It's a pretty good overview, thanks.

Thanks for a well-considered response. I can see that the extra features can be valuable in many situations. After reading your post, I think especially the Pro Capture feature is more valuable ...

What's the difference? Why is E-M5 more expensive and supposedly more professional? E-M10 is priced at 60% of E-M5, and the advantages of E-M5 seem to be minimal: * Another two stops of image ...

I have an Oly E-M5mk2, feel I could upgrade soon. E-M5-mk3 doesn't feel like it's quite worth the hassle, but for a nicer body and some additional features I would consider it, if budget allows it.

You would have to ask a certain Garrett McNamara :=) Sorry about the confusion. He made an amazing video with his tele lens, can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC76The-FMU

Tele compression, people on the photo look closer than they are. Another example:

I will :D But valid point, this solution probably would be inferior to an FF sensor. The advantage for mobile is, primarily, compactness, not IQ.

Need three sensors too:)

Not in post... Well, they could just get faster processors in exchange for money?...

But still, the two other cameras could help estimate the true palette of the image, and enhance the noise removal in the "main" camera.

Advantages similar to iPhone Xi, including: - better noise reduction - zoom with primes, maybe even high-quality crop in post - Simulated bokeh?

Nice shot, could well hang on a wall somewhere

Tried. I think it's salt or something else that sticks really well, not actual dust. Otherwise the Oly dust reduction system would have taken care of that.

Indeed

Thanks! Thought the same. It's a little annoying to know that those spots are there on the sensor, but as long as there is no actual problem then no point in spending time and money to have it solved.

Dust particles on the sensor (Oly E-M5.2) F/18 white exposure with the cam, no signs of the dust

I think the curvy version is better :) It blends in with the lines in the clouds which also seem to curve upwards. So it reinforces an impression of sky and water merging together. Whereas a ...

Amazing and inspiring shot!!

That's very lucky for you. Marin County is beautiful. I've been to the Muir Woods a few times, took a few pictures. Wish I had it had it my neighborhood. I still have a few years till retirement.

You certainly have better weather over there 😀 On the other hand, Oslo has the longest golden hour and some nice winter photo-ops.
