Well, that's an endorsement if I ever heard one LOL. Jono, you have cost me money before and you and Terry have me primed for checking out the EM5 when one is available to handle. The grip interests me too since I suspect the body alone will be right on the edge of too small for me.Thank you.
When do you get yours? (it would be wonderful to see you posting around here).
From my point of view, day by day, I realise new things to like about the camera, and fewer things to dislike. Viewfinder IBIS stabilisation is a real winner - especially with MF lenses. I thought the poor tracking focus was going to be a problem, but the AF is so fast, you can just follow moving objects and mash the shutter at the right moment (surfing snaps with the 100-300 proved the point). The grip is also splendid - and really well thought out.

OT a bit but this sculpture intrigued me enough that I've explored more of Ford's work. I didn't know her work before.Here's one from today. I visited our railway station as I wanted to exchange some money. Lo and behold, the government has bought one of the well known Weeping Girls sculptures by Laura Ford (UK) and placed it in one of the areas where people pass on their way to the trains:
I may be a complainer always wishing for something more but I carry around my E-M5 daily having fun with it. The image above is taken with the micro version of the Panasonic 25/1.4, wide open.
Really like this one, Glenn.OM-D with Panny 7-14
I like that one Glenn, it's like a sneak peak making me want to see the whole thing.OM-D with Panny 7-14
Thank you for the kind comment Diane. I saw three of L Ford's weeping girls when visiting a sculpture park here a couple of years ago and then again a few other things by her when visiting the Cass Foundation, UK, last year. It was a happy surprise seeing one of the "girls" again.OT a bit but this sculpture intrigued me enough that I've explored more of Ford's work. I didn't know her work before.
Also like the photo. The little girl is selectively focused enough but in context with the woman walking by ignoring (seemingly :clap

Well, you know me: I am a sucker for chrome ...So! you got a chrome one - congratulations.
After only two days of using it one thing seems sure: the grip turns it into a winner.I await your feelings with baited breath!
Jono, I think that's the exact reasons why I went for it... it's everything that the M9 is not: zoom, macro, AF(fast!), video. Well, after agonizing wait, my silver OMD finally arrived. I would have preferred black, but only silver was available. Just mostly checking out the menus today and the battery is already dead... I probably activated the AF too many times, it just amazes meIt makes a great companion for the M9, doing telephoto and macro duties really well.
Really like this one, Glenn.
I had a sort try with my 7-14. but didn't find anything as interesting !
All the best.
Glenn - what a cool building and I like the way you framed it.
Thanks everyone, it's Marina Bay in Singapore:I like that one Glenn, it's like a sneak peak making me want to see the whole thing.
Oh no you're not, David !Now I'm really stealth
On Sunday, we had our annual festivity in the park, it's called "été au chateau" (summer at the castle),
but summer was far, far, faaaaaar away
In fact, it was cold, and it rained THE WHOLE DAY
Still, here's a short impression, short, because I had no weather-sealed lenses with me,
so I had to be careful, even if the camera can have quite a bit of bad weather conditions ....
