Yup that's the sale of the century there ;)
I paid £275 for a lightly used one in January but I took it to Amsterdam, Japan and Lisbon in the mean time so I'll not moan too much :)

They're still at that, up to just over £300 used [like new] on MPB, so great deal indeed, to get full warranty and a brand new, pristine body. I'd get one myself if I had spare funds
 
stretching the limits cause I bought another lens on Monday 45-150 panasonic , but it couldn't be left at that price , spotted one on e/bay from SRS last night for £349 with cash back ,so I though I would have a look at there website to see what other offers there were ,and I was reading the specs when the page went down around midnight ,next think it pops up with a £50 reduction bringing it down to £299 ,phoned this morning to verify it was genuine and bought it on the spot ,plus having bought from SRS before I know there a genuine u.k company
 
the old-10-mkii has just turned up ,battery on charge ,put in for cash back ,pity it comes with a disc as my i.mac doesn't have a reader

I found this an interesting little video,didn't teach me a lot but raised the question in my mind does anti shock mode hinder action shots.

 

How is your head this morning after all that studying ;)
 
Why, when I view .orf thumbnails on my pc, do the .orf files produced by my em5 mk1 show an image, whilst the .orf files produced by my em10 mk2 do not?

I just added photoshop as an edit program, view full screen and right click to edit in another program.
 
Does this thread include the Pen-F or is there a separate thread for Pen models ?

I’m after a half case for mine and hoped someone could recommend one....

What's the condition on it? They range from £369 [good] all the way to £464 [like new] on MPB depending - If you got him to let it go for £300 and it's in good nick you got a bargain I say. Still a very nice camera, and one that could be fun to adapt some old FT lenses too.

It is still the second best all-round m43 stills camera there is (unless long exposures are your thing).

There's an eBay seller who will ship you the full manual printed and coil bound - not just the quick start guide - for about a fiver.
I got one and it's quite handy. I think they print on demand from the PDF - they have lots of other camera manuals listed

The earlier Olympus cameras were included in the Camera Codec Pack that Microsoft made available for Windows 8.
My E-PL5 .orf files show thumbnails but not the E-M10 or E-M10 Mkii.
That pack was included in Windows 10 but has never been updated :(

It's something I think Olympus could resolve but they don't seem interested.
