[Bryson]

Just to clarify, the FlashAir can be used with the iPhone and OM-D?

Yup.

Its easy to use and its good for transfering individual or small number of photos.

That Body Cap Lens idea is just a stroke of retro brilliance

How much will that one be in S'pore?

 

[richardy]

Have been using the FlashAir since early this year. I find it more user friendly than Eye Fi. I have both and I have given up on Eye Fi - Too hard to understand.

Nothing wrong with the Eye Fi .. its so easy to setup its not funny
I have mine setup to upload from camera to phone .. then phone to net .. then net to home .. really .. 1-2-3 ..


EPL5 is at 649.99(body only) and EPM2 549.99
the lens cap is pre order at 49.99 usd ..
Making me wonder if I had gone wrong choice with the OMD

Are there any fast Eye-Fi cards available? The last time I checked I could only find slower cards.

How much is the RRP for the FlashAir cards now a days? Where can I find it?

OMD will not be a "wrong" choice.

I didn't like the soft squishy buttons on the EM5. And the EVF was not that great so ......maybe this EPL5 is a better choice

 

[theITguy]

Does this uses the same battery as the OMD? It will be a good second body to the OMD.

Bls-5, same as pen, different from omd.

Define fast ..

I'm not a professional .. but if I can snap 15fps before the camera slows down .. I think it is plenty fast enough for me ...
I have a class 10 16gb that comes with the camera .. never had the need to use it yet ..

we digress .. whether flashair is faster or have more space I do not know

E-PL5

the OMD doesn't have water color can't flip the screen 180 ...
everything else you can do with the EPL5 ;(

 

[Emerpus]

EPL-5 does not have IBIS and the dual control dials ... It's "less usable" for me ... But that's me

There's ibis just not the same 5 axis as omd

Ya ... That's a more accurate way to put it

It's the Toshiba booth, they were doing a promo for their memory cards and etc. So I don't think it is any of the shops that we normally go buy out camera toys from.

I got 8GB FLUCARD but it's from TREK. The 8GB card is selling just under $60 @ Challenger Funan.

Flashair and Flucard are similar BUT 2 DIFFERENT things
