I'm sorry. But I wonder how many people out there are like me and we just simply don't do cloud.

I don't do Iphone cloud on my phone, I don't do google cloud on my tablet, I don't use internet...

I was on a ski trip last week.My em5 and 20 1.7 fit in my ski jacket pocket.  The em5 and 25 1.4 do not.Other than when I have size constraints, I prefer the 25 1.4 for this general focal length...

But, that's like film!!  I keep the raws and only create JPGs of the few I'm outputting.I use DXO, Lightroom and Capture One - all have made significant improvements in the last few years.All three...

The Canon these days is the 5dMkIII which was a substantial upgrade from the mkII.  The E5 is a great camera!  But if I'm going to grab a kit that large I grab the 5dmkIII.  I'm using the em5 with...

Optically they are fine on the EM5.  The sensor being better than on the E5 really shows how much more these lenses have to give.  Just the focusing is a touch too slow.  Rumors are persistent that...

I have hopes the new f2.8 zoom offerings from Olympus might bring an SHG level zooms to the m4/3rds format.The recent 17 f2.8 prime isn't promising.  The Panasonic 14-35 is not even close to the...

I liked how Olympus had the quality level of the lenses sd, hg, shg all laid out so it was clear what market and overall capability you were getting.The m4/3 lens lineup is a bit of a mess.  Still...

I was never a fan of the 14-42 on m4/3rds.  And I skipped the em5 kit lens as all reviews I saw showed it was worse.I love my SHG's zooms on the full size 4/3 cameras but have not seen the...

got the 20 1.7 when the ep1 first came outcouple years later I got the em5 and then added the 25 1.4 I prefer the 25 1.4 but when I want small, like when I throw the em5 into this smallish bike...

I've been enjoying primes and IS on the Olympus side for a long time.  Be nice to have the same with the FF sensor.I picked up the 100mm IS macro a couple of months ago and it's a great lens.  To...

It's funny that the OP brought up what did people do before digital.  Well, if you're talking about photographers of most fine art work you see from the pre-digital era, we worked with our...

I've got an E1 which had the magic Olympus colors.  I've never really seen them in the newer Olympus cameras I have.I always shoot raw which with either C1 or DXO I'm getting calibrated results....

Nice hint - I'll check that out.The problem is there are tons of hidden short cuts like that.  But the average user will not be aware of them or retain knowledge of them.  No need to lose the start...

Well - that's good given how many people that want to shut down their pc properly are not going to figure out how to anymore and will simply turn it off!!Now 4 steps to get to the shut-down choices...

I've been playing with Win8 for some time.I've not found anything that ran on Win7 that doesn't run on Win8.Many aspects of the desktop experience have been improved.  For instance copying is...

Ditto on Reflect - free for most usersOne of the only cloning packages that properly offset the partition for SSD drives which is how I first discovered it.I've used Acronis for years, but it's...

A shot during the 160 mile one day 'RAIN' ride (ride across Indiana from this year)

I shot with the 5dIII and the EM5.  I shot most often with the EM5 as most of the time, it fills the need with less size and weight.For indoor shooting, the EM5 with it's 5 stop IS and a fast prime...

but neither has issues with chromatic CAI use the 25 1.4 and the 20 1.7I use DXO raw converter which properly corrects the lenses.  The camera jpegs also work fine.Both lenses require correction -...

no way to answer a post like this when the 'if such and such' is actually false
