I got a short note from an anonymous source saying the expected E-P5 firmware update release got a small delay. And the same source confirmed there is no E-M5 firmware update coming any time soon. This means no 0 anti shock feature coming for E-M5 camera owners yet.
As I told you before the E-P5 will have the same 0 anti shock feature from the E-M1 and updated features on peaking mode.

Darn. I really want that E-M5 update. Focus peaking would be nice!
WHAH!
Peaking was set to be as good as NEX’s, Sony probably told them to cut down on the features. Obey.
Peaking to Sony NEX is realy bad, them mark to large area, so we probably have in focus.
They should put more effort into adding features for the em5 through firmware upgrades.
They sold more more em5’s than ep5’s.
The E-M5 didn’t really had shutter shock issues as the E-P5 has. They’re only updating the cameras who really had the issue.
Why this is FT3? it’s 40-60% that it will be delayed? the rumor about the release today was FT5…
I sure hope this source is wrong since I am eagerly awaiting focus peaking on the EM5…although I guess no one promised us that and we are all just hoping.
Maybe this is good news. EM5 not being firmware updated, perhaps it means a new model its on its way….Fingers crossed 🙂
If they update E-M5 with peaking i think I have almost zero percent inclination to upgrade.
That is very good for a 2yo hardware IMO.
Bad news for Oly cause I am sure I am not the only one.
I wont cry over no peaking ever but it will be a factor in decision to upgrade.
I want but dont really desperately need
– Wi-fi —can be done with SD card
– peaking —matter of geting used to what you have
20-24 MPixel pdaf sensor —woul be nice for tracking and a bit more
– Big new HD evf
Now I would really like, an would upgrade for
– no noise on base ISO
– more DR on higher ISOs
– one more stop better High ISO
No focus peaking E-M5. …
big disappointment for thousands of E-M5 holders.
Once bought. …… and a new camera has come out then the old one ….. No updates !
I think it is a shame …
Darn, looks like I’ll be ditching my em5 then. Probably going back to pany
