Too big and too expensive for me i bet, my guess would be £2500-£3000
It certainly is a serious lump of optics......................plus interesting that they have gone "white" for it.
I await to see just how sizeable a 'chunk of change' it will hit the UK shores @ ??? Also, the first real-world reviews
PS the first pictures are the mock up from a while back and have no switch markings, the last picture though is perhaps more recent. However, it does seem it might hit the market a tad earlier than many pundits suggested???
The concensus of opinion on one of the other M43 forums is that it could be £5000+ !
I don't think it's only going to be white. Park Cameras have it available for pre-order in black.

I'm not sure ETTR is necessary these days tbh, in fact the likes of Nikon are going the other way and tending to underexpose to save highlights knowing shadow recovery is so good. Shadow recovery on Olympus is pretty decent these days, I just try to get the correct exposure now.
Yep, whatever works. I find ETTR then adjusting doesn't seem to make the images pop as much, but maybe that's just in my head As you say, for action etc it's not an ideal solution, plus where action is constantly changing I'd rather make sure that nothing's clipping. I can't remember then last time I underexposed an image and the blacks were clipped beyond recovery, but it's easy to do with the highlights. As already said though, it's whatever works for the individual, as long as they're getting the results they want that's what mattersMust admit that I'm firmly in the ETTR camp, using the histogram in the display plus the highlight / shadow clipping warnings. It's something (ETTR) I've done pretty much from getting my first digital camera. In my experience, and as decent as Olympus can be with shadow recovery, I've always had better results to my eye with ETTR than lifting shadows. If I don't ETTR, then I'll bracket and exposure blend - of course that's totally useless for action and wildlife photography. The biggest challenge I find with ETTR is not clipping the red channel, particularly at sunrise or sunset. The luminance histogram can look fine, but you can still have one or more (often the red) of the RGB channels clipped which can cause issues.
Always more than one way to skin a cat as they say!

That is superb! Well done!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

Thanks , it will be interesting to see which variant (black or white?) comes to market (UK?) first and at what price............not that I could afford it ?
Down to your yacht in the med no doubt LOLI'm glad someone replied - I'm travelling down through France and Spain at the moment so only accessing the forum at irregular intervals!

I should be so lucky - hopefully some birding/photography in Extremadura and then some golf.
I'm also very interested as in a few weeks time we are driving through Portugal to southern Spain. I'm hoping to get some bird photography in, but haven't researched it yet.To

Thanks. I agree, not my favourite from the day or the ones I submitted and this was more of an experiment, but I'm glad to have won either wayCongrats Toby, if only I'd known we were allowed to photoshop our submissions I might have done the same.
Thing is, I don't think this is your best image, I like the one of JP hitching a ride with Collard, I thought that was more "on theme".
Is there a way of converting the EM1 Mk 2 to back button focussing?
Yes, but......... I would need to look it up again to remind myself which "gear" menu section is ? Suffice to say I have allocated it to the L-fn button and only when using C-AFIs there a way of converting the EM1 Mk 2 to back button focussing?
