@ Carol: Is there now an official Olympus (not brand X) USB charger for the E-M1.2/1.3/1X batteries? That could indeed be useful.

Back when Olympus Oz credited the cashbacks to your bank account this always worked. The (multiple) prepaid cards never arrived, and trying to contact anyone about this was impossible. I suspect ...

Stunning work - thanks for the link. ;-)

Buying a tandem is the easy part. Buying a stoker is much more difficult...  :-(

"My Preciousss" would certainly be more appropriate than "What has he got in his pocketses?"  ;-)

FWIW: I bought a lightly used v1 before the v2 came out, mainly for concerts and music festivals. It's been used on an EM5.1, GM5 and IIRC on an EM1.2, all with zero issues re IQ, or IS with ...

If the two lenses on Olympus' latest roadmap actually appear I'll be surprised and impressed. Given there have been no pics and the macro doesn't even have a definite focal length my expectation ...

Having unobtrusive gear helps in quite a few situations. A small silver body with a relatively small lens is going to scare off way less people than an EM1X or FF body with a huge lens attached. ...

This "rental market" might exist in the US, but not in most other places, and definitely not here in Oz...

Given the range, constant aperture, built-in teleconverter, Dual-IS, etc, this is a very complex lens indeed. I'm sure it will be of extremely high quality, and the price, whilst fairly scary to ...

Re Canon bayonet hoods on 40-150 Pro: I bought one after it was mentioned in an earlier thread and it stays attached okay but the fit isn't perfect, and if anything it's even bulkier than the ...

^ The "reputation" for exploding lens hoods is well-deserved; quite a few here can testify about it happening to us. There are threads about it...

Both lenses are entirely capable of yielding good images, even in relatively low light. The P is smaller, lighter, cheaper, nicer to carry, slightly wider at the short end, and has a smaller and ...

Yes - all of the above. Lugging cameras whilst outdoors doesn't count as sport though, but I suppose it's weight training.

First you need to decide why you're out there, as IMHO it's too difficult to do long rides and take many pics at the same time. If cycling matters more, then something like a GoPro with a bike ...

Great work as always! Finding the subjects and visualising the results must take a fair bit, and then there' s creating the images.  ;-)

Sorry, no. When I bought it there was only one option, and it has worked so far. FWIW, I've now bought three generic USB chargers from eBay to suit different battery types and all have been okay. ...

Thank you! Everyone seems to be saying what we'd hope. Now we just have to wait and see...

Do you have a link to the above? I hope it's true. I'd not seen it mentioned before, or any updates on the Olympus/JIP agreement. My impression was that this was meant to be finalised this month, ...

There are small m43 lenses with IS, for instance the Panasonic 12-32 & 35-100 zooms. With IS (wherever it is) one can get away with a slower shutter speed and/or lower ISO for relatively ...
