Yes, I've noticed an irritating hissing sound in my videos.

I can confirm noise is gone after firmware udpate.  A bit of a challenge since I'm linux only. -1 for Olympus not supporting linux.

Not the truth with my camera.  Perhaps true after updated firmware is applied.

It is unexpected.  Not a problem if it doesn't mean there is an issue with the camera.  Interesting that new firmware lowers the sound.  I'll investigate new firmware now.

I've never had a camera that sounded like it has a little fan inside.  Is this normal or is it defective.  Also camera came with kit lens and box wasn't sealed.  Wondering if it is used or...

A big teardrop  Panasonic GF3 with Olympus 45 mm.

Wifi capability is interesting.  Looking forward to snapping family portraits remotely from phone remote.  Hopefully future versions will allow raw upload, full control from a web browser and come...

I don't own an OM-D. i = interlace and has poor video quality.  A by product of old CRTs that practically don't exist anymore. Always shoot...

Thanks for the reply.  I'm a newb to macro photography, but I do like the idea of magnification.  Macro pics I've seen are typically best 1:1.  I'm wondering what it would take to do 2:1, 3:1, etc...

They were going for $750 last month.http://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-panasonic-lumix-compact-camera-kit?utm_medium=afl&utm_campaign=5405339&utm_source=rvsI own the gf3 and it is the best camera I've...

The sensor is a piece of metal with no internal moving parts, except for maybe electrons.  There is no reason why it can't last 100 years. I haven't noticed any extra hot pixels in my old cameras,...

Anyone else read a rumor that they are going to release a new version with only improved features for video?

You got the big nose perspective here.  Probably better off with a olympus 45mm for this kind of shot.

What fast lens is recommended?

If you want to spend the money there is this $650 compact zoom...
