Oh, I missed the sarcasm I blame it on being poorlyI don't think he's actually complaining or hates the camera

I'm thinking more irony than sarcasmAre you suggesting he lowered himself to sarcasm.
That's OK then.I'm thinking more irony than sarcasm
It shows, in the images you're posting hereROFPMSL. Yep it was a joke post , I totally love this camera . Now got it running better than anything I have ever used before
A couple of red deer shots from me with the
5mkii & 75-300mm, from a morning up on the moors. Thick mist obscured everything to start with, but did lift a little.

Nice! I'm glad you shared this. I'm going up to London tomorrow and I was going to leave this lens at home. I bought one second hand and I haven't used it as much as I thought I would. Definitely needs an airing!Took my Oly 12mm f2 out for a walk first thing this morning.

It's a lovely little lens

That will be me today with the PenF. I have the 12-40 also, but want to travel light. The rain may make any photography difficult though. Also going to a concert tonight so will take the 75mm 1.8. I don't have the 25mm but I love the 17mm which was as wide as i was going to go.... until I saw your picI have the 12-40mm f2.8, but if I want to carry a lightweight setup the 12mm f2 (along with the Oly 25mm and 45mm f1.8) is a fantastically versatile option. Great for wandering around a town or city . I also love using the prime lenses - a great way to slow down and force you to think about your compositions rather than just rely on the ability to zoom.
Cheers,
Simon.
Well I'm gutted to say I missed out on this weekend due to having (and still have) gastroenteritis. Blooming' typical as it was a great weekend of racing with some high controversy and PMR's first win. I'm still waiting to hear whether I'm still going to get the camera and merchandise or not now.Seems like we're on a roll here, I've just found out I've won another Olympus competition winning a VIP place at the Brands BTCC as well as the new Olympus Tough TC-6 Camera and some Power Maxed Racing Merchandise
Here's what the comp was if you're interested.

This was my winning shot. The judge informed me that there was a lot of deliberation as it's been obviously photoshopped but they decided that it's the final image that counts

Sorry to hear that Toby, but I'm sure there'll be other opportunities for you. Hope you're feeling better soon.Well I'm gutted to say I missed out on this weekend due to having (and still have) gastroenteritis.

Thanks guys. Yep a real shame, but at least I've been able to enjoy one amazing experience already
I would imagine it’s difficult to have HSS in hi res mode as it’s taking multiple shots so maybe you need to keep to the flash sync speed when using hi res? What is the flash sync of the EM5-II?I'm getting black bars across the frame on my EM5 MK2 in Hi Res mode using flssh unless I drop down to 120th second shutter speed.
Any ideas guys?
I'm using the max f8 but thought it was meant to be ok with a higher shutter speed than this?

Sounds great, and EM1-II in a nice looking body. Shame they've still not upped the screen resolution, they're starting to fall behind.Ahead of the scheduled E-M5iii and E-PL10 announcements tomorrow the "full specs" for the 5iii are out.

Too rich for me
$1199 (body only), $1799 (w/14-150mm lens)
Odd, it got it updated a couple of weeks ago, but the workspace program is pretty nice tooI am not sure if this has been mentioned before/recently:-
Re: updating Olympus firmware
I have been using the OLYMPUS Digital Camera Updater and had to get the most recent version when the firmware v3 came out. I have been more than happy with the method ,though would prefer the method to be more like Canon i.e. downloadable file.
However, I was checking and found the "OLYMPUS Digital Camera Updater" is no longer available.....................clicking the link to get it takes you to the Olympus Workspace download page!
Why? The original updater was lean and 'did what it said on the tin' but going forward (when the updater will no longer actually perform a firmware update) I will need to install the equivalent of 'bloatware' just for doing the updating
So thats more money than my OMD EM1 MkII bodyAhead of the scheduled E-M5iii and E-PL10 announcements tomorrow the "full specs" for the 5iii are out.

It was nice having a lightweight standalone program to do it but I can only say they have done this to simplify things for them. I read online you can update via a file on the SD card but it looks to not be aimed at consumers as the the updater program does more than just update the firmware (makes additional checks & stores user settings)I am not sure if this has been mentioned before/recently:-

M4/3 crop ability is a lot better than people say for sure, I'm always impressed with the m4/3 system. However, FF does crop better and I can see quite a reduction in the IQ of that crop, but I assume you've gone past 1:1 with that?well the main argument against MFT used by the full frame brigade is noise and crop ability .. so lets put it to bed first shot is from yesterdays all in focus burst of the gulls playing with there food (rat) and its full size un-cropped followed by a massive crop version from the same frame .
milords I rest my case... in fact if you look closely you can even see the bloody whiskers on the rat

So am I right in thinking with the new EM5 MK3 you're getting an EM1 MK2 in a smaller body or have I missed something?
Looks like it to me. I've always thought the EM5 to be the prettiest OMD, but the EM1 the most ergonomic.So am I right in thinking with the new EM5 MK3 you're getting an EM1 MK2 in a smaller body or have I missed something?
