No offence taken, although this thread isn't what I expected. But if I had my way to reorganise the E-M5 related threads, this is what would happen:
1. The launch thread was started in Feb when the camera was announced. It allows potential buyers to discuss and speculate. However that period is history and the camera is shipping. Thus
http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/four-thirds-standard-4-3-m43/1043045-%5B-hot-%5D-olympus-announces-its-latest-micro4-3-camera-lenses-om-d.html is closed.
2. The review thread already exists in the official reviews forum:
http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/reviews/1063351-olympus-om-d-e-m5-first-impressions.html. Thus,
http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/four-thirds-standard-4-3-m43/1076960-e-m5-owner-comments-critique-reviews-nots.html is a duplicate and should be merged with the former.
3. The photos thread already exists in this forum:
http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/four-thirds-standard-4-3-m43/617753-%5B-gallery-%5D-images-olympus-micro-4-3-cameras.html. Thus,
http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/four-thirds-standard-4-3-m43/1077385-pictures-omd-em5.html is a duplicate and should be merged into the former.
4. After the above 3 moves, there is nowhere for potential buyers seek the advice of existing owners. Thus, this thread is opened.
Hop over to the Canon and Nikon forums and you will see roughly the above progression for every single new camera, be it 5D Mk III, G1X, D800. Thus, the only fool-proof way to steer this thread in the right direction is to close the existing threads and force users over here. Once the critical mass is achieved, people will naturally gravitate to this thread. This is exactly what happens in the real world. Bus services are terminated so that commuters will take the newly opened MRT/LRT.
Anyway I am not part of the moderation team so I think I have already gone way beyond my call as a forum user. I am honestly not interested to become the arbitrator between users and moderators; it is a thankless and risky proposition. Therefore, I am going to take my E-M5 out and shoot photos. Peace out!
