Enjoying your blog. Just got a s/h em5II with 6k shots and the 12-40 pro lens, upgrade from my EPL5. Very excited to try things out. Best regards!

My reference to 'mirror lock up' was completely incorrect since by it's very definition the E-M1 is a 'mirrorless' camera! I have revised the article - thank you.<br />Secondly, yes, I have come from an E-M5 MkII - and it was a camera that I loved using. But I did find the layout without the grip a little cramped, and much prefer the ergonomics of the E-M1. Without doubt the E-M5 MkII is a fantastic camera, but I found that the 'extra' features it had over the E-M1 were ones that didn't add any value to 'my' style of photography. For example, I never used the 40MP high res mode, so it doesn't bother me that the E-M1 doesn't have it. What does bother me is the way a camera 'feels' in my hand, and for me the E-M1 'feels' better in my hand. In the end it simply came down to ergonomics. If you go back and read some of my earlier posts, I'm sure I discuss this. Go here: http://nzdigital.blogspot.co.nz/2016/07/short-shoot-with-olympus-em-1.html<br />Thanks for your feedback. It is very much appreciated.<br />Cheers<br />Waynenzdigitalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703737498864762603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171059893185504690.post-5396344455168311632017-07-21T21:19:38.221+12:002017-07-21T21:19:38.221+12:00Hello Wayne
I have only just discovered your blog...Hello Wayne<br /><br />I have only just discovered your blog and now look forward to reading your other posts, so thank you for sharing your experiences with your secondhand Olympus EM1. Like you, I too purchased a used EM1. In my case, the camera was just 4 months old with 282 recorded shutter releases. One small point, Olympus OM-D series cameras do not have a mirror, so I'm unsure as to why you believe the EM1 has a mirror lock up feature. Finally, you seem to have started with an EM5 Mk2 and then purchased the older EM1. Can I ask why? The only reason I ask, is that I am seriously considering replacing my backup camera (EM5 Elite) with the Mk2. I am now wondering if I would do better buying another EM1.<br /><br />Best wishes, Timtriceriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719996867335103667noreply@blogger.com
