Hi all,

We all know that Olympus has just announced its latest Olympus OMD-EM5. I'm thinking of getting one M3/4 cam.

Which one to choose? Olympus EP3 RM2800 or Olympus EM5 RM4500...Rm1700 different...gosh..!!!

Advice please...=(

i go for EM5 looks so niceeeeeee
and the viewfinder......

Yea man. But based on the Rm1700 more to pay, Rm4500++ gosh! It kills with that price tho.

then better stick to ur budget or ur camera phone

This one veli easy... E-M5 lah... apa lagi... they don't call it the OM-G for nothing

Bro,

You are using what camera now? Saw your flickr's albums, looks great!

Thanks.. Primarily using 550d and xz1

Hi,

What lense are you using? Kit lense? I thought you are using EP3 for it. Will EP3 have same image quality as ur cam?

TS, what camera r u using now? If ur a DSLR user shifting to micro 4/3 waters, r u those that expect its image quality to b similar to DSLR? If u r, best u head straight for em-5. While the ep3 is a darn good micro4/3 cam, it uses the older ep1 sensor thus ISO tolerance isn't that good. U will notice a vast difference if u were a DSLR user.

Just me 2 cents. But I've moved fr Nikon d90 to ep3 but sold off the ep3 to move back to DSLR.

Hi bro,

So you mean the EP3 image quality cannot not compete with DSLR's? But only EM5 image quality is top notch standard with DSLR's?

really tak paham all this image thing, n pixel peeping
as if u guys gonna blow up the pic

take a good pic 1st then tok la, u see sniper, use zx1 also produce superb pics, its about telling the story

btw, my motto

"BUY FILM NOT MEGAPIXEL"

Even OMD EM-5 isn't really DSLR level. But micro 4/3 isn't about beating the DSLR market. It's smaller, lighter and way more convenient. If ure a person willing to accept some draw backs in IQ and ISO tolerance compared to a DSLR to gain this set of convenience, then micro 4/3 is alluring. If ure entering the field with the thinking that each shot u make will b compared to a DSLR, then don't. Both are a class of their own.

It's a Sigma 30mm f1.4 shot at around f1.8 to f2 if recalled correctly

rx330 is right... image quality is over rated anyway.

If you wanna get that "glow" ... just get the Panny Leica 25mm f1.4, slap on a ND filter ... add a bit +EV and shoot away.

Hi bro,

So you mean that, even EP3 image quality is very good dy? Sharp clear etc?

And does it mean that picture quality is mainly influenced by the type of lense?

Thanks!

"Even OMD EM-5 isn't really DSLR level" is not true anymore.
If you can believe Dpreview Studio Test Samples published today then the OM-D
is equal or better than SLR like D7000, 7D, K-5 and even Leica M9.

I think that's what they are saying.

so now DSLR = hi level mirrorless level?

Anyone using EP3 here? Any photo albums to show me? Wanna have a view. thanks man!!!!

i gotta a feeling.....
u end up with ep3, as u are more comfortable with it

Haha! Most probably tho. ='( Cos' that's the budget that i can afford for now. EM5 Rm4500 is too pricey for me. =( What camera are you using?

er.......
lets just say my latest camera is the xpro 1
