:thumbup: can't agree more, PeterWell the position of the on-off switch is obviously matter of taste as I like it over most of all the other different positions methods not only from Olympus

Hi Bart, Having taken one (G1) apart, i can tell you that it is quite robust.Admittedly, I was quite fond of the G1's swivel panel, but also found it rather delicate and fragile and always feared it would break off any moment.
Too me the E-M1 solution seems more robust although less flexible.
Like with the new Sony A7 II-series I'm holding off for now and biding my time to see what more is to come in the next 1 or 2 months or so.
Kind regards.
Hi there K-H,
I found the E-M1's on/off switch position also a little quirky at first, but got used to it and basically prefer it over the odd placement of the original E-M5 switch.
That really was a stupid idea ! What were they thinking ... :loco:
All the very best.
Vivek, I hear you, but I'm not settling for anything less than an A9r or an A7rII ...Hi Bart, Having taken one (G1) apart, i can tell you that it is quite robust.
I gave the A7II a pass even before it went on sale. It is A9 or A7sII.
I understand your position, Bart. But, I would look for more DR in a future cam. With that in mind, as I mentioned above, I am thinking of a few practical uses for the EM-5II. I don't have any system lenses left, except a zoom and the 20/1.7. There are a plethora of tiny adapted lenses though.Vivek, I hear you, but I'm not settling for anything less than an A9r or an A7rII ...
:chug:
Kind regards.
Before getting the E-P1.. etc, the E-M5 and A7r, I thought fully articulated was the best. But since I'm using those flip-up displays, I've come to like them. I'm only uncomfortable when taking shots in portrait modes and most of the time under these situations one can just use the EVF. I've come to think that the flip up display is easier to use in most situations, because a) you don't have that screen at the side. It won't mix with the neck strap, b) it is inline with the lens.G1 alike! My favorite!
I am already sold based solely on that!
More than the LCD (I've got accustomed to the flip-up ones), my eyes are attracted to the EVF : it seems bigger than that of the E-M5 ? Hopefully it is the same one as on the E-M1 and VF4. That would be a good update IMO.Did you see that LCD rear panel ?

The number of times I'm activating the on/off switch makes its position rather irrelevant to me. Much more important is where they stick the AFL/AEL button.Looks nice, although it looks like they removed the built-in flash from the E-M10. I'm definitely curious about the 40MP capability.
Totally agree on the on/off switch--I like it to be accessible with my right hand in order to save battery. Seems like Olympus has packed so many custom buttons on the E-M5II, they had to move it to the left (better position than before, I suppose).
I'm right with you here - I prefer flip up - I get vertigo with a completely articulated display . . . actually I agree about all your posts - I quite like the on/off switch on the left, but I want to be able to get to the AEL with my thumb.Before getting the E-P1.. etc, the E-M5 and A7r, I thought fully articulated was the best.

Wow, this camera looks just sexy - I am sorry but this is my first reaction! Besides that I think I need to have oneThe plot thickens ...

:watch:
Don't know about digging, but that grip does look peculiar indeed.not digging the grip.
I actually 'dig it', the smaller one.Don't no about digging, but that grip does look peculiar indeed.
It remains to be seen (and tested) if it handles well.
Kind regards.
