Very poor! Of course the FF will defeat on ISO, and the D810 is a (slightly) larger sensor, but your graphic here is pushing +5EV! Who ever needs to push +5! Here's a better comparison. I post this ...

I was told don't pan! It's not and good thing even in movies! People seem to think panning and camera movement is necessary, yet it's something most directors only do when there's good reason: ...

I just saw the Canon EOS 5D MK 1V and they have implemented (gasp!) touch screen! For 3,500USD vs 1,000US$ I know for sure the real-world difference in price/weight is not worth it for most users. ...

I regret selling my Panny 14mm f2.5. It worked well with the E-Mg MK1 and E-PL-5 with which I sold it to finance the E-M5Mk2 and 12-40 Pro. As for the 17mm F1.8 "very sharp if you understand how to ...

Quite correct. I'm not interested in Panasonic body experience as I have Olympus bodies. "Play well" was used to cover just about any everyday photographic use, and people have responded accordingly. ...

I've posted on FB groups, and others have also had this particular problem and Olympus repaired them under warranty.

Nice captures! I need it for indoor work, but as a workaround it has great potential.

Thanks for all the replies. 1) I want to use it indoors, so the extra FOV will come in handy. 2) It seems people with Olympus bodies confirm no issues, and it's a tad sharper. The rumoured Oly 25mm ...

Hi, No easy access to shops here in China for in-store comparisons, so please share you experiences. I have the E-M5 Mk1 1 and 2. Most reviews suggest the Panasonic is better than the Oly 17mm. ...

I'm not extraordinarily careful with my gear either. Scuffs and scratches don't bother me at all. It's nice to see most people have not had a problem. Mine's often on-camera in my padded backpack, ...

Then buy from a reputable store where you can be as sure as possible. As much as possible, I try and support bricks and mortar stores anyway as they offer me the ability to try stuff before I buy, ...

Haha! Mine is worse! Me: 2 camera bodies, various lenses, long time enthusiast with occasional paid work. Wife: iPhone 6+ and degree in interior design. Sometimes her photos make me want to give ...

...with the Mk1 or 2. Maybe others do? Is it the Oly grip like mine? David.

Ah! I have the E-M5 Mk1 and 2, not the E-M1! I think the E_M1 Mk2 is not likely to be seen until 2017, and I wouldn't buy until 6 months after launch unless there's a compelling reason. Have you ...

I have the MK1 and it's been wonderful. I also have the MK2, which has some features that are definitely better *if you need them*.  Olympus Thailand had an amazing 20% discount if bought with the ...

I'm sorry I forgot to update this. I've been so busy leaving full time work to go freelance. The in-camera hiss is all about the microphone to subject distance. The further away the subject, the ...

No text.

Update: Olympus China had to be reminded via Japan to reply to me, but they say they have replaced all the power switch parts and I now have the camera back. Of course it's the same condition as it ...

Others have reported similar issues and had replacement switches, so I'm returning mine to Olympus via an email to Japan to complain about Olympus China not replying to emails! It's a shame because ...

Our prices are higher because the manufacturers have to offer a 2-year warranty, and I guess because of the powerful protection a consumer has. I think I'd prefer this to lower prices and higher ...
