Oly marketing in my country at least have drunk too much of the social media cool-aid.

I cant believe that a company that sells so few camera’s in this region can justify paying someone to tool round on twitter and facebook all day.

I also have the black E-M5 (they couldn’t deliver the silver I preordered) and the silver lenses (12/2, 45/1.8). The lenses look unconventional on the black body, but in my view they look classy.

Olympus successful… They seem to have had success with the E-M5, but it is too early to say they are successful (the camera division) after all the turmoil. They should certainly listen to customers, but I am sure they should not be careful, too.

What is stupid – and this isn’t meant to sound mean to people, with no self restraint, just stating a fact – is buying a lens in a color you don’t want. Olympus can’t stay in business if no one buys their products, so who is the boss? The customer is!

Don’t let the guy, who you are paying to do a job, tell you how they are going to do it. Make them do it how you want it done, or tell them to get their ass down the road and you’ll get someone else to do it, or do without.

I don’t think Olympus has enough working capital, to go even six months without any sales, so it won’t be a long wait, to get what you really want.

I don’t think most people realize how powerful the Internet is, for bringing about change. You just have to realize it and use it and quit being a sheep.
