can't say like that la, the sensor in mk2 is still very powerful sensor. of course autofocus will be slower, but it depends on lens i guess? micro 4/3 will focus quicker of course since the area of sensor is a lot smaller, the size of lens is smaller too. but dslr can track moving subjects (important in shooting sports) very quick and accurately while m4/3 can't.

what lens is he using? and what lens is on the omd?

is it JPEG or RAW? and what lens on the 5D m2? the 12-40 is the top line lens from olympus right? if the person on the 5D wasn't using top notch L lens, then it's unfair to compare. also is the setting from both cameras exactly the same (if both of them were JPEG, is the sharpening/contrast/colors adjustment the same)?

I know, it's quite bad compared to newer cameras. but using the center AF shouldn't result that much difference.

hmm if it's the 70-200 f2.8 or IS I, then the sharpness will lose of course. these 2 lenses aren't famous for their sharpness (it's good, but not top of the line). if it's IS II, then it shouldn't lose.

still, it's hard to do any assumptions based on a quick test like that. a fair test would be placing 2 cameras using the same equivalent lenses capturing the same resolution chart and export the files in RAW without any editing at all.

went to klpf last time, model still not bothered to look at my even i am using 70-200

because the guy beside me is using 70-200 + flash + grip

Will be selling my dslr gears away soon (already received offer, just waiting for COD).

Been eyeing fuji and m43 for a long time, but after a long consideration I think I will like m43 more.

for the body, i am torn between em5 and em10. the main reason i am considering the em5 is the weather sealing and 5axis stabilization. and for the em10, it's the cheaper price and more focusing points.

for the lens, i think i will go for the 12-40 f2.8 from oly, price should be around 3k ( or lesser? ). that lens has most of the things that I needed, weather sealing + f2.8 + good enough close focusing.

there are a few things that make me wonder, is the em10 and em5 differ a lot in terms of real world performance to justify the price difference? and how EVF works when used with flashes (with really dark exposure before flash fires). and how's contrast detection autofocus compared to phase detection autofocus? I read that oly has really quick autofocus but not that good in tracking? by tracking I don't mean to shot rapidly moving subjects (like football/basketball/car), but i would like to use the camera for moving human sometimes (let's say moving performers in concert), so is it good enough for that?

sorry for asking so much, hope all the sifus here can help me

oh ok, thanks

was considering the em10 + 14-42 + 45 too, a lot cheaper compared to 12-40, but I not sure if I want to carry 2 lenses around.

thanks that's one of the reason I am considering the 12-40. if I want to get fast lenses but still retain wide angle + macro, i need to get the 14-42 (cheapest wide lens), 45 (for lowlight), 60 (for macro + lowlight), and this combo would costs more than a 12-40.

hmm i uses 3 lenses for them, 50mm reversed handheld most of the time, 100mm L for some pictures only since it was belong to my friend and tamron 70-200 for bigger bugs/subjects.

hmm yeah I read this somewhere, but the IQ from 12-40 is really poison

adding a grip would definitely help, too bad it's quite expensive right?

how much does the lens cost after separated from the bundle?

why em5 over the em10? em1 is over my budget.

reviews say that adding a grip improves the handling of em5 by a lot? and how much is the 3rd party grip and oly grip?

haha welcome on the poison, i would like to know more about the camera before making my purchase to avoid the same mistake when I purchase my dslr last time.

other than the lower price point, the advantages of em10 over em5 are the new processor, higher resolution screen, more focus points only? and does the eyecup of the em5 too shallow? because it looks really small compared to regular dslr eyecup.

How much does a EM5 new body roughly costs? above 2k?

I thought Key Color's price was quite bad?

A very good review of the em10 in chinese (sorry for those who can't read chinese).

urgh dilemma between the newer technology of the em10 or the weather sealing of the em5.

the new 14-42 is really awesome lens too, small in size, but super sharp and offer 0.46 magnification without any add ons

Anyone here using YN 603 trigger on their oly cameras? will it works? i think i read somewhere before that the location of the pin is abit different right? how about using YN560 flash on oly hotshoe?

what do you mean by the mod? because if it cant work on em1, then no point keeping it when i change to em1.
luckily the flash works haha. i have a 560II btw. how about other third party flash? i read somewhere that the YN 560II can do HSS as long as you have a HSS flash as main flash on hotshoe so i want to try that out.

hm how to modify btw?

how much is that btw?

and any idea when will the em10 launch? been eyeing a em1 before but it was sold so need new planning.

is it a tranceiver like the yongnuo and can used as remote trigger too?

wow that bag looks good


the price in sg is abit steep though, hopefully it will be around 2.2k or something when it reaches malaysia.

one little question, does olympus include any camera bag with the purchase of their cameras?
