I have the em1 and em5m2 and tried the similar shots but when opened (raw files) in OV3, the noise levels looks horrible (without clicking on the high res raw preview button) - is that normal? I've tried off, low and standard NR in camera settings but still the same, the noise is prevalent. If i use standard, noise control is better but details lost. Is it normal that you have constantly click on high res raw preview mode overtime you make minor colour or exposure adjustments in OV3? I find it very cumbersome and slow to see what you really get. Also i tried your workflow method of processing and posting photos up for blogs but when i do on FB or Flickr, the noise levels are very apparent (compared to when viewed in OV3) - why is that? Hope you can help. FYI, i am using neutral settings on my camera. Thanks.

So i have the 14- 42 mm iiR objective with lens hood lh-40 is it as good as de 14- 42 ez objective with no lens- hood? I like the natural colors from the EM10 is it better than the new EM10? First i used always the Olympus E-450 and E-400. The colors are the same and very good. But the dynamic range is better. I like als that the camera is from metal.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403327788850523218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-26616093667973144522015-10-25T02:33:58.597+08:002015-10-25T02:33:58.597+08:00hi everyone. the BLS-1 works perfectly.

In the ISO settings of the camera, when you select low ISO or 6400 and further, the "extension" word appears in the screen. But I read in one very cientific review that low ISO was real ISO indeed, but unusable if you shot RAW due to other things. greetings<br />this is the article: http://www.guillermoluijk.com/article/lowiso/index.htmAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550073061239194758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-68450773738507580272015-03-11T10:34:43.930+08:002015-03-11T10:34:43.930+08:00Hey Robin, great review, this helped me in my deci...Hey Robin, great review, this helped me in my decision to go with the EM10. Got a question though, does focus peaking come on automatically when you enable MF mode say with a MFT lens like the Oly 17mm f/1.8?

Been deciding between various Panasonic and Olympus bodies. Finally made a decision (a sale price really helped) and bought an E-M10 today. I have to give some credit to your reviews and blog since they are extremely informative and very fun to read. Also a big fan of your photos. Thanks for doing what you do, and keep it up!<br />-ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177347405794767729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-44040160237145557672015-02-03T16:15:45.781+08:002015-02-03T16:15:45.781+08:00Hoi Robin,

The sharpness also looks better to my eyes on the primes. Note that I have the old kit lens 14-42 and not the recent pancake version. I think that Robin has tested it and can speak better than me about this specific lens.<br />If you can, ask the shop to take a picture with the Olympus 17mm (or Panasonic 20mm) and with the Olympus 14-42mm and compare the results once back home. Only you can tell if the results suit you or not.Stéphane Buchmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733767509481483858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-37258616961010220742014-08-08T13:29:04.021+08:002014-08-08T13:29:04.021+08:00Noted.

Regarding the lenses, I was personnaly not so happy with the 14-42.

I should stated out the pencake lens attach to EM 10 is actually "Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ".<br />Actually what my concern is, if I only own 1 lens. Compare the 17mm f/1.8 on PEN 5 & 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ on EM 10. Which is better for me?<br />And also, is it better to own EM 10 than EP 5? Cos the boss told me tht if I buy PEN 5, I might regret in the future. & he actually suggest me to take EM 10 (but personally I like PEN 5, the design)<br />In my country, PEN 5 + 17mm is about RM3200++, and EM 10 +14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ is also RM3200++<br /><br />I have try to hold both. As you said, the EM 10 is difficult to stick into pocket, but nicer to hold while taking photo compare to PEN 5. But another problem is I also new, the way I hold and use camera now might not be correct >.<"kspayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01111261869759667948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-55146408322329481852014-08-07T17:03:28.654+08:002014-08-07T17:03:28.654+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.kspayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01111261869759667948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-58568347985054758722014-08-07T16:50:33.572+08:002014-08-07T16:50:33.572+08:00This link shows the size of the 2 bodies: http://c...This link shows the size of the 2 bodies: http://camerasize.com/compare/#459,521<br />Use the links on the left to see different angles.Stéphane Buchmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733767509481483858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-11893333821125210362014-08-07T16:44:59.508+08:002014-08-07T16:44:59.508+08:00The image quality is relatively the same between t...The image quality is relatively the same between the 2 cameras and, according to your message, the size seems to be a criteria of choice (like it is for me). So yes, with a EP-5 + pancake lens, you will be really well equipped to travel + make great pictures. <br />The size and shape of the EM-10 makes is a bit more difficult to stick into a pocket but is still small compared to a DSLR. <br />The best is to go back in the shop and have both bodies in hands to feel the difference.

It allows a close enough shot not to zoom with your feet all the time. That said, it also focuses quickly and allows for low light shooting with less bumping of the ISO. I am enjoying shooting my children at tumbling and tae-kwon-do lessons. Price is good, lens is sharp, and and still keeps the camera at a relatively small foot print (mounting to the OM-D EM-10.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024552405902655920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-91708246531433149262014-03-18T02:26:15.267+08:002014-03-18T02:26:15.267+08:00Hi Robin, I just got my E-M10 last week.

I noticed that it make some small clicking/vibrating noise, I chalked it up as the Image Stabilization moving the sensor?<br />However last weekend, my new E-M10 freeze twice, I was shooting at vertical position and it vibrate & clicking noticably, then it freeze and lcd went dark. When you turn it off and on, the lcd will light up for a bit, you feel small vibration then it turn off again. I thought it was battery went dead, but when i tried again at home, I was able to turn it on again and use it. (Battery show more than half) <br /><br />I'm concern if i got a defective camera?

Reason being, I have the E-M1, absolutely love it, but the main purpose of my M43 kit is travel and street photos (usually in your part of the world), so I tend to miss the smaller size of my first M43 camera, the E-PL5. So the E-M10 seems like an ideal balance of size, functionality, and price, without giving up *too much* of the features that make the E-M1 so good. Also, the built in flash can act as a command, which is awesome. But - what else would I be giving up other than 'fits better in hand' (doesn't matter; i use a thin neck strap to protect it from falling as I drop it), 'weather sealing' (I wouldn't shoot in the rain anyhow) and '5 axis stab' (umm, my E-Pl5 didn't have that and I've always been happy with the stabilization it gets.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932589120869815819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-1963034641127674712014-03-04T12:15:51.486+08:002014-03-04T12:15:51.486+08:00Hi, thanks for the informative review.

The differences that are always highlighted is that the EM-5 is 'higher end' with weather sealed body, 5-axis stabilization and has a port accessory. But the winning point for me is the image quality though. I'm looking to upgrade from my Canon 1000D to something more 'pro' with excellent image quality that is a M4/3 camera. Is the EM-10 producing an exact same image quality as the EM-5? I know it has the same sensor but a better processor, but when it comes down to it, for image quality when it comes to printing, showcasing etc, how does it hold up against the EM-5? :) Would love your advice.
