EM-10 Official! The OM-D for All!

[spidey89]

My friend said it's a dying brand lol... :dunno:
Haha, yeah I think it's a pretty good deal and I like the aesthetics of the EM10.
Having many lens is good as well... but isn't the 40-150mm and 45mm f1.8 a bit similar in that they take portrait shots?

My main concern is how well does it perform in low light situations? And how about moving shots?
Last time I owned a point and shoot Olympus but it performed badly in both situations....

It has improved quite a lot, depends on how fast the subject is moving. Last year I did the review for the E-M1, it was on par with my D3 or even better, but then again, it's comparing something new to something old, but if anything can give me quality as good or better than my D3, it can't be all bad.

Like I tell my friends, there are not bad cameras today, only lousy photographers, as crude as it sounds, go look at the reviews, look at sample images, go feel it for yourself and pick which one you like most. That's the best, after shooting Nikon for about 3-4 years (I was using Olympus before then), despite all the short coming of Olympus, I miss the image quality and lenses the most, as well as the price tag hahaha

Ok, thanks for the replies guys!

I'll probably go down and take a look tmr, hopefully the offer is still there...

I started with EP1 and 17/2.8. Frankly it was a challenge indoors but mft has grown a lot since then. Go and the camera and make sure it's a decision made based on your own guts.

On a side note , Sony just posted losses of US1.2 billion last quarter while Olympus shares went up with the release of the 40-150/2.8. But is this info useful to u wanting a camera ? Probably not

Then you still say!? Hahaha! But honestly I'm surprised to hear that, especially with the success of the A7 series

The camera division probably only makes up a small percentage in Sony.

Their TV, home appliances and computing division have been suffering losses since dun know how long ago.

The only business that are turning in profits for Sony are the PS4 and their imaging sensors.

Should I mention that Olympus has one of the best optics capability in the world? When chief engineer from oly shows up, engineers from canikon all bow...

Also heard aome rumors that when some engineers left oly during the revenue incident... canikon immediately snapped them up.

So I've heard... I wonder how are they gonna survive if it keeps going this way though

Sony does produce imaging sensors for a lot of brands and I think that helps. What they need to do rather is to consolidate their product lines.

Say that to ensure got both sides of the story ma lol. But to draw a nice conclusion that gives Sony and Olympus fanboys face :

Sony invested heavily in Olympus after the Oly revenue incident - and now their A7ii comes with 5 axis IBIS, making them 2 the only 2 brands to be able to produce this technology. These 2 companies are more connected than u know.

 

[spidey89]

Lol, makes sense, I'm not a business person mah, I don't even read the news hahah

 

[blurboiboi]

Sorry ah... Corporate details aside... Anyone knows the foc 45mm is black or silver in color? Thanks hee

 

[MrPhillip]

you can choose the colour for the 45mm. Subject to availability. Go monday to Olympus to choose your colour before your choice is gone
