I do not want to have to rely on internet access to get my work done.
I don't want to have to deal with slow internet connections, or an overloaded server, when my own machine is blazingly fast with the stand alone PS.
I don't want my work in the "bow down to God" cloud.
I don't like having to subscribe; give me my tool and leave me alone!
All change isn't necessarily better; I tried some cloud based SW, and it stank!
marike6: DPR is giving a lot of attention to this camera in a sense arguing that because of the fast lens, the small 1/2.3" sensor is good enough for an enthusiast compact. Oddly, with the Pentax Q, the first ever ILC with a 1/2.3" sensor, DPR didn't even bother to review it,
So now because it's Olympus, a kind of darling of DPR, people are supposed to be excited about this camera?
Don't plan on buying either camera, but I find it odd how some unique or interesting cameras get no attention and some more bland cameras get tons.
That's funny; a few years ago, you were accused on being way too sweet on Canon. Thanks for all your intros; you have always presented a refreshingly professional approach to all your work.

I agree 100%. Never again will I buy a camera without one. Fuji did it, so can Canon. Of course, this is not intended to be a pro camera. Try following gulls on a brightly lit beach! Go on, try it! Trivial with an SLR; nearly impossible using a screen at arms length obliterated by sunlight. You can't even tell if it's focused, let alone see them. The whole idea of these smaller cameras is convenience, less expensive lenses and SLR quality. Being able to follow action and visualize focus is still essential.
I believe this is a good capability that relates back directly to the item, rather than having it appear in multiple forums. Nicely done!
