shot a wedding on Sunday, used EM5 mainly for pics and EPL5(w/ 12-50mm) for video, going through the footage of the video absolutely bang on, its really impressed me. EM5 performed great too and it was great knowing I now don't have to lug a big 1DSmk2 with L lenses around to get the shots.

Solely with the em5 Dave? Did the Canon stay home?

I read a wedding togs blog a few months back who used 3 em5's for his weddings and he said it worked really well.

Good to hear anyway!

yep, was a freebie mates wedding and my other friend was there with his Canon set up; I haven't taken on any paid work this year just the jobs that were booked last year, until I get a proper plan of what I want to offer and which market to offer to I am going to hold back a bit, 2012/2013 was too much all over the place and although I got through them all without problems I was left in a right mess..

that all over I can see where EM5's are more than up to the job, and the EPL5 for video(and some kickass fisheye shots) was more than capable, used the Tascam DR07ii to record sound, sync up in Premiere, job done.

Have not been out for a month due to ill health, but cabin fever and a itchy shutter fingergot the better of me and I went to Brum for a hour to look at the new library building, knocked me about but I enjoyed it.

[wontolla]

Yes but not a lot different to the 5

Certainly not enough to warrant a change anyway.

 

[damianmkv]

So that's a "no" then. @minnnt will buy one ( I'm sooo funny )

 

[minnnt]

I won't.... I promise...

 

[XFile2708]

I won't.... I promise...

Not tonight anyway

 

[minnnt]

Shut it you. You've already made me go looking at the x100s...

 

[XFile2708]

I'll have to try harder if you've still not bought one yet

 

[minnnt]

Yeah you're loosing your touch, but you did well enough to make me trundle off to YouTube to watch some reviews. You naughty man.

 

[yamahatdm900]

Really impressed with it so far David - the sharpness I'm getting with it is superb and really liking the high DOF you can get as well

Does this work for anyone. It was taken with a 10 stop filter and 15 second but I'm not sure of it. Part of me is yes but most of me is saying I could of done better.

 

[minnnt]

Hi Matt. 15 seconds isn't long enough and by the looks of the sky it was just an overcast day? If you hadn't have mentioned the exposure time I would have thought it was just a normal shot.

 

[matt b]

They were my thoughts.
