Why the OM-D is not a great camera!

Well these aren`t the old days ....now cameras have AF, Auto metering and many have 1/8000s shutter-speed It allows you to use wide apertures in bright lighting to get shallow DOF (some people like shallow DOF). In sunlight, using iso100, you need a shutter speed of about 1/8000 at f2. Faster shutter speeds can also be used to capture sharper images of very-quickly moving subjects....birds in flight in snow scenes, at the beach in the summer. Freezing humming bird wings. Many sporting events tennis for example benefit from 1/8000s shutter-speed so the rackets aren`t blurred.The way I see it, it's better to have it and not need it, than need it but don't have it.
