[ closed ] Olympus Announces its latest Micro4/3 camera and lenses - OM-D

[Oly5050]

The NEX 7 on RAW+JPEG will buffer at 9FPS for about 15 frames and then slow down. Remember that these are 24MP files so the raw files can be 60MB+. The high end Sony memory sticks are much faster than a Class 10 SD card but they can only do so much....

Yup you are right. I also realized this. Everything is a balance. Cameras which have too large files, cannot shoot too fast or if can shoot fast, cannot shoot too long. Haha. That is why, the E-M5, is quite impressive. Even at RAW+JPEG (at Large Superfine mode), can still shoot at 9.5 FPS with no apparent end in sight. You all should go and try it. End up shooting so many that after you stop shooting, the card is writing for about 10-15 seconds after you stop.

What SD card were you using? 45mb/s?
Any thoughts on how well the '3D' AF tracking works?

I was using a Transcend 8GB SD class 10 card. I used the same card in the E-M5. It was the same card that went into the Nex7.

3D AF seems to work quite well from what I could gather. It is supposed to be better but I do not really know.

Check out the 9.4 fps burst on the E-M5

Note this was shot with RAW+JPEG

Class 10 should be around 20-22mb/s.

On the Nex7, once you get used to the 3 dials (1 dial for each exposure settings) and the customised functions of each buttons, you wont need to dig into the menu system.

There are so many shortcut possibilities on the NEX 7, I've actually run out of things to assign to the tri-navi. 2 of the 4 menus have unassigned options.

IT show, 1888 with MMF3 weatherproof adapter OR 32GB card. Pre-order only. Expected first shipment 3rd week april. Full payment only or CC installments (i think).

SLRR 1698 with same freebies as show. Left black and still tentative, seems like silver very popular, they will call in next few days to confirm my black set again. If no first shipment, 2nd shipment can only confirm 16GB card at this point. Pre-order but once confirm $200 deposit.

PC show (courts) say expect 1st week April and collect somerset courts... anyway, if prices outside is better, better dont buy from PC show liao...

black is the way to go!

 

[As7eroidS]

btw, 32gb card is v cheap vs a mmf3 adapter. so if buy from PC show, i think shud just go for the adapter freebie.
