Re: Who's more reliable/less prone to malfunction? - Olympus vs Panasonic

Just yesterday my EM-5 refused to turn on

Plus it had the well know screen bezel crack that got worse and worse until I had it fixed. Also my old EP-3's command dial fell off, and that needed fixing.

I've had 4 Panasonic cameras, treated them just the same and not had any issues with any of them!

Strange as I always felt Panasonic feel cheaper and less well made!

As for lenses, the rubber grip fell off my Panasonic 14-140 (Mk1) and I somehow got fungus in an Olympus 14-42 R.
