The lens issue is pretty big IMHO. The N1 lenses are generally not as robust feeling as the m43 choices. And they are generally more expensive as well. I bought a V1 before the massive price drop....

patent application, not patent

I pretty much always shoot RAW with all of my cameras. I either process with the software that came with the camera or PS. I generally don't pp all of my shots, just the ones I want to use. I was...

Doesn't it make more sense to compare entry level DSLRs to entry level m43 models rather than the top of the line m43s? Otherwise it seems rather skewed. I agree there could be much better...

SOme nice nature shots certainly. But not really macro.

I agree that having the long cord for the charger is kind of annoying. But what I did was simply use the simple plug connector from my Nikon charger to replace the long cord. It has the same shape...

Damn. I just bought the Flipside Sport 10L about 2 weeks ago at my local camera shop. It is indeed a good size for m43 gear. Holds all of my stuff with room to spare. I really like the tripod...

Wow. Tell us how you really feel. I prefer a viewfinder. So I guess that makes me a pussy. I like the smaller lenses of m43 when I want to travel light and compact.

If you currently have any versions of Nik's software you should be able to get the whole suite for free. They sent an email earlier today with a link. Automatically downloads, easy install. I have...

Do you want this backpack only to travel with or do you also plan to shoot out of it?I have a ThinkTank ShapeShifter bag which I find excellent for travel. It has a laptop section at the back and...

The SEMA-1 comes with a part that mounts to the accessory shoe into which you then plug the microphone. It's a standard 3.5mm jack so you could plug any other microphone into it.

Olympus markets their own messenger baghttp://www.getolympus.com/us/en/accessories/camera/cases-straps/om-d-e-m5-messenger-bag.html

I've been using a Cotton Carrier with my DSLRs for the last couple of years. Might be a bit overkill for something as small as the OM-D, but they also make some products that clip onto a backpack...

seeing all of that pollen on his eye is making mine itchy!

There's an Olympus OM-D messenger bag. Seems to go for $40 or so at Adorama.http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/accessories/om-d-e-m5-messenger-bag.html

I have the Cotton Carrier hand strap on my D600 and really love it. But I haven't been able to find anything comparable for the OM-D.I have a relatively narrow neck neoprene strap that I have been...

Saw this Nanoha extreme macro lens mentioned in either Pop Photo or Shutterbug recently.http://www.ephotozine.com/article/yasuhara-nanoha-x5-macro-lens-review-18271Does either 5:1 or 4:1 and has an...

With regard to HDR on the OM-D, if getting to bracketing in the menus is too much trouble, it is very simple to change the exposure using the front dial. As long as you are set up on a tripod it's...

Did you try shooting video at all?
