Considering OM-D as a companion to...possible replacement for my Canon 60d. My fears...
4 months ago

I love the style, size and weatherization of the OM-D. I've read the reviews, watched the videos, looked at the alternatives. First, I am concerned about IQ, in that CNET didn't like it, and DP Review said this, "The camera's default noise reduction and sharpening settings aren't entirely to our taste but they're not overly destructive and are easily changed for the better. That minor gripe aside, we've been impressed with the E-M5's output, whether in Raw or JPEG." The CNET review appeared to address the same matter, and the reviewer appears to to be a nickpicker. Second, I fear I won't be able to track fast moving grand kids based on the continuous auto focus issues. Third, I wonder if I can hold the darn thing and whether my thumb being on some of the controls would be a constant worry.

I would love to buy the whole ball of wax and cherry-pick the best lenses. I'd get the grip too. My problem with the cropped Canon sensor is a lack of lens selection, none of which are weatherized. I'd like to lug this kit around instead. I primarily shoot landscapes and people...and pretty soon grandkids.

I'd like some advice. Thanks!
