Re: Proud owner of a new Olympus E-PL6

Depending on quality of the screen protectors and how much you plan on scuffing the screen, of course. I don't change mine for many months, if at all, but I'm very careful with my equipment.

There should be those basic power saving features.

Regarding long exposure noise, you'd be subtracting a dark frame anyway. If you plan on doing a series of long exposures in a row, make one dark frame of the same duration as the exposure (many astro stacking programs include an option to upload a dark frame exposure). Otherwise there should be an option to enable long exposure noise reduction--that automatically creates and subtracts a dark frame for every long exposure photo. So your 30-second exposure will take 60 seconds in total. You can disable that if you'd rather save time and create one dark frame for all subsequent 30-second exposures and apply it later yourself with computer software.
