Great.  I took a quick glance. I don't know but I guess it's possible. A few years that I went to Photoplus, there was a high-ranking Japanese Olympus executive there to oversee the turnout and ...

If you're in the New York City area. I just watched Joe edelman's tog chat tonight and he said he'll be at Adorama in New York City from 3 to 7 with a few models you can shoot with the new e-m1X.! ...

"Honest question - are people really holding 70-200/2.8 by the camera body only?"

Well they shouldn't be. When I bought my first SLR in 1976 (Konica), the first paperwork I pulled out of...

Olympus is a Japanese company. In Japan, photographing trains is a popular pastime. That's why it was developed.

In the 1970s, when I decided to update my Kodak Instamatic 😁 and buy my first...

Olympus already has a 40-150 F/2.8 PRO zooms. With the 1.4 teleconverter it becomes a 112-420mm F/4 zoom (35mm EFL).

I hear your alarm going off! Time to wake up!!

This Canon pro sports photographer stopped using his F/2.8 zooms in favor of the new F/4s to save on weight and neck strain which is more likely using 2 or 3 1D Xs at a time. The m.zuiko...

It's the m4/3rds equivalent to those cameras at half the price. For all that extra money, the Canon, Nikon and Sony had better be better, BUT the Olympus has some tricks up its sleeves the others...

Two batteries not three. In the real world this camera will get well over a thousand shots.

Olympus'...

It was totally predictable ahead of time that no matter what this camera offered there would be a slew of negative comments towards it.

Now for the good news! Psychiatrists are finally having...

Trends come and go. If a photographer chooses a camera based on "a current trend" and not more important factors, God help him!

Global warming?

Is that like a global shutter overheating?

Custom lens focus direction? I can do that on my six-year-old Olympus EM-1 along with dozens of other custom options. At this point, custom lens focus direction is old hat.
