That's right, as also shown by the "date first available on Amazon" on the two pages: the FS is the new 2013 model and the VS is the old 2009 model.

Just one correction, the area of the Bridge of Glass that looks like the Persian Roof is the part farther to the west (left) where it crosses the freeway and side street, not over the railroad...

Well thank you my friend, I'm glad the photos were welcome. It's funny, I was so worried that I'd posted photos from The Wrong Camera. :-) So The Persian Roof is above your head, is that right? And...

Check the model numbers. They are two different...

Of course I realized some time later that it was silly of me to post those pictures from seven years ago taken with my old Canon A610 here in the M43 forum. Looks like I can't delete the post...

This is too funny. Do these look familiar? This pile of Chihuly glass covers the pedestrian bridge across the highway to the wonderful Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA. Artists at work in the...

I agree completely. The loud shutter is my least favorite thing about my E-P5. There are many situations where I simply can't use it because of the shutter noise. I was taking pictures at a tech...

I learned a great trick for this from an Amazon review: I picked up a few extra rear lens caps and glued them in pairs back to back. So I can take two short lenses and screw them into the caps and...

Don't know why the EXIF data didn't show up on that, but it was the Olympus E-P5 with 45mm f/1.8 (1/160 sec at f/2.2 exposure). It may have to do with the fact that I uploaded a PNG of the image? I...

The matching Olympus lens hood is only $30. I guess that's not cheap, but it's nice quality. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CI3R5DW/ Definitely agree about the lens!

M43 = Micro Four Thirds = Pocket Cinema Camera

This could just be a regional thing. Where I live the casual greeting "guys" includes the girls too. It's just the way we talk, with no exclusion of anyone intended.

Looks like a nice strap and a perfect fit. Now it makes me want to find something similar that isn't made of leather. (I don't like the smell of leather on my hands.) If anyone has run across...

You're absolutely right. Just a few hours ago I grabbed my Canon S95 after using my new E-P5 for a couple of months, and the font size and readability was the first thing I noticed. Olympus's menu...

One thing to note about the fisheye is that it's trivial to "defish" an image in software. I use Paint Shop Pro but I'm sure Photoshop can do it too (at least with a plugin). For example, here's a...

Here's the less-cropped version of the one with the fly: This is a prettier photo than the tight crop on the fly, but I like that one too for the way it shows how much you can crop with this lens...

I'm eager to get either the 100-300 or the 75-300. I love long telephotos! Right now I have the 60mm macro. It makes me smile every time I use it. These are all straight out of the camera except...
