I have exactly the same thought

The latest Huawei P mate phones are just in a league of their own. I recently came across a milkyway photo posted by a fellow FB acquaintance shot on a Huawei P20 and look really decent. Amazing how phone camera have came along pretty well. With the latest 3-lenses-in-1 P30 there's no limit to what they can do In time to come I wll be really lazy to lug along a camera but instead a phone camera with a stabilised gimbal is more than sufficient to get great travel photos.

Foe us enthusiasts its an expensive hobby

Nice shot bro! So your finally in Kinabalu! Nice photos!

Wah very quite here oh

The recent announcement of Olympus Sale had many people dead worried as it is seen as the demise of the camera giant but I strongly beg to differ. IMHO this is because it found a worthy buyer to continue the Olympus story to bring it to greater heights. I don't see the sale as an end but a new beginning of the continuance of the great camera maker.

In all the upheavals I couldn't refrain myself but must get my hands on an Olympus body and I did, the inaugural OM-D E-M1, so nostalgic, this is the camera body with such beautiful design that I have drooled for a very very long time and the minute it touched my hands it confirms my longing for such a design, simply awesome fantastic to hold. So many years later it is still the best design, to me anyways.

I have a few Canon EF lenses and I have adapted (via Viltrox EF-M1) the famous and inexpensive Canon pancake lens EF-S 24mm f2.8, very very sharp little lens. Below are some of the test shots I have taken this morning. SOOC. Initially the EM1 seems to have a hard time focusing the lens but after a latest firmware update of the adapter, no issues at all. The AF speed is nothing to boast about but for the price I have no complain either.

The o behind the TT350o is meant for Olympus bodies, so yes it will work with any olympus bodies and, any panasonic bodies I presumed, since it worked perfectly with my old trusty Panasonic GF1 ! I have just tested this and confirmed it fires perfectly without issue. Based on this, I believe it will work with any micro 4/3 bodies.

GREAT NEWS from Olympus!!!

Just Announced: M.Zuiko 100-400mm Lens





**I just bought a PanaLeica 100-400mm

Me too

Selling off my just-bought panaleica 100-400mm to get the Oly 100-400mm which is capable of being extended with the 1.4tc or 2.0tc as opposed to the panaleica which cannot.

Exactly!

I have a friend whose EM1 mk ii EVF turns blank screen after he did something. And I wonder if there's anything can be done to help out.

Here's the chronicle of the event according to him:

The memory card is full. So I used a spare garbage card and opened the 18-shot continuous shooting mode.
As a result, the memory card slowed down the camera. I was in a hurry to shoot and forced to power off
the camera, this seems to make the EVF to turn white only, no display of objects seen by the camera.

what has gone wrong? Is this repairable? Or will a simple camera reset do the job?

Tried them all but to no avail

Like you said, it seems the EVF circuit board is the culprit. The issue, the body was bought last October 2019 and the well-known white out problem has been reported since 2012 ( I read from some other forum).

I wonder how much it costs to replace the evf circuit board here in Malaysia?

True also. Nice!!!

Then the omd em1 mk II is safe.

The KINGMA brand is the brand I always go to. And they give battery casing if bought in a package. Friendly to the pocket too. Plenty sellers in Lazada or Shopee.
