E-PM2: Ojito Wilderness

The idea of using a slow card (or buying a GM camera with timelapse mode) is because I want a much lower FPS (compared to holding down the shutter and shooting at full speed).

Not much changes in 1/2s, let alone 1/8th of a second (if it can truly shoot 8FPS).  I currently shot 1 image every 2 seconds, since that's simply how fast my old Fuji F20 shots continuously.  2s between images is pretty much the ideal speed - a bit faster would be OK, but over 1FPS would be "wasteful" and a hassle to review them all.

I like the idea of not wearing out the shutter, but the GM1/GM5's electronic shutter is likely way too slow.  As the plane moves forward, objects that are far away do not move far (in terms of the angle, or pixels) theoretically..but in reality the plane is bouncing around quite a bit in the turbulence/wind.

I've been using my Fuji F20 since 2007, and the shutter still works, and the PM2 costs under $200 now, almost new (ebay), so I'd get my money's worth out of it...

The PM2 seems to have a much faster mechanical shutter than the GM series.  With the delay option (or electronic first curtain?) and fast shutter speed, shutter shock should not be much of an issue.  I would use the 14mm F2.5 lens at F2.8 or F4.0 and base ISO (200?).  I think the resulting shutter speed would be at least 1/500s (I shoot during the day but sometimes near sunset).  I've noticed around 1/320s is borderline for getting sharp images.

It would be great to have 1/1000s shutter speeds, the increased dynamic range of m43, and wider angle lens.
