Olympus E-M5 III - The Best Consumer Camera Ever
8

I truly believe that this is the camera. THIS is the camera that will make my photos professional quality. It's well known in technology that the third generation is always where a product reaches it's apex, before forced iteration sets in. For example, the iPhone 3GS was the model that launched iPhone into the smartphone stratosphere.

Back in my younger days, before I learned better, I bought the fourth generation, the E-PL5. At first it was an amazing camera - I was over the moon and just about to start up a fledgling professional photography business thanks to its world-class scene modes. Then one day, the E-PL6 was announced and my E-PL5 immediately stopped working. I did some research on reddit and discovered that once a new model of camera is released, the old one immediately stops working, forcing you to upgrade. But my iPhone3GS still works to this day, thus I learned my lesson.

I believe this camera will intellgiently compensate for my lack of skill as a photographer and channel my inner creativity to create amazing photographs using its incredible art filters. All I needed was for technology to unlock my god-given talents to create memorable photographs for years to come, and this is the first camera ever that will let me take 50MP Hi-Res photos of brick walls, parking lots, and my cat using the art filters.

The camera's also so incredibly stylish that it will fuel my passion for street photography - beautiful people will turn their heads with intrigue at silver and black hipster contraption around my neck, break into a wry smile, and I'll snap epic portraits using my bleeding-edge Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 "Pannycake" lens, the best street photography lens in the world. Just as soon as I buy it used for $159.00.

I can't wait to show off my shiny new thing on Twitter and Instagram - people will be amazed at the incredible photos a regular guy like me can suddenly take! And deep down I'll know the secret behind the magic - it's all because of this incredible little camera. It made me who I am.

Well when I read the first few lines the palms of my hands were rising to my face.

Then I "got it" . Good one.

What sarcasm?   Another attempt to cast doubt about the most transformative piece of photographic technology since the invention of the press pass? The addition of the Optional Groupie is going to make "Olympus: Orgasmic" the marketing line of the new century. Groupies are already lining up outside stires to fawn over the visionary photographers buying this latest model.

I know you're being sarcastic but some people here have actually posted stories about how they love how their PEN-F attracts attention on the street.
