I am a long time Olympus user without a camera right now. I was thinking of replacing my E-M5 with another and then the D7100 came out. I did not like the grip on the D7000, but was considering one...

Have a look on flickr, look in this groups photo pool  http://www.flickr.com/groups/olympusesystem/    look for shots by a guy named Bryce. He has done a ton of long exposure shots with an E-M5. He...

I think the 12-50 is a very underrated lens. I loved using it, the macro mode was pretty cool too.  I'd buy one again in a heartbeat.

It's not so much what one can do that the other can't. For me it boils down to how close they are in many ways as far as performance but the D7000 can be had for up to $250 less if I buy...

I'm finally in the position to either replace my OMD or sell the only lens I have and move to another system.  I really liked the OMG when I had it, but HAD to have the grip on at all times. There...

Am I in the minority in my thought process, where I would prefer one of these companies to PERFECT a lower MP camera instead of trying to cram more and more MP into every upgrade. 12mp was fine...

I used my OMD with the 12-50 on a photowalk during a downpour.  The camera held up perfect, but most of or many of my shots were terrible because of how much rain got on the lens. Would have been...

That lens is a steal at that price. I bought it with my OMD and it's great for $99  I have some shots of birds that are so sharp you would never know it was taken with a $99 lens.  With a list...

I sold my E-5 and felt I gave up nothing as far as IQ goes with the OMD. I did lose two of the finest lenses in the 50-200SWD and 12-60SWD But I feel what I gained makes up for it, and has more...

WOW Fanboy reference for stating the obvious? I guess maybe I would have been given more credit had I switched from the Canon or Nikon fanboy groups eh?  For years I have been asked by those camps...

I did not read all of the replies, but I read A LOT of them. I think it's obvious the OP has made up his mind already and the title alone shows IMO they are clueless. " Is it time to give up on...

I can't put an exact number on it, but I have suggested or had people ask me about my E-M5 that ended up buying one.  A few people on the forums I frequent told me my posts and images convinced...

I'm sorry if I sound like a Richard here. But as a OMD user and how many people who I know who own and use them I had no other way to reply. If you cannot get photo's of a 3 year old with the OMD...

I bought my son the TG-610 a couple years back. A buddy of mine has the TG-1. His son had it when we went out shooting together and I'll tell ya the images are pretty darn good IMO. Not DSLR...

Yes it CAN do C-AF, can it do it as well as a $3000-$8,000 pro model? No, but for the price it does it just fine. I've seen images of a hawk swooping down over a lake, dragging it's wing and then...

Both B&H and Adorama both no longer show the 75-300mm for sale. 4/3 rumors had an image showing B&H saying it was discontinued. Does this mean there is something new and better ( maybe weather...

I own the 45mm and my next lens purchase is the 60mm macro. Why? because it's macro  lol No seriously though I have seen some images out of the 60mm that are amazing and the 12-50 got me interested...

I don't see how u can say the 12-50 is useless for landscape. You must have a bad copy because myself and several others have used and loved this lens. I've done plenty of landscape and although it...

I personally believe the 12-50 is the most underrated lens Olympus has. Mine is tack sharp, and I love what I call the 3 in one feature. It does macro really well and u can pop it into auto zoom...
