Testing the Olympus E-M5
Aug 21, 2013 22:56:40 #
Had a chance to play with an Olympus E-M5. Must say I'm quite impressed with this small camera. All shots taken with the 75-300mm lens. I think it may be time to upgrade from my E-520.

Thanks RiverNan. I am now the owner of an E-M1 with 12-40mm 2.8 lens. So far very happy with my new toy.

All my digital cameras have been from Olympus. I started with the C5060 (5.1 Megapixels) then, encouraged by its excellent quality, purchased the E510 and just a month ago the OMD E-M1 with the new glass. I just I spent a week in Rome with it shooting 1200 pics and learning.
This is just to say that I am an Olympus fan which does not prevent me however from intensely watching how the equipment behaves. In that respect I have some doubts about its imperviousness to humidity. Immediately after it was exposed to a shower the E-M1 started to act as if inside contacts had been exposed to water. I wonder whether other users have had the same impression.

What lens were you using. If the lens wasn't weather-sealed as well, that may be the cause of the problem. Otherwise I would contact Olympus and explain issue. Camera is still under warranty so they should fix it at no cost to you.
edit: just realized you stated used with new glass, assume you mean the 12-40mm f2 which is weather-sealed. I would contact Olympus.

I was reading this morning that Olympus is going to pull their cameras because the market is leaning towards cell phone cameras and the only cameras that will be still on the market is Nikon Canon and Sony this is what was on MSN this morning... I have a Kodak they went under and it is a great camera and now own a Fugi but it is one that is still around ...maybe..
