Hi OP Not a D5300 vs A6000 comment but hope this gives you more ideas. I was in your shoes a few weeks back (upgrading from P&S for my kid) and I ended up with the Olympus EM10. I've been using it for a few weeks now and these are my thoughts: - great, small(ish) size camera. I played with a...

Yup, I did think about that, even putting on those child locks. Still, my preference is to keep it away rather than make it a challenge for the baby to open or break =) Newbie question (doh) but is there a place to order the cabinets online and get free delivery as well? I think I have seen...

My main problem is actually space. I have a small area on the TV bench but the 50l will be just a little too big. There's a baby in the house so everything needs to be elevated from curious fingers.

All, thanks for the replies. I called up Olympus and they confirmed that the 25mm lens does not come with the blue protective sticker. I'm pretty much set now, only need a dry cabinet for storage and better strap.

Sure, did a quick google and I think I will get the basic DB-036N model for now. Another question. I just picked up my free 45mm lens and I notice the blue protective stickers around the lens. For some reason, there wasn't any blue stickers on the 25mm lens I bought. Don't want to sound...

Thanks guys. Probably should have updated this - I bought the EM10 in the end, with the 25mm lens. So far loving it but need to get used to carrying a bulkier camera. I don't like the strap that came with the camera, so top on my list of things to get is a better sling strap and a camera case...

Do you find it troublesome having to remount the hood every time you take it out? Good point on the hood taking most of the impact on a knock vs. lens rim.

Thanks all for the helpful suggestions. I will aim for the Kenko Zeta or Kenko/Hoya Pro1 series. There are 2 reasons why I want a filter: 1. I'm trying to get the smallest bag possible to carry the EM10 with 25mm lens. The hood might mean I need a bigger bag. 2. I have a kid at home so the...

Probably get flamed for this but I'll ask anyway =) The advice is to get the best I can afford, but for a first time buyer, that is also quite open ended. I just recently bought a EM10, so would like some suggestions on which UV filter to get. I'm getting it more for additional lens protection...

Yeah, I swung by TK yesterday and saw that. That's quite a tempting offer and it's making my decision (ricoh GR V vs Oly EM10) much harder!

Hi all I'm upgrading from a Fuji F30 to something better. I had my heart set on the Oly EM10 (probably with the 25mm f1.8) but recently started looking at the Ricoh GR V. Photos will mostly be for the family, we had a baby recently so wanted better quality photos in lowlight and indoors...

Hi Felix, pardon my ignorance. I've never heard of Nu Foto. Are they trustworthy or dodgy like shops at Sim Lim?

Are there any shops that still sell the GR V brand new? Any idea what is the street price?

Ok, I thought it was too good to be true. Still, that's almost $100 cheaper than the RRP, so it's still money saved. Thanks again.

So it will be $900 less $250? Wow! Plus the possibility of a free 45mm lens, that's quite a good deal.
