I'm looking at the Fujifilm XT1. I have a range finder that takes 120 film, so I know they make good stuff.

I bought an EM-10 to take when I don't want to carry my Canon 70D. So far, I have the kit lens and bought the 40-150. I am very impressed even with the pics with the kit 12-42 lens. I am thinking of the new f2.8 lens. The quality and ease of use is really nice.

I don't often contribute to this wonderful site but in this case I definitely have something to contribute. I have been shooting Nikons since 1965 and I have been considering moving up from my D300. I have a number of friends who are professional photographers. About 2 months ago I learned that 2 of my friends packed up their Nikon equipment and now shoot almost exclusively with mirrorless camera systems. In each case the camera of choice was the Fuji Film models, XE 2 and now the XT 1. My one friend's kit now contains 4 lenses and 2 bodies in one case half the size of my Nikon cases. My D300 with my 70-200 Nikkor lense weighs in about 4 lbs but I have been able to handle it without too much of a problem. I have seen some of the results this one photographer has achieved and they are amazing. So I am now going to move into the Fuji mirrorless system. I have already purchased the kit lens and want at least 2 more lenses: a telephoto and the 35 mm 1.4. My other friend also swears by the Fuji system. While I love my Nikkor fast lenses, a number of 2.8s, 1.4 and 35 mm 1.8 I am looking forward to seeing what this new system will bring to my photography.

Another reason for my switching is the amount of low light photography I do and without a flash - tango events being the first and foremost. At Argentine Tango festivals we cannot use flashes so I have had to struggle to get exc. shots in low light with moving dancers. I expect to achieve better results with less post processing with the new system.

And if this were not enough I have read article after article extolling the virtues of the new mirrorless systems including a recently published article on Facebook the point of which was to show how the DSLR is now obsolete! Here is that link. Check it out.

I have "The Photographer's Guide To The X100S" Alexander S. White. I find it quite useful. Lots of detail along with some general picture taking advice that is relevant to the camera.

Just briefly: the OM 10 offers the major features of the OM1 for a much lower price. This is a proposition for photographers who don't trust their abilities much or who do not want (or can't) master a beautiful but complicated device.
This is of course a highly personal standpoint.

Pics look great. Bought the EM1 with the 12-40 lens. Can't wait to get started. Appreciate the suggestion of 3 batteries. I have 2 but will get another one. Any suggestions for a flash?

The FL-600R is the perfect match to the E-M1. It supports TTL, has the same full range of movement as other pro flashes, has a big bright L.E.D. in front which works as a focus assist or as a movie light. With a Guide No.50' (15.24 m) ISO200 at 8 mm position, it sure packs a lot of power for its compact size. It has more functions than I will ever use and when using off camera, you can use the small flash that comes with the E-M1 as a remote trigger.

I also have a Yongnuo flash that I use in manual when I really need a lot of power.

I fully support what he said! The FL 600R is great, and the right call. :thumbup:

As a OM 10 owner...the issue is not superiority... It is budget and cost vs performance .. For the cost difference, the 10 for most, is more camera than they are ever going to need. Agreed the the 1 is a superior camera .. But the 10 is an amazing engineering feat, I love the in camera HDR for jpg out, amazing even hand held. The iPad remote connectivity is also cool. So many advance features in an under $600 camera, and great lenses from olympus.

I bought the omd e-10 with the kit lens and a 40-150 lens, then opted to buy the 12-40 f2.8 pro lens. The kit lens is quite sharp but the quality of the 12-40 is absolutely great. I haven't touched my 70d since and I have several lenses to go with it. I am seriously thinking of selling the 70D and lenses and get am E-1 with the e-10 as a backup. The weight difference between the Canon and the Olympus is huge and the pictures with the e-10 are on a par as my 70D with the 15-85 lens.

Look forward,to the images you can share with both cameras.. The 10 has been very good, for me, I just need to the tke the time and opportuntiy to take it out more. ..and shoot.

With the em1, it also opens the opportunities to use the old 4/3 lenses with AF. Not to mention the ability to use it with a power grip (longer battery life). It also sounds like with the new firmware rumored to come out, that we might get 4k with it.
