I welcome it! I am not someone who would refuse to buy a good camera if it is offered for a good price. I do not pride in my cameras as show pieces.I declare the DMC-GX7 bazaar open .:salute:
HI VivekI am pretty sure that is incorrect.
Jono, I bet that you will not do this with a Leica M set up: Olympus OMD EM1 Being Run Under Water by the Phoblographer - YouTube
Quite wrong - you have a perfect excuse . . .We are never too serious here, are we
If I should consider a long 4/3 lens for the E-M1, it would probably be the 150mm f/2. It's a beast of course, but the image quality it offers would make it worthwhile. Unfortunately, I lack a good excuse to buy one... fortunately
Oh! I do hope so - I want a play!I had the opportunity to quickly play with both the EM-1 and the GX7 recently.... was never really in the market for the GX7, but had to try it after everybody seemed to be hyperventilating over it... I was really disappointed in the GX7 EVF...not very good in my opinion... but then again I had just looked through the E-M1 which is very good.
waiting to see whether Samys here in LA get their shipment of E-M1's in before we leave on wednesday

We are working on it. Could be a first where we get to show you something new!!!!Oh! I do hope so - I want a play!
Vivek, try this:Can't find it!
Link please!
You always show me something new Kevin (even if it's only a great place to have supper!)We are working on it. Could be a first where we get to show you something new!!!!

in the flesh it looks much better, and is only marginally larger and perhaps heavier than an em5 with the the upper part of the gripI already have a EM5. Should I upgrade? I understand the EVF/Screen is better, but the AF seems the same (I don't use 4/3 lenses and use continuous focus only rarely). To me the EM1 is quite ugly with the grip and is quite larger and heavier. How does it compare to K5II in terms of size?
I'm really having a hard debate here.
I suspect there will be an upgrade from the E-M5 in due course, the E-M1 has a different character - despite being about the same size plus grip, the ergonomics are improved significantly, and the EVF is also much improved.I already have a EM5.

I'm now officially a nutcase :loco:The price of the GH3 just fell to $1,000 here. That would make a wonderful pair with the E-M1; one for photo, one for video and both can do either. This is getting complicated
Yes, I do have a GH1 and a GH2 as well... :loco:
Yes, you can manually focus, but you can manually focus lots of cameras that way. That is besides the point- the point is the GX7 can focus in real dark (to give you a reference the E-3/E-5 were rated down to focus on -2EV. The new K-5II can focus down to -3 EV - moonlight).Interesting about focusing in starlit darkness - I haven't seen any reports of the E-M1 performance in such low light, but on the E-P5 switching to magnified view and manual focus was necessary this evening ... followed by a 30 second exposure so focusing speed wasn't an issue.
Again, it depends on the photography you are doing. There are many types of paid professional photographers.Fast continuous auto focus for moving subjects is obviously the headline feature, and will be a defining one for professional (paid) photographers.
