Fun with the Olympus OMD

I don't like the OMD...easy to handle (with battery/grip) and EVF is good...but...buttons are too small and too close together...my fat fingers are always hitting two buttons at the same time...exposures/metering very inconsistent...the LENSES, however, are superb and worth all the fussing.

I'd get rid of the OMD(s) in a heartbeat if the new EM-1 can correct the tiny button problems and the inconsistent exposures...or maybe the Panasonic GH3?

From a soon to be demolished villa in our village, maybe the last shots while it's still upright :(:(

First of all I would like to say, that you all just post so many Sharp and wonderfull Pictures here.
But would like to bother with a question:
I presume that iso 3200 is the highest level for a good looking OMD Picture right?, or?
second: the oly 12-60 2.8-4.0 4/3 is still highly recommended, even compared to the 12-40, or..................?

From my recent adventures with the EM1, I would say ISO 6400 is somewhat usable, do not enlarge too much or crop in.

Obviously looking at a price point, 12-60 is a much more economical solution compared to the new 12-40, but you get what you pay for. The 12-40 is 1 stop faster at the tele end which not only benefits low light, but also with defocused backgrounds and narrow depth of field.

That being said, if you have the E-M1 OMD, the 12-40mm pro lens is a perfect match for this body, and the focus speeds and tracking is really impressive.

I went on a 'Once in lifetime' safari with just my EM-5 and the cheap 14-150.
I've gone off 'gear' since retiring, wanted to travel very light, and I didn't want to make the obvious text book animal close-ups using long lenses.

This was taken at 45mm.
