Iridient Developer now added full RAW support for the E-M5Ii High Resolution mode:

• Now supports the full 64 megapixel output for high resolution mode ORF images from the Olympus E-M5 Mark II. Previously high resolution mode RAW images were automatically downsized images to match the 40 megapixel output used by the camera for its JPEG conversions.

Recent thoughts on using the Olympus E-1 (Thephotographersblock).

Frederik: “Here is a test which shows the E-M5 II video stabilization capabilities using a long lens (120mm equivalent). The video shows that this is way superior to the GH4 with Lumix X 35-100mm f/2.8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_USkqE4_RI”

Ben: “Thought you’d be interested in this project as it was shot over about a 3 year period on the GH2, GH3, and GH4. http://www.yonderbluefilms.com/blog/2015/3/25/an-homage-to-panasonics-lumix-cameras”
