I'm looking to purchase a Olympus 12-40 f/2.8 Pro. I have a E-PM2 body. From what I read, E-PM2, OMD EM-5 and OMD EM-10 all have essentially the same sensor. Would E-PM2 + Olympus 12-40 have comparable image quality as OMD EM-5 or EM-10 + Olympus 12-40? Or should I invest in a new camera body to complement the Olympus 12-40?
That lens is worth owning even if you have no camera
Basically it gets down to how you hold a camera, with a lens like that the left hand holds the lens and body and the right hand does the usual thing.
Any of the 16MP sensors are just great (and all have much the same image quality) compared to the old 12MP sensor.
I find the 12-40mm is fine on my not much bigger E-PL5. Makes a nice combination and the extra bulk and better hand holding makes for less shake problems.

I think maybe the custom made wrist strap is about 80% of the answer though.

I need to make one of those wrist straps for the E-PM2 - the shoulder strap is really overkill. I need that lens too...
ps: There must be some good quick release shoulder straps out there - any tips on some that won't scratch the body?

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
