Kaspar: “I know you are busy with the EM-1 rumors, but here is a link to an Indiegogo fundraising campaign. The goal is to turn your old film camera into a digital one by putting a sensor in it. If there are more than 5000 backers, he is able to put a m43rds sensor in it. Lower backing numbers will result in 1″ or smaller sensors.http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/digipod”
Joe: “I shot this fitness commercial concept shoot (1st photo done in the series) using the GH3 and a couple of Einstein monolights (gridded beauty dish as key and a gridded 7” reflector as rim). Want to add it for the next roundup? http://www.flickr.com/photos/fotosiamo/9499604817/”
Xavi: “I’m currently travelling. To share my experiences with friends and family (among other reasons) I created THIS [http://xavivives.com/world/] web app. It displays a feed of the pictures I’m taking together with my position at any given time. The idea was to give as much context as possible to an specific moment.
I still working it. If you have any suggestions I’ll love to hear it.
The images are pulled from my Flickr photo stream [http://www.flickr.com/photos/xavings/] and the positions are pulled from openpath.cc[https://openpaths.cc/] (using the GPS of my phone).
Most of the pictures on the app are taken with te EM5. It’s my first professional camera so I can’t really compare as anything else.
I’ve been wearing the camera (with the Panasonic 20mm) on my back almost all the time (and the Olympus 75mm on my pocket).
As here in South-East Asia is raining season the camera has been constantly exposed to pretty bad weather conditions. It also been in to the jungle and riding a motorbike for paths with dust, smoke and rain. I can’t really say that I’ve treated it well, (it had recived constant hits to, just by wearing it everywhere).
It resisted it all (even with no sealed lenses), the only think that failed is the rubber protection around the EVF which I lost. (The one on my second EM5 to)
Even if the camera seems to resist pretty well I end up killing it. My backpack got flooded and with it my camera and my iPhone 5. I left it with rice for few days. The iPhone resurrected (almost intact), the EM5 though is completely dead. The water got in to the battery, the SD card and the sensor…
When I arrived at Phnom Phen I bought a new EM5. I love this camera still.”

You are right. So, go to this website: http://13thfloorphotography.blogspot.com/
The review was done in August.
Nice tale about the E-M5. It bodes well about it becoming a classic. Last time I went into the middle of the Sahara, I didn’t dare to take a digital, but who knows perhaps the E-M5 could take it.
Humidity in the S. East is a v. different matter, but if you keep it constantly covered till you need it, it can probably survive.
I do a lot of cave photography – this is NOT in show caves (tourist caves), but instead in wild, undeveloped caves (real caving). That means they can be wet, muddy, dusty, cold, hot – you name it. So, far the E-M5 (which I am now using for such photography) has held up beautifully. BTW, as for lenses, I have shot with the weather-resistant 12-50mm, and the non-weather resistant 14-150mm and 14mm (Pany). No problems so far.
I was swimming with dolphins yesterday. I used my E-M5 without underwater case, and I even changed my lenses under water without any leakage! 😛
Sounds fake to me…
I work offshore on various ships and boats large and small, I have been using the E-M5 for over 12 months in all kinds of humid and salty conditions, it even takes the occasional splash from a wave. I don’t expect it to last for ever but so far not one problem.
Great shot Joe!
Do people not know that you have to work with weather-sealed bodies *and* lenses as a combination to assure weather-resistance?
Christopher said-> E-P5 for travel photography (SLRlounge):
I would have appreciated in-camera panorama stitching functionality and in-camera HDR functionally. Though it’s something you can do in post processing, it’s much more satisfying to see the result in-camera.
I say: Why Olympus why ???
Why post a ONE YEAR OLD video as if it’s new???
sorry, wrong copy and paste. I updated the post now!
