43 Rumors

75mm/f1.8 is silver, a black weather sealed version would be gold.

The price of the new OM-D e-M5 is fair.
The E-M5 has an excellent price-performance-ratio.
There is a quantum jumb between the pen-models and the new OM-D-series.
I like my E-PL1 and E-Pl2 very much, but my new E-M5 plays in the Premier League.

Quite better than the most DSLRs!
- The world fastest autofocus
- Unmatched 5 axis image stabilization system
- Excellent HD-Video Performance
- Best JPEG-machine on the market
- Excellent EVF (in many situations better than the best OVFs)

I received my Olympus OM-D EM-5 with the M.Zuiko 12-50mm from Amazon four days ago. My first impression after intensive testing: The waiting has been worth it. Reality is even better than virtual advance notice! I’m overwhelmed – exactly what I was dreaming for. I have studied about thirty reviews before I bought the E-M5. [...]

I have to admit – you have got a point!

Dear Cris K, thank you for your sophisticated reply – I fully agree with you. It is not only about design. The main reason for my denial of silver bodies and lenses – you can’t disguise your gear in wild life and street photography efficiently due to the massive reflections. I have no problem with [...]

Olympus is wasting/losing money and liquidity in a serious economic situation! I would have already bought the m.Zuiko 12mm/f2.0 and would buy the new m.Zuiko 75mm/f1.8 – but only in a black version! I own the m.Zuiko 45mm/f.1.8. It’s a superb lens – but I have to bother every time I use this ugly silver [...]

Greetings from my unrealistic dream land: http://www.geek.com/articles/gadgets/rumor-canon-plans-22mp-eis-60-micro-four-thirds-for-early-2011-20100913/ Canon plans 22MP EIS 60 micro four thirds … “…. apparently, the new camera will ship with two available lenses, including a 12-75 mm f2.8-4.0 IS Macro and 75-300 mm f3.5-5.6 IS, and expand later on with a larger catalog including a 5mm F4 fisheye, 8-25mm F4 wide-angle [...]

I agree with the comments of “anonymous” and “stageshadow” all or part: 1. Weathersealed 2. Faster focussing 3. Better IQ but 1. a bigger form factor would be no problem for me 2. Faster! I could not life with f2.8! I would buy (in addition to the m.Zuiko 12-50mm) – A (very) fast lens f1.2 [...]

Dear fh,

thank you very much for your “acoustical transmission”!

Thank you for the interesting information!

Here are my questions to Olympus: (My wish list for the OM-D System and the E-M5) – Splash/dust-proof (black!) versions for the High Grade m.Zuiko lenses (12mm/f2.0, 17mm/f1.4, 45mm/f1.8, 75mm/f1.8 …Perhaps more expensive than the silver versions + 100 to 150 € or $) The silver “Lady-design” is beautiful – but nothing for outdoor adventure [...]

Dear amvr, “Wow, talk about OBVIOUS Olympus employee viral marketing scheme! Did you copy all that from some brochure?” Don’t worry! I’ m an ordinary bank employee in Europe. But in my job it is very important to value customer strategies and knowing if you can trust in the entrepreneurial actions and vision. I’ m [...]
