Olympus Japan informed that it the new EE-1 DOt Sight accessory for the E-M5II will ship from April 24 in Japan.

You can preorder it here at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto. This is why it useful:

Get some extra help when aiming at faraway subjects with the Olympus EE-1 Dot Sight for OM-D E-M5 Mark II Camera. This is particularly useful when using long telephoto lenses for applications such as wildlife capture. The sight offers a center aiming dot with adjustable brightness and position to enable fast subject acquisition and tracking. You’ll be able to tell whether your aim is right on target or slightly off–without looking through the camera’s viewfinder or using the monitor. The dot sight fits right into the camera’s hot shoe and has a slide lever opening mechanism. Built for durability, it is both dust and splashproof.

Winter Tread: DJI s900 & GH4 from Kevin Luiz on Vimeo.

Olympus gave out free cameras as part of their April Fools joke (Diyphotography).

Capio Studio (video on top):Winter Tread is a proof of concept by Capion Studio for a future short film revolving around the New England area. This piece serves as a mood and style guide to some of the artistic choices of shooting the particular story. The narrative piece will explore thematic notions of the dream world and the subconscious psyche. It is our plan to be able to utilize aerial photography to capture the scope and depth of lucid dreaming. For Winter Tread, we focused on winter as a less literal element, inferring the season as a state of being, or a hardship leading to brighter days. This element (literally and figuratively) will play a significant part in the character’s psyche, branching out with strong visual effects.

Farrukh:We filmed this 8 minute video of Jordan with Queen Rania, Petra, Feynan, the Dead Sea and more, using the Olympus EM1 with the 9-18mm and the 45mm f1.8. Hope your viewers enjoy it :) https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=751923388247253

Sergey:This is not a rumor but I’d like to share this: During shooting in some nightclub my Olympus OM-D E-M10 fell from the 4-meter high balcony onto concrete floor. The first thought that came to my mind was R.I.P. my dear Oly! The 14-42 kit lens was jammed and beyond repair BUT imagine my surprise when the body was repaired by Olympus in a couple of days – serviceman said that he only needed to re-attach the sensor/shutter assembly changing nothing!
That’s what I call TOUGH!
