I saw the video, but they don't give me much sense for the feel in the hand. The Olympus E-1 and E-5 are much larger bodies and the major controls fit my hands beautifully, particularly with the E-1 (still a masterpiece of camera ergonomic design IMO).
:ROTFL: Excellent . . . I've made a grand start in my quest not to by the OMG . . . it's been announced for more than 12 hours and I haven't placed an order.The camera Gods say "more you talk about not needing it, greater the chance you will buy it!"
Turned out to be true with me - I ordered the Nex 7 after holding out for months. This OM-D, I definitely do not need. I'm happy with my GXR. I've dusted off my OM-2, my Nex 7 is yet to arrive, I have to see what the 15mp sigmas look like, I haven't used my GH-2 yet - how could I possible need the . . . . . . . . . ?
Oh, dear

Pre-order placed. I agree that the black one looks better.
Playing hard to get, eh? A sign of long lasting love if there ever was one :ROTFL:
Maybe you should check the reaction at 43rumors and dpreview m4/3rds forum
I think it's fine when people see it because the camera is very small.To me it looks better than the E-3/E-5 - no confusion on the upper left on the three buttons with no tactile feel. The buttons on the upper right (looking at it from the back) look very small though.
Nope, the DR is still the same. The total DR that is. They measure from noise floor to top.
Which points then to something wrong in IMATEST then because as I have seen for myself, the DR of the K-5 is indeed a jump from most.
The other way around. A lot of IMATEST done depends on an external raw converter, DXo depends on their own direct measurement. That's why you see so many websites running the same IMATEST with so many different results- even Imaging Resource used to comment for years (they don't do that anymore) that they couldn't explain how come the D70 scored lower than the E-300 (or was it e-330? I can't remember anymore ).
I have been told time and time again by people that apparently don't understand what they are talking about, nor the fact that I verify things for myself. The DR of the K-5 is definitively significantly more, than the E-3/E-5. I don't say this just trusting Dxo but by experience. It is because of this experience (well before this obviously , say with e-300/330/410/420/e-3/620) that I tend to trust Dxo on DR and ISO scores.
Hey Jono, saw your other post on this and I applaud your restraint
There will always be something better. ;-)
and if your RAWs have NR, or perhaps you engage in black clipping black-level offset
well pffft to thatraist3d said:
just as DPR run there own version of DR and res tests, there are variations of method, you simply need to understand what each sites review components are good forraist3d said:
where he was quick to talk about how IR used Adobe RAW under 'his suspicion' that they used adobes ability to reduce noise (which would be with every individual test anyway) yet at the same time failed to acknowledge the issue of NR in RAW until sometime later, IMO he never once entered in a good faith discussion about it. The fact of the matter became this, that IMATEST are perfectly valid results photographers can asses with tangible images shot of step wedge charts, that with IMATEST there is an evidence trail,raist3d said:
the last challenge you made attesting your understanding of DxO results here was about YOUR notion that manufacturers where somehow cheating published ISO b/se DxO saw it differently. You went so far with this you were adding and subtracting ISO figures based on your reading of DxO in some strange attempt to 'equalise' what you saw as erroneously manufactured ISOraist3d said:
actually you seem to spend quite a lot of time all over the net trashing 4/3rds pretty heavily and annoying users, while offering slight condolence on occasional but rare lucid moments about how good it might be...raist3d said:
I guess you mean m4/3rds lenses... true, though the mZD 9-18 and mZD 14-150 were pretty good. The 45mm f1.8 is outstanding.
Thank you for that JorgenPlaying hard to get, eh? A sign of long lasting love if there ever was one :ROTFL:
Oh, and by the way, Jono, I think they made this one specially for you
OLYMPUS OM-D - THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW - YouTube
oke: - Silas just watched it and wondered why it wasn't already ordered!Ahhh - we all have our weak points - Fovean doesn't press my button . . but focus peaking does!Hey Jono, saw your other post on this and I applaud your restraint
But if you want to make fun of me, the EM5 thought crosses my mind though very lightly, the one I want to check is the DP2M wherever that comes out.
- Raist
I quite agree - I think they've done a grand job - I find it very tempting!

I got the Pen 1 in chrome because it just looked sexy. But when using it I found the chrome too distracting and flashy. I got the Ep2 in black/gunmetal sort of grey. That was much better, but the coating on the Ep2 started to peel off and reveal the silver beneath. So now its black and silver. But I like it still.
