E-M5 It's Here...

[Greg McCary]

Liz it is certainly more complicated. As many Olympus cameras as I have owned I am going thru growing pains. There are many programmable buttons. Maybe to many. It's really not a great deal bigger the the E-M5. I have ran into a few quirks. The IS with the 75-300mm is so so. At 250mm and up the keeper ratio really drops. It must have a beefed up shutter in it as it seems louder and if I hold the camera lightly I can actually feel the shutter shift when it fires.
There are a couple of settings that is suppose to help but I don't think that it has. There is a thing called shutter shake and I am thinking that maybe the issue. You can google it. I'll post a nice review after I really get some time in with it.

Greg,

Did you have the same problem with the E-M5? I think I read that both cameras are prone to shutter shock, especially with that lens (if I remember correctly). I know I read about it in a few reviews before purchasing the E-M5. The longest lens I have is the 40-150mm and haven't tried it on the E-M5.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of the E-M1. I'm not looking to purchase it - loving the E-M5 too much and the E-M1 is way beyond me in many ways. Just curious as to how much difference there is.

Thanks for posting about it.

Liz

Yes I had some shutter shock with the E-M5. The E-M1 seems to be a little worse. Mostly above 250mm. It's why I wonder if it has a different type shutter. But I will certainly put it through the paces and give a full review.
