I do understand your point, a week is not a long time to evaluate and compare two fairly complex cameras. However there are a couple of things which ultimately make the decision for me, namely the...

Strange that, I'm hoping they skyrocket!:-)

Might be worth picking up a second hand MFT and seeing how you like it. I sold off one lens (70 - 200 2.8) to fund the EM5, found a really good price online (procamerashop) and reasoned (there's...

I had to sell off my 70 - 200 2.8 to buy the EM5, it was a gamble but in the end worth it, now the rest of my Nikon kit is up for sale so that I can put together the M4/3 kit that I want.The...

I'd be very interested to know if these images look 'contrasty' enough or slightly over exposed to you guys. I edited the in LR4 on my mac and they look darker with more contrast on that than they...

I agree, everyone's so hooked up on 'best IQ' and the latest 'must have' rather than the practicality. Must admit that the D800 was tempting when it came out but why bother? The thing would be no...

A lot of people seem to be going this way, as far as I can see the D7000 probably is the better camera, if your feeling fit and can get the enthusiasm together to lug it all around. The EM5 is 99%...

EPL5 looks very interesting, if its anything like the EM5 then it'll be a winner. Moving from the bulk of a DSLR plus lenses to the micro four thirds has been a real eye opener, it's a whole lot...

I'm already made up with the size / weight difference, camera in your jacket pocket, unheard of!Strangely enough the only lens that I'll keep is the 300 2.8 AIS beast but I have special plans for...

Oooo you put me on the spot now...Just a few from the last weekend, nothing I'm too happy with yet (I've only had this camera a week and still only have the 25mm lens, excuses excuses). If anyone...

Cheers, yes I'm really enjoying it. Most importantly its small and light, this has made a huge difference, I can now carry it around with me rather than 'going out photographing' like I did with...

Some nice shots there, especially the 15th one down in the first set (really nice wings on that bee) and the ladybird (really nice framing of the bug), in the second lot I like the orange flower...

Well I never thought that this would happen but it just goes to show that you never know whats around the corner. I've been enjoying my D7000 for a little while now, built up a rather nice lens...

IQ is important but it certainly isn't the only thing to be concerned about. My D7000 has better IQ than my EM5, it's easier to access all of the functions and I love it. The EM5 does however...

Had the EM5 for a week now, great camera. Its not as good as the D7000 in some areas but better in others. IMO the Nikon is designed around the functions whilst the Oly has the functions squeezed...

The flash was hand held on some and on its own stake in others (got carried away with the stakes....)

Hi Mark,There were a lot of bugs! Not quite sure why this was but there seemed to be a population explosion just for the day. I needed to stake the flowers due to a breeze and the long, narrow...

Hi guys, here's a few shots taken during a recent 'bug population explosion' in my garden.All were with the Tamron 180 macro, D7000 and off camera flash, I'd appreciate any help with improving my...

Practice! I've had a great year this year learning a bit of macro stuff. At first my shots also weren't up to much, even thought that my lens must be broken at one stage! A good tripod and plenty...

Waiting for delivery of my em5. Thinking about moving on from the D7000, it's not that there's anything wrong with the Nikon apart from size, weight and massive expense if I want to take it diving....
