OMG! Look at the EM-1 aka the now official E-M1 Thread

[Stargaz3r]

I always thought that my E-M1 have issue becoz I realise the noise performance of E-M5 is way better than the new E-M1 I have. Until I read a magazine on iPad then I realise that it's true that E-M5 perform better than E-M1 in term of noise performance and color.

Managed to take about 600 shots at temp -10 to -20 on one battery. I was quite happy with that performance.

Yeap , the one reason why I only pack2 batteries now for EM-1 as compared to 3 when using EP5.

has anyone besides me had a problem with the EM1 rear dial becoming intermittently unresponsive? as in, as you click the dial in one direction (slow or fast, doesn't matter) to change ISO/aperture/shutter speed/whatever, not all of the clicks register/effect a change. happened with single clicks as well.

i just collected mine again from the service centre this week, making it the second time mine has been in for the same issue.

Me, more so when I am reviewing pic and zooming in with that rear dial. Occasionally aperture when on A mode but not too distracting for me. Just a tsk reaction. Hahaha. Hope oly will release a fix if it is fixable. Glad to know I am not the only one.

actually I have another problem but I'm not sure whether is this a proper issue or not. =.= I shoot using the AFS-M mode, and a few times when I turn the manual focus knob on the lens expecting it to go into MF (I am also expecting to see a 14x view since I switch on MF assist), but the camera doesn't react. So far this has happened on Oly lenses hence its unrelated to third party lenses. hmm... 3 more strikes this occurs, I'm prob going down Oly though.

Yes I have the problem right after I sent in to replace my arrow pad. I have to go travel with the faulty dial and come back again which they replace the whole top unit for me. I think u can request that haha

Thanks for the info. After replacement did it occur again? Can share downtime? Thanks.

Thanks!
Can't seem to find a set to play around with at the major retailers.
Guess will have to pop over to Funan/Penisula one of these days.

Paid $2495 for the EM1 with the 12-40mm at the Harvey Norman in Funan yesterday (third day of CNY so most of my regular camera shops were closed).

That's a decent price.. Considering some threads mentioned 2700 at least.
Just walk in price or need special lobang?

I'm curious also

I've just been made aware that I got a very good price... simple really. As I mentioned above, it was the third day of CNY and most of the camera shops were closed. Tried my luck at Harvey Norman and the guy punched in the numbers on his calculator and told me $2495, adding that it was for that day only. Paid and went off.

 

[falcon 1]

the $2495 was the one day offer (which was advertised in the ST) of =8% + 8% disc off list price. was tempted to get it when the salesman told me he sold 2 sets that morning.

Good price! Just enjoy your new toy!

Yes! I saw the other guy in the queue for the cashier with one as well. The saleman (a different one) was trying to assure him that the 16GB Class 4 SD card that they threw in with the camera was more than enough for the EM-1.

I'm using the SanDisk gold memory card... With the crazy fps I think we do need that fast buffer

I feel the same way. I use the Sandisk Extreme Pro (the gold one) as well for all my cameras.

 

[keithwee]

I'm still using my trusty Sandisk Extreme 45mb/s on the EM1 and EP5. =)

from Amazon

The other cameras like the Dlux 6 and Q10 use even lower spec ones and so far I've never found them slow.

Any EM-1 users here have a tripod L bracket to recommend? Hopefully something not too expensive. Considering upgrading my ballhead and plates.

RRS nothing less, but I dunno what you mean by expensive
