Re: So much unhappiness!

Hi Frederic,

I do realize that my post is overly negative. I've gotten some very reasonable replies, lots of good advice, and also some poorly-considered words. Actually, there's many things I do like about Olympus, and especially about the E-M1, which is why I'm considering a change of optics. I love the size and the build of it, the EVF, the IBIS (also in video, it looks great!), the many controls, the bundled flash, etc. This has become more and more complicated to ponder for me as the camera's price in Korea has fallen again, leaving me with a net loss if I sell it (something I didn't quite expect when I bought it), but also the rear dial on my E-M1 is finally starting to respond, which is a welcome surprise. I think I might just get the Panasonic 14-140mm version 2 and some legacy fast and long lens, or a Canon with the Kipon adapter. We'll see.
