Thanks for the response Roel. I bit of a break is what I needed I am physically exhausted but I have started looking at cameras and pictures for what they are worth.

The Pro at my daughters wedding is a family friend (Daughters friend) who we have know for the last 15 years . She was very interested in my equipment. I did the Photo Booth with the E-30 and 18-180 and the new set of lights I purchased. They sort of came out OK . That I know about studio Lighting can be written on a matchbox so there where lots of screw ups. She was using a5DMKIII and a 7D , With a 70-200 f/2.8 and a 24-70. Impressive stuff but I thought my Olympus stuff covered the whole range and are Optical Equals. I just needed a body that I could use in low light.

Those Canon lens-body matches are of course extremely capable.

(I would not think you would entrust your daughter's wedding pictures to anyone showing up with less than really really pro gear...)

But I have shot a wedding with E-5, E-3 and E-M5 with a bunch of lenses, and I did manage to get through the day without being struck by lightning.

Hopefully this new camera Could bring back a bit of parity in this ISO department.

The parity is already there (well, maybe not totally but almost), in the E-M5.

Did you ever notice this ZD70-300 portrait at ISO 3200 that I posted on µFT Forum :

I really don't need any better ISO3200 and I seldom have use for ISO over that value.

Well first welcome back Collin glad you had some time away, the cat box thing says your a bigger man then I am.

Roel that is an amazing photo and almost unbelievable at that ISO, what type of noise reduction did you use for this? I'm still shaking my head about the lens you used WOW! I have found the 70-300 to be great for closeup as well and to think these things are going for around $200US right now.

Well we live in hope as always.
