Hey Megan! Congratulations on your new camera! The E-5 is a great camera! I've seen some awesome images from that beauty! Personally, it would have been a No. 1 choice for me if I did not have to go with the lighter weight system.

Great shots! Being a big fan of b&w photography, I have to say you did a fine job with the above images. BTW, just recently (before my EM5 decision) I purchased the Panasonic GF1 as a 2nd camera just for the multiple options of shooting in b&w. Most people do conversions, but I never lost the love of just looking through the VF at b&w images and going from there! The GF1 has become my carry-around-with-me camera and I love it.

All of us here know that feeling of opening up a box for the first time when there is a new camera inside! So have fun! Keep posting those pics.
