Long Exposure

Tried this while goofing around with the EP-1 last night:

I'm starting to really like the 4:3 aspect ratio.

The 4:3 aspect ratio isn't perfect for me. But neither is 2:3. I find I crop my 4:3 images a bit more rectangular and my 2:3 images a bit more square. So my natural inclination is somewhere in-between. I don't lock myself into the format the camera provides. Almost all of my photos end up with a custom crop that compliments the subject and composition.

Have you tried any action with the Olympus yet? I've had reasonable results, as long as I use the EVF. Without the EVF it's next to impossible to pan or frame a subject that's moving quickly.

Which is why I'm so annoyed at being an early adopter and not waiting for the E-P2.
But there was no indication it was coming so quickly :(

I haven't tried any action stuff with it yet. I noticed that the hot shoe is there so theoretically I could snap on my RF-602 (straight outta Hong Kong) wireless transmitter and use my wireless slaves with it. I think the EP-1 would look hilarious with my whopper Nikon SB-900 hanging of the top.
