You know when u take photos in low light and you have to hold ur camera steady so ur picture wont be blurred? image stabiliser will help reduce the blur from unsteady hands.

olympus = image stabilisation is on the sensor itself, not the lens
panasonic = image stabilisation is within the lens barrel (OIS model), not the sensor (body)

so if u use pana body with olympus lens, you have no image stabilisation at all.
but if you use pana lens on oly body ull have dual image stabilisation

so means my preorder of omd black body is not affected then? i never received any email also.

once i got the camera, ill post the photo of the camera with my pana 25mm f1.4

lol just pulling u guys' legs

I just got a call from YL camera to pick up the camera. I asked about the free gifts, they said they don't have it yet. I'm supposed to register something then Olympus will send it to me via post. I even ask for a free memory card as a courtesy, they say the package doesn't come with it

when using either PASM mode on olympus omd em5. when using the flash, the auto iso doesn't work. is this normal? what settings do i need to change to make the auto iso work. thanks.

eyah freak me out at first lol kinda cool though

The Dynamic Duo!

the lens is definitely good depends whether you're gonna fully utilise it or not. i had it once but i sold it because its pretty much considered as a telephoto lens at 90mm not flexible enough for daily use. up to u la of course. thats just my opinion

this will be my mandatory purchase but not anytime soon la. maybe next year's bonus

spec says the battery capacity is 1220mAh and can last approx 360 shots.

eyah both

other branded one i know existed is Marumi.

It should be. i also did not get any confirmation that it went through. let's just hope it is

If it was because of the freegifts then it's not free if we pay premium for it, just to get the camera early.

The body + kit lens is almost RM500 difference. I feel ripped off i bought body only and the retail price is going to be around RM300 cheaper when its available in camera shop this coming weeks.

This is based on Shashinki website and they are not always the cheapest out there. We could possibly come across a cheaper set from those doing bulk

Maybe what retailers is doing is that they bought the set that comes with free adapter or sd card and keep the free items and sell the camera.

The only thing we can do now is...

ANYBODY WANTS TO BUY MY SANDISK EXTREME 32GB 45MB/s UHS-I Class 10 SDHC CARD + OLYMPUS OM CRAPPY MINIATURE CAMERA FOR RM500!!!!???

Added on April 23, 2012, 2:06 amI kinda have mixed feelings about this. part of me is extremely happy to be one of the earliest people to get to use this camera while others have to wait weeks to get to own theirs. maybe by the time the camera actually available in retail, i probably got over the fact that i bought it for a tad higher price and just be happy using it.

So to make it worth our trouble. Let's go to public places and show it off while we still can. Those envy eyes might just be enough to bury our sorrow

Added on April 23, 2012, 2:13 amobviously u have a large manly hands and you will definitely benefit from the HLD-6 battery holder/grip which adds some body to it and two extra shutter buttons.

The battery holder will also add some comfort to hold the camera while ur arm is straight down, and just claw in to battery grip to hold it. currently i have to apply a bit of pressure just to hold it this way and adds wriststrap in case it slipped.

I have girly hands so no complains about the ergonomics here except i believe the nav buttons are just not clicky enough.

yup both lens use focus-by-wire and u have to turn on MF in order to activate the manual focus ring. turning the focus ring while in AF should be no issue as it does not do anything to the electronics since its disable.

however when set to S-AF + MF, u can let the camera autofocus on the subject first, while still holding the shutter half-way, fine tune ur focus using the focus ring.

picture quality or build quality? i just got my sandisk 32gb couple of days ago, and now selling it hehe.
