Anyone shooting Micro 4/3's
Thee never seems to be any discussion here
Olympus OMD EM5 is my camera of choice and I love it

I also use that camera and love everything about it except its short battery life.

I use my OMD as my primary camera, which means 95% of the time. I have a traditional DSLR but it seldom gets any use except at my grandson's soccer games for action shots or if I plan to shoot white birds (don't know why, but my OMD hates white birds). For everything else, I prefer the OMD for its size, flexibility, small fast lenses, and image quality.

There's a few people on this forum who use m43 cameras, but most seem to be canikon users. I travel around the country a lot, and NEVER see Olympus cameras. Only twice have I spotted an OMD "in the wild" and both times it was in the hands of pro's.

Most people here are Canikonites. I, too, have a Canon system that I use primarily in the studio and around the house. But, I agree with your love of the micro 4/3rds system. I have an Oly E-PL5 and Panny GX7 that are perfect for travel and hiking.

EM1 and EPM2 shooter...did you see the recent article about the new sensor vs the canon 70d? It was on 43rumors.com. I'll spoil the fun, the em1 has more dynamic range than the APS-c sensor. I debated on the em5, with all the great deals recently, but opted for the em1 because of my 4/3 lenses.

I shoot a Panasonic DMC-3 with two lenses covering 12-200 mm.

I sold my Canon 5DII gear after getting into M4/3.

Currently have a G5 and GX7. Four lenses cover an equivalent range of 28-600MM. It all fits in a relatively small bag weighing less than ten pounds, flash included.

Its tough to beat the size, convenience and economy of M4/3. Image quality is only slightly less than the larger sensor cameras and the gap is closing.

Now I'm a Panikonite.

Ah, so the 4/3 lens adapter won't work on the EM-5?

My main camera is an Olympus E-PL1 with a Sigma 19mm prime lens which very rarely comes off. Just in case I need a wider angle or some zoom, I also have 12-50 m.zuiko lens. I really like this camera and also carry a couple of spare batteries, it is very light, quite compact and I never need a tripod. It does make me smile when I see Nikon/Canon owners with lenses 12" plus long taking shots of subjects where such lenses are totally uneccessary.
All the best with your M4/3 camera.

It works on the em5, but no where near as well as the em1

Yes, just looked that up, the auto focus. Thanks.

Has become my camera of choice...Oly is transforming digital photography with their OMD line...the newly announced OMD EM-1 is gaining enormous praise across the field of reviewers....I'm sure to have one soon.

Oly is also cranking out some impressive glass...the new 12-40mm f2.8 is getting grand reviews,as well; and I understand that a 40-150mm f2.8 will arrive early next year.

I enjoy shooting birds, and other wildlife...I use the Oly 75-300mm lens at the full 300mm(600mm equivalent) most of the time and I have very pleasing results. Nothing like the AF speed and in body stabilization of the OMD, and especially useful when capturing hand held shots of wildlife

The only negative I have encountered is the difficulty the camera has in tracking fast moving subjects...the C-AF sometimes can't keep up. I understand that this issue has been resolved in the OMD EM-1 as phase detection is now employed when shooting in C-AF.

I don't see a time when I will ever return to the bulk and weight of a DSLR....difficult to beat good image quality, quick focus, and superior stabilization in a weather sealed, light weight package!
