So - following some threads here about EM1 is for "PRO" usage... I wonder how many people here are using EM1 for PRO photography.

If you're not using EM1 or GH4, please skip this poll

I'm retired so sell my images + one:one training as a way of making enough money to cover all my costs and have enough over each year to buy at least one "big ticket" item

Before the EM's arrived I shot exclusively canon, APS-C and FF with L lenses but when the EM's came on the scene I was getting bit physically decrepit (old age and abuse of my body with stupid sports when younger ) so I went over to the EM's

There was no noticeable change in sales, if anything they went up but this was primarily because I was getting more widely known and had a growing customer base

I still maintain that for most users its not what you use but how you use it that is important (with obvious exceptions)

I'm wondering what the point of the survey is, what is it you are looking to find out and why?

the point of the survey is to show that there are more enthusiasts using EM1 than Pro photographers. People claim that the target market of the EM1 is the Pro market. and I claim that while some Pro photographers use it, the main target market is enthusiasts and hobbyists who are willing to buy a "pro" branded camera.

Saying that Olympus now "doenst care" about the hobbyist is ridiculous in my eyes. But, let's see the data over the course of this poll
