Went down to the service centre today and they told me that the shutter is spoilt and the repair costs was $400. They offered a trade in for the EM 5 mark II for about $1200 but I declined the repair and the trade in. Am I right to think that a repaired shutter for $400 is not worth it? Quite...

Thanks guys for your good advice. I did not drop the lens cap. Just took it out and put in my bag and the next moment found that little springs in the Center Pinch Snap on Front Cap came out and everything just fell apart. Strange. Anyway thinking of getting one from lazada...

Friday was an eventful day for my Em 5 bought in June 2013. First the lens cap for the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO broke. Never knew a lens cap could break so easily. Then after shooting for some time the Em 5 could not power on anymore. I did not drop it or anything like that, anyway...

I bought my OMD EM 5 last year june which has 1 year +3 months extended warranty . I recently noticed what I think is a dead pixel on the camera sensor from the pictures I have taken. Any idea if this problem is covered under the warranty? Thanks

Just got a new DSLR with lenses. My first DSLR actually. I already have a dry box, so can I keep my lenses and camera with lots of silica gel to keep the fungus away from lenses or is it necessary to get a dry cabinet to control humidity?

Thanks gizmo! That worked ! Shows what a noob I am with my first non fixed lens camera !

Need some help guys. Now in Korea with the pro 12-40 lens. For some reason I cannot get the lens to auto focus . There is no beep sound or green focus box. Checked through the settings, even reset them, put in and take out the lens but cannot get it to work. Manual focus no problem. Is there...

Took some shots and truly a good camera but trying to figure out how to configure the settings is not easy. Example that I seemed to configure the super control panel on the Aperture priority mode to appear but the next time round it does not appear and sometimes the control display settings I...

Went down to MS colour today and finally got the elite Em5 kit with the 12-40 pro lens for $1820. Burn a big hole in my pocket though it was a good offer especially when they threw in the grip, 40-150 lens and extra battery. Have not used it much as the interface are all alien to me as I only...

The M S colour looks very good esp since they are giving a free 40-150 mm along with the extra battery and HLD6. Better having a free battery than previous month's free gift of a luggage as the free gift!

Is the 12-40mm lens packaged with the em5 elite weather sealed? I know the 12-50mm F3.5-6.3 is weather sealed but what other olympus lenses are weather sealed?

Congratulations to a nice guy. Your baby will certainly be well documented by wonderful pictures and videos.

Qoo was out of stock then replenised very quickly. More choices for all of us.

Am I right to say essentialy the MS colour is same as the Olympus May promotional offer except they throw in the 40-150 mm lens as well?

SO currently have 3 offers to consider: The from QOO(just sold out) , harvery norman and MS colour!
