Olympus OMD M1

[Mark twiglet]

Who has got one of these four third cameras? Any good? Does it have twin sd card slots?

 

[Nawty]

It doesn't have twin card slots but is a cracking camera nonetheless. There are a few owners on here and they are genera very happy.

I was about to buy one until the Em5 mk ii was released....

Have a read of the OM thread Mark https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/olympus-om-d-e-m5-e-m1-e-m10-owners-thread.395080/ lots of good info on the M1 and lots of people who have moved from Canikon and other makes and are very happy happy.

did I really type happy twice? Freudian slip?

I have an EM1, just selling an EM5 and about to buy another dslr.
It's a great camera and even though there is a new EM5 mk2 coming out shortly, I don't think, from what I have read, that it will be knocking the EM1 off the top spot, especially with new firmware coming out for it next week.
I can heartily recommend it.
To quote TVRTim, " I'm happy happy with it"

A pro camera without twin sd slots ? Why

 

[Nawty]

Because it's small?

Who cares, it is what it is.

Why your obsession with twin slots, do you not have pockets?

 

[Longimanus]

Happy with mine, but do miss twin sd slots

Shoot weddings! Twin slots are required as back up in case one goes wrong! It's happened before

People shot weddings for years and still do on cameras with single card slots. The canon 5d was the de facto wedding camera for years followed by the mkii which loads of pro's still use and neither had twin slots!

 

[Mark twiglet]

The 5d only has one? Wow never knew that

How many Pro's only take one camera to a wedding shoot ? if your seriously worried about a memory slot failing on a modern camera your probably the type of person who worries about being hit by a meteorite

 

[Mark twiglet]

Not worried about a memory slot! But I've had an sd card currupt before and lost the lot!

 

[Nawty]

I guess if you've had one fail before then you're going to be paranoid about it.

Imagine what it was like in the days of film!

 

[Mark twiglet]

It was at a christening so wasn't so bad but if it was a wedding and you lost the lot without a back up then how's the bride gonna feel ! I shoot all portrait shoots with back up too just in case!
