I'll post a thread about my new E-M5.

I would appreciate it. I have an E-M5 pre ordered with the 12-50mm kit. I have been reading reviews here and there and it seems like a solid camera. Some things I would like to read about would be dynamic range and battery life. My NEX 7 really uses power and extra batteries is a must. I would think as quickly as Olympus put out a grip the E-M5 would be the same as the EVFer will more than likely put a drain on it.
I also traded some unused gear and picked up a 9-18mm for landscaping. I know Liz loves that lens. I have mixed feeligs about the E-M5. I really think that mirrorless cameras are getting really expensive.
My son pretty much uses my NEX 7 more than me. I rarely see it anymore. He is coming to get it again this weekend.lol
So the E-M5 is going to be mine. I am going to use it as a light weight carry all. I am wondering if I should just pick up extra batteries and keep it small or swing for the grip later?

It looks like I've hit the magic tenth post so I might be able to start a review thread with images!.
