I have held the EM-10 and liked the way it felt, and really appreciated the EVF. Still have to get my hands on an EM-5 but I understand it is bigger then the 10. I'm personally leaning towards the EM-10 but the EM-5 is attractive because I've seen used for as low as 400 for body only. Which means more money for glass.

^Have you seen the EM5 Mark 2? IMO it's well worth the upgrade from the Mark 1 if you're looking for something to keep for a while.

I have, really liked the low light performance from some reviews and the 40mp sensor shift stills look incredible. But with an upcoming Hawaii vacation I am limited in budget, but we have a photography tour booked while we are there so I'd love to upgrade before the trip.

I will have a EM5II here soon for review. You're welcome to come check it out when I get it.

Played around with the E-M10 again, pretty sure I've made my choice, but now my girlfriend wants one after taking a few snaps and more importantly seeing the art filters. She would not use an OM-D to its potential so I'm thinking of getting her the E-PL5, which I believe has the same sensor as the E-M5 but can be had for 399.99 brand new any opinions on this camera?

Bit the bullet today, got the E-M10 and the E-PL5 for my girlfriend, Olympus has a special right now where you save either 100 or 200 on select glass, London drugs also has a coupon for 50 off oly lenses so the guy stacked the coupons so if I didnt "buy" the Oly 40-150 the camera would have been 896 but with the 40-150 the camera came to 881, can't argue with a lense someone paid me to take haha.

Really tempted to switch from Sony E Mount A6000 to Oly OMD EM10 with a 12-40 F2.8. The selection of lenses has really been lacking for Sony even after all this time.

I have not shot with the A6000, but after a couple of days with the E-M10 I love the set up. And the deal with the lenses right now is great, if I hadn't purchased two cameras I probably would have purchased the 45 mm which I think was 200 off with the purchase of any OM-D.

I was able to return my A6000 body on day 31 of my 30 day return policy haha. So I'm selling the lenses that I have now and officially moving over to M4/3.

Now the big decision. OMD EM10 or the newly released OMD EM5 MKII. Olympus has a promo bundle where I can get the 12-40 F2.8 lens at a discount. This is more of a secondary camera to my 7D.

Join the Fuji Side, my friends.

Bit the bullet. Ordered a EM5 MKII in black with the 12-40mm F2.8 Pro from Olympus directly. 30 day return policy so why not.

First impressions. The build quality on this camera is amazing. Feels like a sculpted piece of metal. The lens/camera combo is a bit heavier than expected. Still need to play around with it some more.

Wish I could have waited a bit longer to get the MK2 but I am having a lot of fun with the E-M10. Have you used the sensor shift 40mp feature yet? Read one review that compared it to full frame shots.

I've got a E-M5II and a Panasonic GF7 sitting on my desk.

...as well as my 5D3 and X-T1 lol

I've been considering buying a nice camera for awhile now and after the Spring Meet I've decided that the time has come. I am usually taking picture of scenery and cars along with a lot of time lapses. Phone camera isn't cutting it. I also am interested in taking high exposure pictures of stars. Need some opinions from people who actually know cameras cause I don't.

new nex-7 for $500 still a good price these days against the more casual a5100? NEX-7 has the much praised Tri-Nav and build quality but lousy menus and no PDAF
they're upgrading from a t3i which is too bulky/heavy
any other decent mirrorless with EVF around $500?

A6000 is like $650-700 on sale. That's what I recommend to everyone that wants a good entry level that will last them awhile because it's new and good.

i've had my a6k for almost a year and agree it's still the best value out there...i get the spidey senses a replacement is imminent in the coming weeks though

Yeah the A7K should be announced pretty soon.

what's the best IQ point-and-shoot for under 500? Don't need crazy zoom, need IQ better or similar to Nikon j1 I have, has to fit in a pocket. Looking at RX100 mk1 and Fuji XQ2, XQ1 maybe.

J5 was announced today.

If you want a point and shoot that has great image quality and actually fits in your pocket, look at the Ricoh GR.

new GR seems to be well over my 500cad budget, j5 won't feet in pocket

Sony a5000?

The camera itself is alright. Bu the lens selection.... :heckno:

so i been using a XSi dslr for the longest time.. and i did buy a eos-m when it came out, i want to upgrade my dslr. Should i upgrade the dslr or maybe buy the adapter for the M and use that camera instead and just buy lenses
