's DFD hold up? I know you made mention of this in a recent blog post, but on the older stage under the tungsten lighting did it have any affect on how the AF performed? Are you shooting with single or continuous AF when shooting stage (I always shoot single myself, even for dance, as C-AF never seemed to keep up under stage lighting for me).
These images really strike a blow to the "can't shoot micro 4/3 in low light" argument. These looks awesome with very little noise. Dangit, you're making me want a G9 more and more.
My thoughts are that you'd have kept the G9 no matter the results.
Pretty much...
Both are exemplary for m4:3 shooters. I like the menus in the G9 better.
Excellent photos. But I'm a little surprised not seeing Martin Burke in the role again this year. He was so good playing the part.
I'm with Mike. If you keep this up, I'll have to find a G9 to hold and then put down. And then pick up and hold some more. Then just walk away. Maybe with one, maybe not. I'm scared to find out, because (almost) everyone knows those small sensors just can't cut the mustard. 8-p
