My friends hosted a fine dinner for yesterday's holiday. Wonderful time!

I photographed the event with both the Olympus E-M1 and with the Polaroid Spectra. Here are the photos:

Weather wet around here.
Still, the 60 macro is fun to use in horrid weather.
as an aside, my E-M1 has now been completely soaked 3 times with no ill effect

So the E-M1 isn't much of a step up in terms of noise handling? At least that looks about the same as the GH2 and OMD at 3200 - or maybe even a little noisier. What's your experience so far?

Very nice shot, and, with brussels sprouts in it, it has to be a favorite of mine !

My experience so far is that it's a wonderful camera that makes lovely photographs. It does a far better job than prior cameras I've used successfully with respect to noise handling at high ISO.

Well ..... frankly, I find the E-M1 compared to my E-M5 in regard of noise less well performing.
Even at ISO 200 the files can be rather 'noisy' (if that's the correct term here), especially in the OOF areas.
Very much doubt it that future firmware will solve this.
Let me haste to add that I absolutely love my E-M1 for its functionality and overall handling (w/ or w/o battery grip).

But I too would like to hear what others' experiences are.

All the best.

Hi there Godfrey,

that dining table is looking great and indeed your friends seem to have gone a long way to make their guests feel welcome and pleased (and well fed).

Nice set of images too, very good.
Thanks for sharing.

All the very best.

we are looking...but maybe a little early... and am not sure that a 50mm macro is quite the right tool for shooting whales....maybe the 50-200 might be more appropriate :)

though the e-m5 and the 75mm served me well in February this year
